The latest release v7.8, builds even more flexibility into product hierarchies. Items can be moved in and out of these hierarchies, which can also be replicated for similar products. Pulling it all together, the Finished Product level allows everything to be included such as ingredients, raw materials, packaging and on up to the creation of assortments and variety packs. Also new in v7.8 are enhancements to the ‘mass replace’ function: ‘mass add’ and ‘mass delete’ capabilities.
Other notable features include: Supplier Support Request, allowing users to generate supplier requests at both the Finished Product level or Raw Materials level; greater integration with Microsoft Teams to save users time and reduce the chances of errors caused by switching between platforms; artwork and packaging approval. Centric Software also has partnerships with CAD design solutions such as Solidworks, ADOBE and Rhino.
These functionalities are clearly proving to be useful to the industry as Centric has secured a range of new clients and seen impressive growth since launching its food & beverage business unit. Customers include multinationals like Ferrero and Land O’Lakes, through to smaller companies and startups like Wicked Foods and MeEat Food Tech. The company’s reach is global and clients can be found in countries as diverse as the US, Italy, Indonesia, the Netherlands and China. In the latter, it is already the chosen platform of LIHOO, Teway Food and Starpro.
