Case Study: KEEN cuts reporting time by 50% with Centric Software's Centric PLM

KEEN Cut Reporting Time by 50% Thanks to Centric PLM™

KEEN, the outdoor lifestyle brand, was struggling with an Excel- and email-heavy product development process that created confusion, multiple “sources of truth,” and slow reporting as the company grew globally. To keep pace with shrinking time-to-market and rising complexity, KEEN needed a more scalable way to manage footwear and apparel development, and chose Centric Software’s Centric PLM.

Centric Software implemented Centric PLM to centralize design, development, line management, materials, costing, merchandising, and regional workflows in one system. The result was faster, more accurate reporting, stronger global visibility, and earlier issue resolution; one team cut report output time by 50%, while KEEN also improved sample tracking and reduced errors and time spent chasing the latest information.
