挑战

Owl Cameras, known for their Owl Car Cam, was experiencing rapid growth and needed a scalable solution to manage their product lifecycle. They were using spreadsheets, shared DropBox folders, and Jira, which were not sufficient for their expanding needs. The complexity of their product, which combines elements of a phone into a sophisticated industrial design, required a more robust and intuitive tool for managing engineering change orders (ECOs) and bills of materials (BOMs). With 20-30 team members working on the product, they needed full control over the product development process to handle frequent changes and updates efficiently.

解决方案

Owl Cameras chose Propel's modern, intuitive PLM platform built on Salesforce to manage their product lifecycle. Propel offers a cloud-based platform that provides flexibility and frequent software updates, making it easier for users to navigate and configure. The decision to go with Propel was influenced by its integration with Salesforce, which allows Owl to have the entire Salesforce ecosystem at their disposal. This integration will enable them to move customer service and other departments into Salesforce, creating a unified system for managing all aspects of their business. The implementation process was smooth, with Propel uploading their Excel spreadsheets to get them up and running quickly. Training employees and vendors on the new system was also straightforward, thanks to Propel's user-friendly interface.
