Demographics and market research may predict THE next big trend, but how do you make it actionable?

How do you outpace your competition, claim the stake in the market, and ensure viability?

DevEX’s Product Development module enables corporations to collaborate more effectively with each other, their formula database, and the data within their enterprise.  Beyond the collaboration, the Product Development tool equips them with a unique set of tools that allows them to deftly control the speed and accuracy of product development.

One critical aspect, seamless integration with the Regulatory Compliance module ensures that developers have continual access to compliance analysis throughout development.

In addition to analysis, developers can also access distinctive views and organization tools to keep the formula/recipe in perspective (ex: recipe stage visualization for a graphical overview, compare and contrast by constraints, formula within a formula, or view against defined product requirements).

Beyond views and analysis, developers can most certainly speed things along with two definitive toolsets—rapid prototyping and optimization.  While very different, both rely upon defined constraints and both utilize a complex set of calculations to quickly return a (re)defined formulation in a matter of seconds vs. days (or in some cases weeks).

Features:

• Experiment and Trial Management to organize and visualize all development activities with an unlimited number of experiments and associated trials (each with its own unique automatically generated id code)
• Multiple Units of Measure
• Ingredient and Formulation Search
• Configurable Formula Views
• Rapid Prototyping: Calculate to a Target and What If Scenarios
• Automatic Regulatory Alerts through continual analysis of materials for selected regions
• Multiple Formula Types
• Multiple Formula View (compare and contrast multiple formulas)
• Where Used Search
• Full traceability and audit trail
• Formula locking
• Alternate formulas
• Continually updated Material List
• Instantly viewable Formula Analysis
• Visibility to the original product specifications throughout development
• Optimize formulas to meet a target against a defined set of constraints
• Least cost formulas
• Ensure compliance by defining compliance constraints
