Propel is most important to me since it enhances coherence and order in product operations. All tasks and updates are connected with the responsible team member, and the high feature base provides efficient progress monitoring and recording the decisions. The regular usage has made it the core of keeping all teams in the right track and regular usage makes sure that tasks, approval and updates are done in time. This has enhanced coordination and errors in our product lifecycle have been minimized.

The most important feature I think, is the workflow visibility; I can clearly see who is next in line, who has already completed approval of a certain item, etc. and who is dragging their feet. Before we were using a system of files everywhere, and we never knew which version of anything was current, and it was always a huge headache. Being cloud-based allows me to access it via my phone while I am on the floor, or when I’m away from my desk, which I thought I would never end up doing, but I do. At the end of a long day, I’m simply happy that we are no longer wasting time finding duplicate files, and figuring out which version of something we should be using.

I find Propel to be very useful once you're trained and know the ins and outs of it. It's very easy to use and provides good alerts. We use it for tracking expirations of equipment and calibrations, which helps us stay in compliance and make sure tools are ready at the right time. It also alerts us when deviations expire. This email alert system is more efficient than a calendar system because it lets us know when a calibration is about to expire so we can schedule accordingly and keep records up to date.
