Propel, creator of the first product value management (PVM) platform to transform how businesses create, market, sell, and service products, today announced availability of its Summer 2025 release. The second of three major software releases in 2025 delivers robust automation to customers with seamless workflows that streamline daily tasks for faster, more efficient processes, and better-informed decision making.
Propel’s Summer release makes it easier to address Notifications by applying a user-driven focus, with alerts delivered into daily workstreams such as Slack to heighten collaboration and ensure real-time, expedited response times. Its easy-to-use Notifications app reduces complexity giving users a single place to monitor notification needs, troubleshoot issues, and keep track of activity. Users can quickly add or remove recipients for specific actions and access a clear log of all messages sent.
“At Propel we are consistently analyzing market needs and consulting with customers to influence future capabilities,” said Eric Schrader, Chief Product Officer, Propel. “Our Summer release prioritizes delivering value in tools where our customers already work so they can take action without leaving their current workflow, increasing business efficiency and productivity.“
Propel’s templatized lifecycle phases meet customer needs by automating current workflows, eliminating time-consuming customization so that users can focus on strategic priorities. Providing continuous approvers and groupings throughout the process, product companies are able to tap experts when and where needed to prevent time-consuming rework of change orders each time an approver is added.
Propel’s Admin Audit Trail gives enterprises clear visibility into key changes, helping to track governance around upgrades, process changes, and compliance-related actions. Its low code/no code platform enables users to rapidly adapt to changing business regulations by easily modifying existing applications, or creating new ones. Ensuring smooth organizational maintenance, new capabilities track all lifecycle updates and approval criteria, while monitoring changes related to categories.
Propel also expanded Component Insights reporting. Powered by SiliconExpert – a leading global provider of supply chain insights – Propel’s new integrated reports and dashboards proactively alert users to component issues for real-time decision making, aiding product design, quality, supply chain, and production. Example reports include: parts not synced, number of distributors by part, and approved manufacturers list (AML) with Silicon Expert risk grade.
