Case Study: Duluth Trading Company boosts product development efficiency with Centric PLM

Duluth Trading Company eliminates 80+ spreadsheets and drives 97% of apparel sales with Centric Software

Duluth Trading Company, a workwear and apparel retailer, faced significant challenges in managing its product development process. The company relied on over 80 spreadsheets and countless email attachments, leading to version control issues, a lack of visibility into project progress, and inefficient communication with its vendors. This cumbersome system was hindering growth and efficiency.

By implementing Centric Software's PLM solution, Duluth Trading centralized its product data, material libraries, and tech packs. Centric PLM streamlined processes, provided real-time visibility, and successfully onboarded vendors into the system. The results were highly measurable: the company eliminated more than 80 spreadsheets, and 97% of its apparel sales were developed with vendors directly in Centric PLM. This drove major efficiency gains, supported significant company growth, and resulted in substantial cost savings.
