Case Study: Outward Hound achieves scalable product organization and faster communication with Centric Software's Centric PLM

Outward Hound Saves 20% Product Development Time with Centric PLM™

Outward Hound, a Denver-based pet products company, was growing rapidly through acquisitions and needed a better way to manage expanding product data, brands, and workflows. Before working with Centric Software, the team relied on scattered spreadsheets and documents, making it hard to control versions, standardize processes, and keep product information organized.

Centric Software implemented Centric PLM as Outward Hound’s digital foundation, centralizing product data and connecting suppliers through a portal. The result was faster, more accurate daily operations, improved communication, and better scalability: SKU count increased 8x and PLM users tripled after implementation, helping Outward Hound bring products to market on time.
