Propel (or PropelPLM) headquartered in Santa Clara offers their Product Lifecycle Management application. Built on Salesforce, Propel is available in varying editions supporting quality management, product information management (PIM), as well as project costing, custom objects & API, product specifications, and various collaboration tools.
A major requirement for us was the ability to have a traditional ECN workflow, with multiple documents changed on the same workflow; most eQMS solutions do not include this capability. That ruled out several solutions for us. We selected Propel primarily because the cost was …
Propel stands out the best among them in terms of cost-benefit ratio. Its UI design, Salesforce features, customer support, complex handles themes, and algorithms are very much according to the standards. Though there are some issues that need to be addressed by Propel soon in …
For Enigineering function, Enovia does well. However, their Project Management could be improved. We have found exporting to MSProject to work and then importing the updates is the best option. However, we would prefer to work directly in the Project Space in the future.
Propel is a solid choice for any company currently using Salesforce and with the ability to manage a configurable system. It would not work well in cases where a company needs a lot of guidance to set up processes the way that they want. It has a fairly intuitive user interface, and adoption for less-tech-savvy employees is straightforward. Economically, it works better for companies with minimal "non-email" users, such as production floor personnel, since all users in the training system will have to have licenses.
When a part/assembly has been released in Enovia and gone for production or downstream processing, Enovia doesn't have much control, hence, Enovia should come up with an easy controlling mechanism for various disposition of parts and seamless communication with an ERP or downstream process.
If a document is linked to thousands of materials then revising this document takes long time gets floated to the BOMs where the previous document versions are used. So, Enovia should have an efficient way to replace the floating process or another efficient mechanism for document revision processing.
When evaluating Enovia as a PLM product the following Enovia stacks came out as a positive feature compared to other PLMs available on the market. 1. User-friendly interface 2. Easy to Integrate with CAD systems for the manufacturing Industry 3. It is quite easy to implement the Interface with ERP/MRP system (like SAP, Oracle manufacturing) 4. Availability of 3rd party ENOVIA -SAP interface and easy to plug in between two systems
Propel stands out the best among them in terms of cost-benefit ratio. Its UI design, Salesforce features, customer support, complex handles themes, and algorithms are very much according to the standards. Though there are some issues that need to be addressed by Propel soon in terms of Preview collaboration and variant management. Report generation is also one area that needs to be taken care of.
