Selerant announces the release of version 3.3 of its product life cycle management software DevEX, incorporating innovative user-centric developments that reinforce and extend the functionality, utility and usability of the application.
Within the labeling module, Selerant extends the functionality to include multi-pack labeling based on reuse of existing source labels developed for individually packaged products. This feature can be used for labeling a carton box containing several identical units, thereby making the process more efficient and less error-prone.
For the new Supplier Collaboration Portal, Selerant extended and enhanced workflow management features to monitor progress of tasks between client and supplier users. In addition, the portal now provides the possibility to log and trace emails. Significant usability updates focus on improved questionnaire template creation and management as well as the provision of extensive online help for all users.
DevEX 3.3 also includes noteworthy updates within the Document Management module, including improved object tagging and full-text search functionality for both Oracle and MSSQL databases and more user-friendly search result management. In particular, the module now provides the ability to create and manage document mark-up and annotations inside of the application—removing the need to use external mark-up tools.
Innovation Process Management Suite (IPMS) is a comprehensive solution to manage the new product development and introduction processes. DevEX v3.3 introduces the concept of project gate-scoring, a best practice for the phase-gate workflow as well as improved portfolio dashboard capabilities. A new Project Portfolio Management Summary Report enables project transparency and accountability.
In the Environmental Health and Safety module (HazEX), the v3.3 release presents a much-improved user experience. For example, users can now assign single country GHS Classifications to all other country authorities.
