Case Study: Dainese accelerates product development and streamlines certifications with Centric Software

Dainese Reaches Apex of Design & Development After Teaming Up with Centric Software

Dainese, the Italian performance gear and apparel company, needed a better way to manage highly complex product development, certifications, and global homologation requirements that were previously tracked offline in Excel. As the business grew and product lines expanded across garments, equipment, electronics, and safety gear, Dainese turned to Centric Software and Centric PLM to create a more standardized, digital process.

Centric Software implemented Centric PLM as a single source of truth for product data, helping teams across design, sourcing, quality, R&D, and supply chain collaborate more efficiently. The rollout took about nine months, with 100+ users adopted quickly, including 25% of staff at the Italian head office, and Dainese is now managing 3,000+ styles, 10,000 color variants, and 9,000 materials while freeing teams to focus more on innovation and faster product development.
