Our client runs a US-based startup with years of experience in the chemical industry aimed to develop a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system tailored to the industry’s needs. The goal was to streamline the approval process and improve operational efficiency.
The client required a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for PLM, focusing on automating approvals and optimizing collaboration across departments. The system needed to support multi-step approvals, ensuring smooth product development. Each department had specific inputs to validate before the next phase, requiring a structured and transparent workflow.
We designed a scalable MVP solution with an intuitive user interface that simplified approval processes. The system enabled seamless cross-department collaboration and minimized manual interventions. A hybrid solution was implemented to handle multi-stage approvals, ensuring a structured and efficient approach to product lifecycle management.
