Centric Software Strengthens Centric PLM™ as a Trusted Product Data Foundation for Transparency and Compliance

Expanded capabilities advance trusted product data across the product lifecycle as transparency and regulatory requirements increase

CAMPBELL, Calif., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Centric Software® today announced expanded sustainability, compliance and product governance capabilities across Centric PLM™, extending trusted product data and processes across product development and commercialization. The enhancements reinforce Centric PLM as the trusted product data foundation for increasingly complex product and regulatory requirements. Centric Software delivers innovative, integrated, AI-powered enterprise solutions that drive product development from concept to commercialization for brands, retailers and manufacturers across fashion, luxury, footwear, outdoor, home, cosmetics & personal care and multi-category retail.

As expectations for product transparency increase, trusted product data is becoming a business imperative. Organizations need accurate, trusted and connected information across products, materials, suppliers and packaging to make informed decisions, accelerate product development and respond to evolving requirements, from Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) to broader initiatives under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), including forthcoming Digital Product Passports.

For many organizations, the challenge is not creating more sustainability information but transforming fragmented product, material, supplier and packaging data into trusted product records that improve compliance and decision-making. Rather than relying on point solutions for individual compliance requirements, Centric PLM embeds sustainability, compliance and traceability directly into product and packaging development, creating a single, trusted source where product information is captured once and reused as regulatory requirements evolve.

“Sustainability is a journey and greater visibility into materials and product data enables us to turn our goals into action,” said Sandy Flint, Senior Materials Manager, STIO. “With Centric PLM, we can integrate these priorities into the way we develop products and track key information such as materials, environmental impact and compliance. Having that information in one place gives us the visibility to make more informed decisions throughout product development.”

The latest Centric PLM enhancements enable brands, retailers and manufacturers to:

Improve sustainability reporting with Sustainability Profiles and automated composition roll-ups for more accurate labeling and reporting.Strengthen compliance governance with centralized Certificate Management, supplier certifications and expiry tracking.Design for circularity earlier with recyclability and circularity insights embedded in product development.Improve supplier collaboration and visibility by collecting and governing sustainability and compliance information in Centric PLM.

“Product transparency is reshaping how products are created and the brands that succeed will be those that make trusted product data the foundation for innovation, sustainability and compliance,” said Fabrice Canonge, CEO of Centric Software. “Centric PLM delivers a connected foundation of trusted product data that enables better decisions, stronger collaboration and greater agility as regulatory and market expectations evolve.”

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hivelocity today introduced the Hivelocity Reseller Partner Program that enables hosting providers, managed service providers, agencies, and independent software vendors to sell Hivelocity bare metal, VPS, and VDS. Partners offer Hivelocity infrastructure under their own brand and own price while remaining in control of the customer relationship.

Hivelocity Reseller Partner Program Enables Hosting Provider and Software Vendor Growth via Bare Metal Infrastructure

The program aligns with new trends across the Hivelocity customer base. Workloads are shifting from the hyperscale cloud to dedicated infrastructure. As part of this transition, many businesses opt to purchase through a reseller instead of directly. But resellers are facing shrinking margins and vendors that don’t provide rich long-term support. The Hivelocity Reseller Partner Program is designed to help address these challenges.

The entry-level Member tier is available to partners for no cost, providing access to Hivelocity’s myVelocity portal, and the Hivelocity Academy. Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers are assigned based on committed monthly spend. These tiers include wholesale discounts, a dedicated account manager, quarterly business reviews, and marketing development funds.

The program’s objective is to reduce the friction that resellers contend with. Marketing development funds enable partners to host webinars, run joint and field events, and conduct paid search campaigns. At the highest tier, Platinum partners receive a seat on the Hivelocity Customer Advisory Board alongside direct communication with company leadership. First-line support is delivered by partners. U.S.-based Hivelocity engineers are available around the clock for escalations.

“Resellers are essential to our business. And to succeed in today’s market, they need more than just a price sheet,” said Matt Schatz, Chief Revenue Officer at Hivelocity. “The Reseller Partner Program provides what they truly require to grow—including effective marketing and a highly responsive, customer-centric team. We believe the growth of our reseller partners is our growth, too.”

The Hivelocity Reseller Partner Program is available now. Learn more at www.hivelocity.net.
