Skechers China streamlines 3,000+ SKUs with Centric PLM

Skechers China, a major footwear and apparel company, faced challenges with scattered product data, siloed collaboration and manual costing processes that delayed pricing decisions and misaligned R&D with margin targets. Their multi-category expansion also required a centralized system for oversight. To address this, they turned to Centric Software and implemented Centric PLM.

The solution from Centric Software provided a unified platform that standardized data and connected teams and suppliers. This streamlined costing, improved supplier benchmarking and created a centralized knowledge base. The results included more efficient R&D workflows, accurate cost calculations throughout development and a scalable system for managing over 3,000 SKUs annually, which safeguarded profitability and fueled innovation.
