# Propel Reviews & Product Details

Visit Website

Propel helps product companies grow revenue and increase business value with a unified platform that delivers PLM, QMS, PIM, and supplier management capabilities—all powered by embedded AI. Our solution connects commercial and product teams with a single, continuous product thread that accelerates decision-making, drives process efficiencies, and empowers teams to deliver compelling products and experiences across all customer touchpoints. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM): Propel PLM delivers practical, embedded AI that enhances everyday product and quality workflows with real-world use cases—accelerating change reviews, summarizing complex product records, identifying BOM and quality risks, and guiding users with context-aware insights. Built for modern enterprises, our PLM supports complex product structures, global teams, and regulated environments without sacrificing usability. Quality Management System (QMS): Propel QMS is a complete, enterprise-grade standalone solution that can be deployed independently with all core modules included out-of-the-box—CAPA, Complaints, NCMR, Audits, Deviations, Training, Equipment Calibration, and Supplier Quality. Purpose-built for medical device manufacturers, our cloud-native eQMS reduces validation burden with comprehensive documentation packages (FDA 21 CFR Part 820 & Part 11, ISO 13485:2016, EU MDR) and delivers measurable results including 100% audit pass rates and 8-week rapid deployment. Product Information Management (PIM): Propel PIM is a purpose-built solution that centralizes product data, attributes, and digital assets into a single, trusted system of record—designed to support complex product catalogs and fast-moving go-to-market teams. With Propel One AI embedded directly into the platform, PIM becomes an intelligent, automated system that enriches product information, identifies missing or inconsistent attributes, and summarizes complex product data using trusted, governed sources—accelerating content readiness and maintaining consistency across channels while requiring no dependencies on PLM, ERP, or commerce platforms. Supplier Community: Propel's Supplier Community enables secure, authenticated user access for external suppliers with role-based permissions that protect IP while enabling efficient collaboration on parts, BOMs, quality records, and projects. Launch faster by directly connecting suppliers to internal engineering, quality, and operations teams in a shared workspace, eliminating handoff delays and reducing miscommunication—all without requiring Salesforce. Propel has a proven track record of improving product quality, accelerating time to revenue, and increasing customer satisfaction. Recognized multiple times as a Deloitte Technology Fast 500 winner, Propel drives product success for hyper-growth startups, corporate pioneers, and Fortune 500 leaders in the high-tech, medtech, and consumer goods industries.

"Propel has been much more than a PLM for us. "

4.5/5

What do you like best about Propel?

The flexibility is what most impresses me about the tool. You can create Custom layouts, workflows, Views. The Audit trail feature is a must for a medical device company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

I would say the training material. It is difficult to find help guides on more detail topics. That said the support team is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propel:

If you want a one stop shop for managing most of, if not all your manufacturing / quality records Propel does the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Well, it is our PLM. We also use it to manage the following artifacts and records:

Design History File (DHF)

Risk Management File

Usability File

Device History Records (DHR)

Full Supplier Management Process

Tool Qualifications

Device Master Record (DMR)

Complaint Management & Recall management

What do you like best about Propel?

Archiving documents in one place, it very helped employees in keeping documentation. BOM - project management system - a big plus is that it works in the cloud. Propel is very easy to adapt to the company's needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

The large complexity of the system, even the experienced employees have a problem with some functionalities in the propel. There are no applications for the mobile phone, and the mobile version of the site looks very poor and is not functional. The system is not very intuitive, the graphic design is outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propel:

Put more emphasis on training employees from using Propel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems solving with propel:

- dealing with items in company

5/5

What do you like best about Propel?

The most helpful element of Propel is the ability to search on any field and category, and some form of a result will appear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

Propel, at times, can be a bit weird to maneuver around and customize, as customization definitely feels like taking a thousand steps to get one customization implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propel:

Keep up the good work, it surely is enjoyable to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propel solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Propel?

Version control management for sku's that have repeated parts across multiple sku's. It's important we know what version of the products we are building and propel is our tool that manages this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I would recommend Propel to any size company"

5/5

What do you like best about Propel?

The best thing about Propel is the intuitive user interface. It was not only extremely easy to set-up and learn, but it has been extremely easy to teach new users and on-board new employees. We have quickly populated Propel with data and began the process of controlling all of our documents and Bill of Materials in just a few short months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

There is very little that I do not like about Propel. Our team has had great success with usage and integration into our process. The main dislike is in regards to the Propel Zendesk website for getting help with problems. It is very difficult to search and find answers, however when I email Propel Support, I am quickly steered to an answer by the salesforce team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propel:

This is a more modern, very easy-to-use version of other more established PLM softwares. Be open to changing to Propel because it has great capabilities as a cloud and phone based PLM system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propel solving and how is that benefiting you?

The primary business problem we solved with Propel was implementing a document management and document control system for our specifications, artwork and Bill of Materials. We had a strong need to store our documents and route them for approvals and then send the official documents to our manufacturers. Propel allowed us to do this.

What do you like best about Propel?

Easy to locate product information for PLM needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

Would like to be able to update a unit price for a part number in one tab called, Pricing. One direct and central location to make costs updates. Would also like the export of BOM XCL to be cleaner as we currently have to go comb through the export and format as needed, and sometimes correct the top down BOM Cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propel:

The support team is very willing and easy to work with. Also, the tutorial materials they have available are great resources to learn from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propel solving and how is that benefiting you?

PLM all together. We didn't have a clear process in the past for our PLM cycle. We have been able to communicate engineering changes efficiently, which helps with our purchasing processes as well. Also, it has provided a leaner communication process to our BD team as the sales team can see current product costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Propel?

Propel is easy to use. It integrates with Salesforce and internal systems, like Microsoft SQL server. I like that it's accessible via the standard Salesforce API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

I'd like more robust reporting and to customize the display. Better support for importing data via excel, not just CSV. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propel:

Export your data into Excel prior to implementing Propel. This will speed up the implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propel solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Great Customer Service!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Propel?

Propel is an intuitive and easy-to-learn system. The customizability and flexibility of the system is great, but what I really love the most about Propel is their great customer service. I'm able to reach out at any time and reach a full staff of knowledgeable individuals who provide me everything from links to learn things on my own, webinars and demos to watch, or step by step instructions on exactly what I need to do. As someone who is learning the Salesforce platform and PLM systems for the first time simultaneously, this has been a great resource for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

There are a few cases we've run into where there are not quite enough controls in place to support our needed quality regulations and specifications. We've always been able to find work-arounds, but sometimes it would be nice to have a clear solution for those sorts of issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Propel provided us with a much more intuitive and easier to use PLM system than our previous solution. We have seen review times decrease for our change orders , which is a huge positive in our industry. We plan to integrate more of our Quality Management System into Propel as well, which will also help to cut down on unnecessary manual documentation and processes that slow down work times and make us less efficient than we can be.

"Steep learning curve but definite long term results"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Propel?

We have multiple facets to our business from design and manufacturing to marketing. We are able to use Propel as a one-stop shop to take care of BOMs, approval of documents and storage of important files with a known approval status and history. Files can be kept together - for instance Word, Illustrator and PDF files of the same document (the draft, the page layout and the releasable version) are easily bunched together so that version control and later editing is pretty seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propel?

The learning curve is quite steep and some of the functions are non-intuitive, (although perhaps less so for people with a Salesforce background.)

I don't like the sense when I know a document is in the system but for some reason I can't find it in a search. This may be because I am searching in the wrong way, but nevertheless it is frustrating. In one case I think I could not find a document until it had been exploded out of the BOM that wrapped it. This is not a useful search as I may know a document (an image in this case) exists, but not know where it resides - hence the search.

My other main gripe is that an approval request requires too many clicks. I would like to receive the request via email and with one click open the document to be approved. Instead there is a series of 6 or 7 clicks, each with a few seconds dwell, before I have the actual document open before me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propel:

Get training in small chunks and do the initial training multiple times until you have really got the basics. Ask the dumb questions. It's easy to become lost even after one successful training session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propel solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had poor document version control and rapidly ballooning manufacturing and inventory management issues. Propel has proven to solve these issues for the most part. In some cases the most senior people can't be convinced to become adept at using the system, and certainly the large number of clicks to find the item for approval is a stumbling block here. But to the extent that most staff use the system we have solved these two quite distinct and major issues in the one tool, which is very satisfying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
