Case Study: PEARL iZUMi achieves sustainability goals with Centric Software

PEARL iZUMi Enables Sustainability with Centric PLM™

PEARL iZUMi, a cycling gear, footwear, and sustainable apparel brand, was looking to strengthen its sustainability efforts while reducing waste, improving materials tracking, and supporting packaging reduction. The company needed better visibility into materials, carbon footprint data, and sourcing decisions, and turned to Centric Software’s Centric PLM to help manage those goals.

With Centric Software, PEARL iZUMi integrated PLM with its planning system to send monthly material updates to vendors, cutting seasonal material waste and improving demand alignment. Centric PLM also enabled detailed sustainability reporting down to the garment and fiber level, helping the company track recycled and organic content, oil usage, and packaging data; it even supported initiatives like the Pedal to Zero campaign, which shows consumers the miles needed to offset product emissions.
