Platform
Everything a new product needs, in one place.
A modular platform that combines a product master, a workflow engine, light PLM, supplier collaboration and AI agents, right-sized to your process and your data. No stitching together a PLM, a PIM, a project tool and a shared drive.
Product master
One record per product, keyed on one item code from concept to launch. Category field sets capture what matters for each product type, with required fields enforced before a gate can close.
Workflow and project management
Define every step, owner, sign-off and milestone gate once. Work moves to the next person automatically, with alerts and escalations, and a live dashboard replaces status meetings and separate project boards.
Light PLM
BOMs, cost cards, replacement parts and where-used, and engineering change requests, sized for products assembled by suppliers.
Product change requests
Request a change in plain language, send it to the vendor, track counters and close it with a full audit trail, then follow it through to the first production part.
First production quality
Inspect every critical dimension, check every agreed change was built in, and run grouped 5W1H root cause analysis to closure.
See the quality workflowVendor and supplier portal
Vendors sign in with their own free login, see only their own items, and complete validated fields that prevent spelling and formatting errors, with save-as-draft and submit. Vendor users are unlimited.
Drawings and engineering review
Concept and shop drawings move through review to the order meeting, with every decision recorded. Files in Dropbox are linked through the API, so nothing has to move.
AI agents
Product Q&A, vendor spec extraction with cited sources, PCR drafting, variance grouping and root-cause drafts, product copy, and plain-language explanations of ERP sync mismatches. Agents propose; people approve.
Brand marketing and agency collaboration
Agencies, PR firms and creative partners work inside AccelerateNPI with role-based access to the products they support. Creative briefs, unique selling propositions (USPs), unique competitive advantages (UCVs) and messaging hierarchies live on the product record, and every launch asset is versioned, routed for approval and linked to the SKU: press releases, media galleries, display and paid social, pre-roll and long-form video, OTT and connected TV spots, retail media, sell sheets and training content.
Coming soon: brag sheets built directly from approved engineering specifications, turning each spec into features and benefits and flagging the USPs and UCVs.
Integrations
Two-way ERP sync at gate sign-off with a nightly mismatch report, and a never-overwrite feed to your PIM, for SAP, NetSuite, Dynamics 365, Sage, Infor, Epicor, Acumatica, Salsify, Akeneo, Inriver, Syndigo, Pimcore, Stibo and more.
Change history and launch analytics
Every change, on record. Every launch, smarter.
Sampling is where products take shape and data changes most. AccelerateNPI records every change to specs, attributes and costs with who made it, the value before and after, and when. AI analyzes that history to show which categories, vendors or approval steps cause the most rework and delay.
Illustrative change log.
Security and data ownership
Run it on your own servers or cloud, or let us host it for you.
SSO and MFA, role-based and item-level permissions.
Encryption in transit and at rest.
A history of who, or which agent, changed what.
