Case Study: Volcom creates styles 7X faster with Centric Software's Centric PLM

Volcom Creates Styles 7X Faster with Centric PLM™

Volcom, a global apparel brand, was frustrated with its legacy product lifecycle management (PLM) system because much of the product process happened outside the tool, and heavy customization required complex coding. As the company shifted from a wholesale business to a multi-channel retail brand, it needed better visibility, easier collaboration, and a system that could scale with its growing global operations.

Centric Software implemented Centric PLM for Volcom, working closely with merchandising and design teams to fit the company’s workflows and data. The results were immediate: style entry for the Snow team dropped from two weeks to a day and a half, about 7x faster, while Volcom also gained greater visibility, stronger user buy-in, and more streamlined collaboration across teams.
