Published

on

Competitive market intelligence, cost simulation, supplier management and consumer response are all tools Centric Software provides to combat tariff uncertainty

CAMPBELL, Calif.,, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Centric Software’s end-to-end concept-to-commercialization solutions like Centric PLM™ mitigate uncertainty caused by tariff activity. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, formulate, develop, procure, manufacture and sell consumer goods products in cosmetics & personal care, food & beverage, fashion and multi-category retail to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Recent tariff activity has affected cosmetics & personal care companies, resulting in fluctuating ingredient and packaging costs. Changes in regulations are happening day-by-day and companies must figure out how to absorb the rise in costs or adjust pricing strategies to pass increases on to consumers.

Centric Software’s wider end-to-end product lifecycle platform, Centric PLM integrates with all Centric Software solutions including Centric Market Intelligence™ and Centric PXM™. All Centric Software solutions, infused with AI optimization as a natural evolution of trusted rule-based methods, target the unique challenges faced by the retail sector and deliver comprehensive, data-driven decision-making for modern retail operations.

Real-time access to data becomes crucial. Centric Market Intelligence fights uncertainty by giving companies insight into what competitors are doing with respect to pricing, discounting and positioning. Brands and retailers can develop pricing strategies across global markets, informed by granular, SKU-level insights and international benchmarking capabilities. This gives the ability to proactively optimize global assortments and price position.

Other ways to combat the effect of tariffs are to:

Manage or switch suppliers – due to tariffs being higher on goods/ingredients from certain countries.

Centric Software technologies enable all these strategies.

Centric PLM facilitates agile product development, enabling companies to quickly adapt to market changes,; evaluate and compare suppliers,; simulate costing scenarios,; adjust landed cost calculations,; support multi-sourcing strategies,; and facilitate quick supplier revision requests.

With AI-formula matching, developers get a head start in formulating or reformulating products. Centric PLM manages packaging from briefs, to specifications to artwork and labeling. Ingredient and nutrition label information is pulled directly from PLM into packaging, eliminating the chance for error that exists when transferring data manually between systems.

To improve consumer experience across all touchpoints, Centric PXM, Centric product experience management, combines product information management (PIM), digital asset management (DAM), content syndication to e-commerce sites, marketplaces and social media and digital shelf analytics (DSA). It captures demand signals from digital sales channels and shows consumer behavior in real-time, creating a continuous feedback loop, so brands can quickly adjust products, pricing and inventory to personalize customer experiences and increase sell-through in response to whatever the current conditions are.

“Centric Software’s market-driven solutions equip cosmetics & personal care companies to weather economic disruptions, whether they are from new tariffs, supply chain issues or other world events,” says Chris Groves, CEO of Centric Software. “For the cosmetics industry in particular, packaging makes up a large portion of the cost, so changes in packaging supply have a similarly large effect. With the tools we provide, companies can run ‘what-if’ scenarios on not just cost, but manufacturing locations, splitting it among countries to determine what makes the most sense taking shipping into account as well.”

NANNING, China, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from china-asean-media.com.

The 14-day “2026 Vietnam-China Cross-Border Tourism AI Empowerment Cooperation and Exchange Program” successfully concluded on April 19 in Nanning, Guangxi. Co-hosted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China) and the Departments of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang provinces (Vietnam), the event brought together nearly 30 tourism officials and industry representatives from the four Vietnamese localities.

With the theme “Vietnam-China AI + Cross-Border Tourism Exchange and Cooperation,” the program combined expert lectures, case studies on AI applications, and field visits. Participants gained insights into ASEAN-China tourism policies, AI-driven cross-border cooperation models, and smart tourism technologies. Hands-on training enabled them to use AI tools for decision-making, product development, and destination branding.

The delegation conducted field studies in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, and Hechi. They visited the China-ASEAN AI Innovation and Cooperation Center, the “Easy Visit Guangxi” platform, the No. Wang Cultural Industrial Park, and the BAO JUN base, experiencing Guangxi’s smart, industrial, landscape, and wellness tourism offerings.

A meaningful part of the program was retracing President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary footsteps in Guangxi, including visits to the former site of Yucai School in Nanning, the former residence of Ho Chi Minh in Liuzhou, and the “September 2” School site in Guilin. On April 17, all participants attended the launch ceremony of the 2026 Vietnam-China Border People’s Carnival in Nanning, witnessing the deep friendship and mutual support between the border communities of both nations.

At the closing ceremony on April 18, a cross-border tourism product design competition was held. The team from Quang Ninh won the Best Design Award, while teams from Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang received Excellence Awards. Mr. Lưu Bá Mạc, Vice Director of Lang Son’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, praised the program for fostering practical cooperation and opening new directions for the “comrades and brothers” friendship between local authorities.

The program not only provided Vietnamese tourism professionals with valuable knowledge in AI and smart tourism but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation in building shared tourism information platforms, developing smart products, and enhancing data connectivity. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to advancing high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry through AI, contributing to the strategic Vietnam-China community with a shared future.
