NEMO Equipment (NEMO) has selected Centric Software's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution for emerging enterprises, Centric SMB.
Founded in 2002, NEMO brings the highest levels of design and engineering to the world of outdoor adventure sports. NEMO is based in New Hampshire and makes innovative, thoughtfully-designed tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, camp furniture and camp life gear. In 2017, NEMO won REI's Vendor Partner of the Year Award and was ranked one of New Hampshire's top ten companies to work for by Business NH Magazine
NEMO has grown by an impressive 25% annually in the last 5 years, bringing significant challenges.
"We're a seasonal business like many Centric customers and our biggest challenge is synchronizing product development timelines with go-to-market," says Brent Merriam, Chief Operating Officer at NEMO. "Achieving that with spreadsheets, emails and other disassociated tools became unwieldy. We needed a centralized database of information to build our product development calendars."
Following demos and reference calls with satisfied Centric PLM users in the outdoor industry, NEMO selected Centric's PLM solution for growing brands, Centric SMB.
"We're really excited that Centric has a solution for small-to-medium businesses," says Merriam. "Centric SMB is intuitive to use and because Centric is very experienced in outdoor, we speak the same language from a product development standpoint."
As Merriam continues, "The biggest initial impact will be having a single source of truth, with a materials library and Bill of Materials (BOM) library for current and historical product data. We'll be able to predict material order quantities more accurately, improve access to test data for the quality team and evaluate whether materials are meeting our sustainability goals."
"The Centric team has been very attentive and diligent, and we're looking forward to kicking off the implementation," he concludes.
"We are excited to announce that NEMO has selected Centric SMB," says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. "NEMO is a rapidly-growing company that recognizes the unique benefits of Centric PLM for outdoor and adventure brands, and we look forward to working with them."
