Gartner®: Market Guide for PLM in Food & Beverage Industries

• The Food and Beverage (F&B) PLM market does not offer a single solution that satisfies all the needs of an F&B product life cycle. In practice, F&B manufacturers are using multiple software applications to address the different elements of PLM.
• Disparate solutions to manage product data struggle with data errors that delay product launches and lead to product recalls resulting from quality deficiencies and poor regulatory compliance.
• New PLM vendors are emerging and existing vendors are consolidating solutions to bridge the gaps in the F&B product life cycle.”
