What is Propel?
About Propel
What do you like best about Propel?
Propel is a very configurable solution that we have been able to tailor very nicely to our unique needs and to create workflows and data structures to support and facilitate our business processes. Having all the functionality of a QMS and PLM in a single solution provides great data continuity across the solution. Further, having it built on Salesforce allows for a customer-centric QMS/PLM if Salesforce CRM is also used. This is very unique and just how a QMS/PLM should be.
What do you dislike about Propel?
The configurability of Propel is a bit of a double-edged sword. It is a great strength but does require the user community and IT admin at a company to really think through what is being built to ensure it is appropriate and scalable. The only core part of Propel we have found lacking is the training module. Propel offers read and understand training to documents with a quiz but is not a full blown LMS solution with engaging training content or SCORM capabilities.
What problems is Propel solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Propel to manage our Document Control and PLM, Complaints and Adverse Event reporting, Calibration and Maintenance of Equipment, CAPA & NC, Supplier Management, Read & Understand training, and audit management.
