NPI for Manufacturing
Swift & steady wins the race to market
If you’re a manufacturer, you understand that your sector is undergoing profound changes caused by shifting consumer demographics, disruptive business models, new technology and small, agile market entrants. To survive in this dynamic world, you must deliver new products at unprecedented speed and scale – and that can be challenging when you run your operations using SAP ERP.
Complex, data-intensive SAP processes are often the bottleneck keeping manufacturers from competing with more agile companies – in fact, spreadsheets, email, and even paper forms are still a dominant method of data collection and management that companies use for product data outside of their SAP systems. And the problems with these systems are often compounded by slow, manual SAP data management processes which lead to poor data quality, a lack of governance and higher business risks.
In this rapidly changing landscape, every day in your launch cycle counts – and automating slow, manual processes can be the difference between your product’s success and failure. With the Precisely Automate platform, we help you swiftly get product data into your SAP system, and automate all critical tasks in between the “go” from research and development, to the product launch.

Getting data right the first time
While it’s clear that the need to get your products to market faster is critical, optimizing and automating all the SAP processes associated with launching and manufacturing your products also needs to be a top priority.
You make critical decisions based on the product data entered into your SAP ERP system during your launch process, so that data has to be right the first time. To make this as efficient as possible, our Automate Evolve automation platform helps you optimize the process where the right stakeholders check and approve data before it hits your SAP systems. You’ll also be able to utilize automated data validation and error-flagging capabilities that improve data quality.
Remaining competitive is key for dynamic industries. You need to create launch processes that effortlessly flex and scale with your changing business. Automated launch processes can easily be set up to launch product variants, or meet different plant or regional needs, ensuring that you don’t lose ground to more nimble competitors.
We’ll help you build dashboards that give you process visibility that helps you quickly determine how your launch is progressing, and give you the power to drill down into the details to find problem areas and reallocate resources to meet deadlines. It’s time to make the move from chaos to predictability.
