Case Study: Mizuno achieves faster product development and 10.2% SKU growth with Centric Software's Centric PLM

Mizuno Save Time & Boost SKUs with Centric PLM™

Mizuno USA, the sports brand subsidiary of Mizuno, was struggling with limited visibility into product development, siloed planning, and painful updates managed through ERP systems and spreadsheets. The company needed a better way to plan categories, track multiple styles, and set realistic launch timelines, so it chose Centric Software’s Centric PLM.

Centric Software implemented Centric PLM across Mizuno USA’s divisions to centralize product information and standardize communication and development workflows. The result was a holistic organizational change: category managers can now handle 50–75% more styles, one division increased SKU count by 10.2% in a year, and development timelines shortened significantly, helping Mizuno work more efficiently and speed up go-to-market efforts.
