Everything a new product needs, in one place.

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.

Vendor 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.
