STATEN ISLAND, NY – DECEMBER 3, 2015 – RIS News Magazine has announced its 15th annual LeaderBoard of best technology vendors in retail, and Celerant Technology took the top spot for leader in Technology Innovation. The company also once again won the number two spot in the coveted top software provider category for the second year in a row. Additionally, Celerant reclaimed the number one position in Apparel Vendor and top Specialty Retail categories, repeating its performance from 2014. The top rankings in the apparel and specialty markets were attributed to Celerant’s “broad suite” approach that offers a full, single solution that works for both apparel and specialty retailers.

Celerant ranked highly in several other categories, securing top five positions in Retail Concentration, Overall Performance, Total Cost of Operations, ROI, Software Reliability, Quality of Services, Recommendation, Mid-Sized Vendor and Broad Suite Vendor. This marks the twelfth consecutive year Celerant has secured top positions in the listing, cementing its commitment to service and quality. The LeaderBoard annual survey published by RIS News ranks the top 20 out of 99 retail technology software vendors. Final rankings are determined by vendor forms and retailer surveys and surveys are supervised by a third-party research firm to assure credibility of results.

“Celerant has garnered a reputation for offering an extensive and customizable feature set, and we are grateful to all our clients who participated in the LeaderBoard survey and bestowed upon us such high honors.
