Case Study: Mystery Ranch achieves 30% greater BOM accuracy with Centric Software

Mystery Ranch Increases Accuracy by 30% with Centric PLM™

Mystery Ranch, a Montana-based backpack company serving demanding military, firefighting, hunting, and mountaineering customers, faced growing complexity in product development, supply chain tracking, and compliance. Its legacy PLM system, spreadsheets, and emails couldn’t keep up with its mix of fast-turn military work and longer seasonal outdoor product cycles, creating “spreadsheet chaos” in costing, sourcing, materials, and testing data. Centric Software’s Centric 8 PLM was selected to better manage these specialized product requirements.

Centric Software implemented Centric PLM to centralize product data, streamline BOM creation, and improve collaboration across teams and manufacturers. The result was a 30% improvement in BOM accuracy, elimination of costing and pricing spreadsheets, faster product development, and better real-time access to documentation; product documentation accuracy rose from 90% to 99%. Mystery Ranch also completed the implementation in just five months and now has a scalable digital foundation for future growth.
