Selerant Simplifies Process-Based PLM for Food & Beverage Manufacturers with Release of DevEX Baseline

New Software Offers Pre-Configured Formula-Based Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) for Food & Beverage Products

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#PLM–Selerant, a leading global provider of formula-based product lifecycle
management (PLM) software, today announced the release of its new DevEX
Baseline System for food and beverage manufacturers.

“Manufacturers need applications that provide speed, agility, accuracy
and ability to track the subtle changes across multiple product lines
and regions in a global marketplace,” notes Gartner, Inc. in Hype
Cycle for Process Manufacturing and PLM, Michelle Duerst,
Simon F Jacobson, Rick Franzosa, July 19, 2017.

From idea to label, Selerant’s
core DevEX PLM platform enables companies to unify and control
critical aspects of New
Product Development and Introduction (NPDI), including innovation
and R&D, specification and formulation management, product portfolio
management, compliance, and packaging.

“DevEX Baseline for food and beverage saves time, resources and overall
implementation costs by leveraging our state-of-the-art predefined
templates, documents and configuration tools that are all tightly
integrated within Selerant’s proven and world-class project management
best practices,” said Federico Fontanella, Director of Product
Management at Selerant.

DevEX Baseline’s three configuration profiles offer PLM options for any
food and beverage company, regardless of size or maturity of existing
processes around PLM:

• Express Configuration is for companies that need standard
  product data and do not have well-defined business processes for
  change control of the product data.
• Standard Configuration is for companies that want to control
  product development with structured status management phases and more
  detailed product data templates.
• Plus Configuration is for companies with complex business
  processes that need version control, specification templates, and
  process reporting.

DevEX PLM Baseline Food and Beverage Templates include:

• Ingredients
  Management: Implements creation, approval, promotion
  and activation processes for ingredients and their specifications.
• Packaging
  Management: Implements creation, approval and
  activation processes for packaging materials and their specifications.
• Finished
  Product Management: Implements creation, approval and
  activation processes for finished products and their specifications.
• Product Development: Food and beverage driven formula
  development integrated with approval workflows for recipes and their
  specifications.
• Regulatory: Implements single and multi-product labels,
  nutritional parameters and regulatory substances management.
• Product type specific functionalities: juices, alcoholic
  beverages and cereal products.

"Food manufacturers need to get products to shelf faster than ever while
remaining compliant, and our DevEX Baseline system can help them get up
and running in a fraction of the time a complex PLM implementation
typically takes,” said Sunil Thomas, Selerant’s Chief Operations
Officer, North America.

installation to determine potential efficiencies incorporating DevEX
Baseline. For more information or to request a demo visit: www.selerant.com/devex-baseline.
