Centric Software Has Won Just Food Excellence Awards for the Third Year in a Row

Centric Software®, the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) market leader is pleased to announce that it has won five Just Food Excellence Awards 2025. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to design, develop, formulate, source, comply, buy, make, package, market and sell consumer goods products in food & beverage, grocery and multi-category retail to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

The Just Food Excellence Awards is an independent awards program powered by Global Data’s business intelligence, where over one billion data sets are analyzed by researchers, journalists and AI to rank top-tier companies and their achievements in over 200 countries.

For the third year in a row, Centric Software has been recognized by Just Food, this time in five different categories: Mergers & Acquisitions – Strategic Acquisition; Innovation – Product Lifecycle Management; Business Expansion – Digitalization; Product Launches – PLM Solutions; and Research and Development – Digital Product Development.

Centric PLMTM for food & beverage empowers retailers and manufacturers to transform product development from concept to commercialization, connecting all teams from R&D, procurement, packaging, compliance to manage complexity, increase efficiency, lower costs and get products to market faster to boost product innovation.

Tina Ross, Global Awards Manager at Just Food says, “We are impressed that Centric Software has once again won the Just Food Excellence Awards for its innovative approach in various aspects of the industry.” Ross mentions the different awards. “Centric Software continues to demonstrate growth via business expansion through numerous new global customers and through M&A with the acquisition of Contentserv, a Product Experience Management (PXM) company that encompasses PIM, DAM, content syndication and Digital Shelf Analytics (DSA) to optimize the product commercialization lifecycle, increase sales channels, boost sell through and drive margins, thereby extending the functionality of Centric solutions.

In addition, the three other awards for Innovation – PLM; Product Launches – PLM; and R&D – Digital Product Development show Centric Software’s commitment to ongoing innovation. Ross explains, “Centric Software consistently launches new, customer-driven features, such as multi-level impact analysis, advanced formulation efficiency tools and new enhancements that directly address regulatory, quality, and supply chain challenges unique to food & beverage, enabling faster and more accurate product launches.” Of the Innovation award, in light of recent market churn, Ross says, “Centric Software has rapidly adapted to address urgent market disruptions like tariffs, providing customers with actionable, technology-driven strategies to maintain agility and profitability.”

Centric Software has enabled scenario modeling and digital “what-if” analysis, allowing R&D teams to instantly assess the impact of ingredient changes, regulatory shifts, or supply chain events on numerous SKUs. Ross notes, “As evidence for the R&D award, Centric customers have noted measurable R&D productivity improvements, up to 50%, and reduced time-to-market, up to 60%, validated by customer case studies.”

Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software states, “We are thrilled to be honored for the third year in a row by Just Food. Being recognized in five different categories—the highest number of awards we have won from Just Food to date—underscores Centric Software’s success and growth in the food industry, speaking to innovation, agility and responsiveness.”
