As B2B buyers demand more data-driven proof in increasingly crowded software markets, Software Finder today announced the winners of its inaugural Excellence Award. The award is designed to help buyers cut through noise and identify high-performing software with confidence.

The Excellence Award recognizes software products that demonstrate measurable performance, verified customer satisfaction, and sustained market engagement.

This year’s Excellence Award recipients include several widely used platforms across healthcare, finance, and enterprise operations, including BambooHR, Absorb LMS, and ADP Inc., each selected based on verified performance and customer experience data. A full list of award winners is available on Software Finder’s website.

Award recipients were selected through a rigorous twelve-month evaluation cycle analyzing more than 12,000 verified user reviews, over 1,000 monthly buyer consultation transcripts, and behavioral engagement signals such as product comparisons, demo requests, and inquiry volumes.

Products are evaluated across four weighted indices designed to reflect a modern buyer’s journey: the Customer Happiness Index (CHI), Market Engagement Index (MEI), Feature Impact Score (FIS), and Expert Confidence Index (ECI).

“Buyers are overwhelmed with options, but trust still comes from evidence,” said Marium Lodhi, Chief Marketing Officer at Software Finder. “The Excellence Award is designed to give buyers a data-driven signal they can rely on, grounded in real customer experience, not marketing claims.”
