What happens instead of centering spans, you center divs? – Jeredriq Demas
Put icons and text in a div then centering will work. – Nathaniel Flick

Add the text-center class to the div surrounding your icon instead of of the icon span like so:

<div class="row text-center"> 
  <span class="fa fa-users fa-5x"> </span>
</div>

You can simplify your HTML markup to the below and the text under icons will be center aligned based on the class text-center assigned to parent col div.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<div class="container">
	<div class="row">
		<div class="col-md-3 text-center">
			<span class="fa fa-building fa-5x"> </span>
			<h3>Company Profile</h3>
		</div>

		<div class="col-md-3 text-center">
			<span class="fa fa-shopping-cart fa-5x"> </span>
			<h3>Shopping Cart</h3>
		</div>

		<div class="col-md-3 text-center">
			<span class="fa fa-industry fa-5x"> </span>
			<h3>Inventory Control</h3>
		</div>

		<div class="col-md-3 text-center">
			<span class="fa fa-users fa-5x"> </span>
			<h3>User Management</h3>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

Simply add the "text-center" class to the "fa" element container:

from:

<div class="row"> 
  <span class="fa fa-building fa-5x text-center"> </span>

to:

<div class="row text-center"> 
  <span class="fa fa-building fa-5x text-center"> </span>

Simply you can add one custom class for making those icons to center align.
You can check this fiddle.

.icon-center{
  margin:0 auto;
}
