MedTech News: How Propel's PIM software could affect medtech

December 28, 2022

"Having a cloud-based product and quality platform, enables med device companies to keep business continuity by staying seamlessly connected between manufacturing teams, third-party logistics, and their supply chain partners."

The online source for news in medical device and innovation, MedTech News, published a feature about Propel's product information management (PIM) platform with regard to its value for medtech companies in particular.

"Supplier management is one of the critical processes, especially today with risks of availability, off-shoring, and increased costs.

With inventory knowledge at all times, companies can pivot to avoid having to make stop shipping decisions."
