3 Key Ways PLM Software Facilitates Innovation in the Food, Beverage, Cosmetics and Personal Care Industries


Innovation is crucial for consumer goods brands, especially in trend-driven industries. New product development (NPD) and iteration on existing lines are necessary to stay competitive and expand market share. Complex processes require multiple teams, significant resources, and a high return on investment (ROI). Older methods and paper-based systems are considered a liability in today's modern world. Purpose-built technology can help overcome these challenges.
