Workflow Features

Innovit NPI workflow management is a platform for managing processes that involve multiple steps and stakeholders such as New Product Development (NPD) and New Product Introduction (NPI). These processes are defined by activities that require collaboration between many people across different departments. Within the Innovit Workflow Management application, business users can design their NPD and NPI processes through a graphical drag-and drop interface. For each process, staff collaboration is systematically managed, communication is automated and task sequencing is controlled. Key milestones including task progress and project status are carefully monitored and reported graphically to stakeholders. This provides full visibility and assurance that every product launch is delivered in a controlled manner. It also provides organisations with the foundation to evaluate internal business processes and eliminate bottlenecks for continuous improvement.
