rev™ NPD Acceleration Workflow Solution has been developed specifically for the stage-gate steps used for NPD, NPI and PLM within the CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) and FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) sectors.

Product Development Workflow made simple!

New Product Development (NPD), New Product Introduction (NPI), and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) are crucial product development processes that EVERY brand manufacturer and supplier use.

Never before has the world become more of a global marketplace. With global manufacturing and sourcing programs, and omnichannel sales and marketing, for brand manufacturers to remain successful in the face of maturing products, they need to be more strategic and efficient with their New Product Development (NPD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process.

The Business Challenge

The odds weigh heavily against success for many new products!

• Thousands of new products are presented to the market; only a handful will ever get to the shelf.

• Brand Manufacturers use techniques like category management to understand consumers, markets, as well as competitor products to create strong NPD / NPI retail arguments

• Brand Manufacturers need to develop products that deliver superior value to both customers and the retail category.

• Retailers are under constant pressure to drive product value in their stores. They use the consumer purchase process to drive range, brand, price, and margins.

• Global sourcing allows retailers far greater access to branded and private label products. This pushes down the wholesale costs which increase profit margins.
