Case Study: Deuter achieves greater transparency and faster decisions with Centric Software’s PLM

Deuter Fuels Faster Decision Making with Centric PLM™

Deuter, the German backpack and outdoor gear maker, faced challenges with limited transparency and coordination across teams in the US, Germany, and its Vietnam manufacturing partner. Product data was scattered across PDFs, Excel files, and other documents, making it hard to keep materials, BOMs, and design changes up to date. Deuter chose Centric PLM to support its complex product development and improve real-time access to information.

Centric Software implemented Centric PLM to centralize product data, streamline collaboration, and make changes visible to all teams, even while traveling. The result was better transparency across the supply chain, less time spent searching for information, more consistent BOMs, and improved workflow and quality control. Deuter said Centric PLM made its process more efficient and helped it document product development more clearly for higher-quality, more sustainable innovation.
