Reduce touchpoints.
Every manual interaction should have a reason. If Planisware can reliably perform the work, people should not have to.

BUILT FROM THE CUSTOMER SIDE
Planisware expertise grounded in actually operating it.
Velocity NPD was built from years of hands-on experience owning, configuring, and evolving Planisware inside a global consumer-products organization.
That perspective extends beyond configuration. We understand what project managers need, what cross-functional teams will actually use, what administrators can maintain, and what portfolio leaders need to make decisions.

One connected process. Supported end to end.
Velocity NPD can support the process, governance, information model, and Planisware configuration from early idea intake through project planning, Stage-Gate, cross-functional execution, commercialization readiness, launch coordination, and in-market visibility.
SIGNATURE OPERATING MODEL
Move the work to the team, not back through the PM.
Use Planisware's scheduling engine to coordinate execution while project managers focus on orchestration, risk, and decisions.
→
70+
In one high-volume NPD environment, this model successfully supported project managers overseeing 70+ concurrent projects.
That is not a universal staffing target. It demonstrates what becomes possible when the system manages coordination instead of relying on the PM to manually carry every interaction.
OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
Design the system around the decisions that matter.
Keep resourcing practical.
Useful capacity information does not always require detailed timecards. Collect only the information you intend to use.
Automate the routine.
Use system logic, workflow, and scheduling to handle repeatable activity so teams can focus on judgment.
Design for execution.
A technically correct configuration has little value if users avoid it. Processes must work for the people delivering the product.
CPG & FMCG
Built for fast-moving product organizations.
High project counts, packaging changes, renovations, line extensions, supply-chain dependencies, commercialization requirements, and constant portfolio movement require a different operating model than low-volume project environments.

LET'S TALK
Planisware should make product development easier.
If teams are spending too much time maintaining the system, routing information manually, or working around the process, there is probably a better way.
