Propel is a modern, AI-powered cloud platform built for how manufacturers work today. It unifies Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Quality Management System (QMS), and Product Information Management (PIM) into one intelligent system, giving teams a connected, always-accurate view of their products. With AI embedded across the platform through Propel One, manufacturers can automate routine work, surface insights faster, and make better decisions with confidence. AI continuously learns from product data to proactively flag risks, highlight trends, and guide next best actions across teams. Instead of relying on spreadsheets, siloed tools, and manual handoffs, teams manage product data, changes, and quality processes in a single governed environment with full traceability. Propel creates a true digital product record that spans design, development, manufacturing, commercialization, and continuous improvement. Built-in workflows standardize change management, streamline quality events, and support compliance without slowing teams down. Trusted by medical device, high tech, and industrial manufacturers, Propel helps organizations reduce errors, shorten cycle times, and improve collaboration across engineering, quality, operations, supply chain, and product teams. The result is faster launches, higher product quality, and a more resilient foundation for growth as products and processes become more complex. Propel has been recognized by Deloitte as a fast-growing technology company and named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies, reflecting strong customer adoption and momentum helping manufacturers modernize how they build, manage, and deliver products. Designed to scale with growing products, teams, and regulatory demands.

AlisQI is a cloud-based Quality Management platform built for process and batch manufacturers who want to move beyond reactive firefighting toward stable, predictable operations while maintaining full compliance control. Rather than organizing quality around static documents and isolated events, AlisQI was designed as a data-first system. Quality, laboratory, and production data are structured and connected in a shared operational backbone. This gives cross-functional teams early visibility into deviations, faster response times, and greater confidence in product integrity and daily execution. The platform combines configurable quality modules, including document control, training, deviations, CAPA, audits, risk management, supplier quality, SPC, and EHS, with targeted, ready-to-use Solvers. Solvers integrate forms, workflows, dashboards, and business logic to address specific operational problems without unnecessary scope. Because the system is built on structured data, manufacturers can apply practical AI within workflows, from automated COA extraction to conversational access to quality data and pattern detection across incidents. Solvers are production-ready from day one and evolve as processes, products, or plants change. This progression does not require custom development or disruptive IT projects. Manufacturers use AlisQI to harmonize quality practices across sites, reduce waste and rework, strengthen audit readiness, accelerate root cause analysis, and connect shop-floor and lab data directly to quality decision-making across industries including chemicals, plastics, packaging, food and beverage, personal care, automotive, and industrial manufacturing.

Qualio is a purpose-built quality and compliance platform for life sciences companies operating in complex, high-stakes regulatory environments. Medical device, SaMD, biotech, and pharma teams use Qualio to replace fragmented eQMS tools, spreadsheets, and consultant-driven audits with a single, validated system that delivers continuous audit and inspection readiness. Qualio combines a modern eQMS with Compliance Intelligence—an AI-driven layer that continuously evaluates how well real operating data aligns with regulatory requirements. Instead of treating audits as one-off events, teams gain always-on visibility into compliance coverage, risk exposure, and readiness across FDA, ISO, EU MDR, GxP, and software-intensive standards. Core quality workflows—document control, training, CAPA, change management, supplier quality, and design controls—are directly connected to regulatory obligations and objective evidence. Deep integrations with Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, TestRail, and Salesforce automatically capture proof from development and operational systems, eliminating manual evidence gathering and reducing compliance drag on engineering teams. Compliance Intelligence runs multi-standard gap analysis in under an hour, flags emerging risks before they become findings or 483s, and maps reusable evidence across frameworks to accelerate submissions and market expansion. All insights are explainable and traceable back to specific clauses and internal policies, supporting validation and audit expectations. The result: audit readiness in weeks instead of months, fewer fire drills, faster launches, and lower long-term compliance cost. Qualio turns compliance from a reactive burden into a predictable, scalable system.
