Case Study: MUSTANG Group achieves supplier transparency and faster product development with Centric Software

Creating Transparency between Styles and Suppliers: A Success Story from Mustang Group

MUSTANG Group, a German jeans pioneer with suppliers across Asia and North Africa, needed a single source of truth to support ambitious growth. Relying on PDM plus Excel, Word and Adobe caused duplicated data, poor visibility into trims and materials, slow sample cycles and cumbersome communication with its sourcing agent, Omnibrand—hampering buying, pricing and product development decisions.

MUSTANG implemented Centric PLM (Centric 8) in 15 weeks and integrated Omnibrand and the Collection Book iPad app to centralize tech packs, samples, fittings and pricing. The result: eliminated duplicate data entry, clearer supplier collaboration and faster sample development, with up to ~30% fewer supplier queries, ~30% faster product-info searches, ~40% faster trim searches and a four-day reduction in development time.
