Helps us be proactive

April 10th, 2024

It all trickles back to PLM. If God forbid we have ten cases in an hour, alerts can go out to the team. We really try to monitor and be proactive as much as we can by letting the system and the data speak for itself.

The flexibility of Propel’s platform is fantastic – it gives us the structure and rigor when needed, such as when designing new products, but also flexes to meet our changing business needs. As a medical device company, we work to serve the patients’ needs and Propel helps us tailor our solution to deliver on those needs.

Great for our start-up

April 10th, 2024 • Product Experience: 0-6 months • Role: End User

As a start-up, getting the team’s buy-in on a product management system is critical. We needed one source of truth – and, to get that source of truth, we needed people to use it regularly. Propel provided an easy-to-use interface that helped us get up to speed quickly. It also has the flexibility to make it our own so it can grow with our constantly changing business needs.
