"The food and beverage industry is particularly sensitive to supply chain disruption, and is confronting other market disruptions, such as the shift towards hybrid working, price fluctuations and rapidly changing consumer preferences," says Ron Watson, VP of Product at Centric Software. "Centric PLM brings teams together in one digital location with access to real-time product go-to-market data to make decisions, work collaboratively and react swiftly to roadblocks. Working closely with our innovation partners and Customer Advisory Board, we have developed features in the latest release of Centric PLM that further enhance collaboration, automation and security."

Users can pull in a rich variety of information and work in other programs while connected with Centric PLM. Centric PLM v7.5 introduces Microsoft Teams integration, enabling users to chat seamlessly within Teams while also working in PLM to communicate more effectively and action a 'one version of the truth' approach. On the sourcing front, the new Supplier Support Request feature improves supplier collaboration with the ability to generate supplier requests at the Food level, SKU level or Raw Materials level.
"Product development and launch challenges are usually caused by a lack of information or difficulties in communication," says Ms. Wang Xiaofen, Head of Product at Starpro. "Multiple teams will work on products together in real time with Centric PLM, and we will be able to collaborate with suppliers to develop products faster and more accurately."
The latest Centric PLM release debuts user-friendly automation tools for food & beverage companies to eliminate steps in daily processes and save time. These include data package templates for foods, SKUs and formulated materials and a recipe tool that allows users to import recipes quickly and accurately from an outside source into Centric PLM with a simple copy/paste action.
As most companies now have teams working remotely from different devices and with security breaches and phishing attacks on the rise, Centric Software has also introduced a critical layer of security with multi-factor authentication to log in to Centric PLM v7.5.
"We work hand and hand with our customers to continue to evolve Centric PLM as market conditions change," says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software.
