Tommy John Powers 200% SKU Growth with Centric PLM in Business Expansion Strategy

 Centric Software^® is delighted to announce that customer Tommy John has increased SKU volume by 200% since the implementation of Centric PLM™. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, comply, buy, make, price, allocate, assort, market, sell and replenish fashion, luxury, footwear, outdoor, home, cosmetics & personal care products as well as multi-category retail, to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Founded in 2008, Tommy John redefined everyday comfort with innovative fabrics, engineered fit and category-spanning collections of innerwear and loungewear for men and women. The brand expanded into new wholesale channels and continues to grow a loyal following across eCommerce and retail.

As Tommy John scaled its assortment, teams needed a more dynamic system to streamline product development and manage complex product types, such as 3-packs and core collections. “Centric PLM has become the foundation of how we work,” says Stephanie Schultz, business analysis manager at Tommy John. “Whether we’re updating product hierarchies or launching new capsule collections, everything starts in Centric PLM.”

Since its implementation in 2017, Tommy John has increased its SKU volume by more than 200%. The brand now manages over 3,500 SKUs annually and mentions it now takes just 30 seconds to update 5 BOMs, compared to 30+ minutes before PLM, illustrating dramatic time savings across teams. Additionally, they’ve built flexible product hierarchies, and factory partners now have direct access to tech packs. More timely updates to Bill of Materials (BOM), packaging templates, and integrated line planning have dramatically reduced manual work and enabled faster decision-making across teams. Tommy John is scaling with speed and precision, powered by Centric PLM.

 “We are proud that Centric PLM empowers Tommy John’s teams with the flexibility and efficiency needed to accelerate new product launches and category expansion,” said Fabrice Canonge, President at Centric Software. “We’re thrilled to partner with them and look forward to their ongoing success.”
