AI Inside Your Workflow

AI-Ready Architecture

Built on the cloud from day one, Propel is the only platform that combines a unified product thread with natively integrated AI, empowering governed intelligence across every product, quality, and commercial decision.

Enterprise AI Stalls with Legacy PLM and QMS
The problem isn't your AI strategy. It's the architecture underneath it. Legacy PLM and QMS vendors are bolting AI onto architectures never designed for it. Siloed systems, disparate data models, and inconsistent user-level controls cause enterprise AI to fail before it delivers value.
Fragmented Systems
AI is only as good as the software it supports. When product, quality, and commercial software are siloed, AI can't reason across the full product thread or drive workflows across different teams.
Bolted-On Intelligence
Legacy PLM and QMS layer AI onto their platforms rather than integrate AI with their platforms. The result: limited context, limited workflows, and limited configurations for AI. This type of AI is constrained by limited insights and actions.
Limited User-level Guardrails
Bolted-on AI can struggle to follow user-level access and controls, creating a risk that users or entire groups could use AI to access data or create workflows beyond granted permissions.
Intelligence Embedded by Design

With Propel, product, quality, and commercial data share one governed data model, so every AI agent inherits full context immediately— structured, trusted, and ready to act.

Connect Data, Teams, and Workflows
Design, product, quality, and marketing data on one platform. AI works across the full product thread, connecting every team, every workflow, and every decision from concept to customer.
AI Governance Down to the User Level
AI is woven directly into workflows so agents act within existing permission structures and governance rules with full auditability at every step.
Enterprise Data Security
With zero data retention, data masking, and field-level security, your IP never trains someone else's model and every AI interaction is fully auditable.
Chat with Your Product Data
Propel's MCP server connects your unified product thread to any AI client, so users can quickly request information and execute tasks.
AI Embedded at Every Layer
Natively integrated AI, governed from platform to user.

AI That Safeguards Your Business

Propel's AI is underpinned by the Salesforce Trust Layer, so every interaction is governed, every data point is protected, and your IP never leaves your control.

VISIT TRUST CENTER

Permission-Aware AI

AI agents only access data the user is authorized to see. User and group-level permission sets apply to every interaction.

Zero Data Retention

Your data is never stored or used to train external LLMs. Every AI interaction is governed by your existing security policies.

Data Masking

Automatic data masking and field-level security ensure AI only accesses what it's authorized to see, at every layer.

Full Audit Trails

Every AI action is logged and traceable, giving manufacturers the compliance visibility their regulators and teams demand.

FAQ
How does Propel One stand apart from other enterprise AI solutions?
Most enterprise AI sits outside your business systems and reasons against whatever data it can reach. Propel One is embedded directly within your workflows, so every agent action is automatically governed by your existing approval chains, user and group permission sets, and business rules. The AI knows what each person is allowed to see and do before it acts. That's only possible because the intelligence and the data model share the same platform, and it's the thing legacy vendors cannot replicate without rebuilding from the ground up. Explore Propel One.
What is agentic AI?
Most PLM AI runs on Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), indexing snapshots of your data into a separate system. By the time you ask about an open change order or a supplier's compliance status, the answer may already be stale. Furthermore, RAG is read-only: it can summarize, but it can't act.

Propel MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot directly to live product records through a permissioned interface so answers come from the actual record, governed by the same security and permissions already configured in Propel.

And unlike other offerings, Propel MCP works both ways: AI clients reach into Propel for live data, and Propel One agents reach out to ERP, procurement, and supplier systems to pull external context back into product decisions.
What is MCP, and why does it matter for manufacturers?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI agents connect to enterprise systems—PLM, QMS, ERP, supplier portals, and more—without custom integrations for every connection. Propel's MCP server means your product data is accessible from any MCP-enabled AI client today: use Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot to query Propel data, trigger change orders, and act across your systems in a single conversational thread. Explore Propel MCP.
How does Propel’s AI architecture ensure data privacy?
The Propel platform, including its AI, adheres to strict data governance principles. Your data remains fully private, is never retained for external AI training, and is governed by your existing security policies. AI-driven automation happens within a secure, enterprise-grade environment with full auditability at every step. Learn More.
Which AI tools can connect to Propel through MCP?
Propel MCP supports any MCP-compatible AI client, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot. If your enterprise AI tool supports MCP, it can connect to your live Propel product data with the same security and governance you have configured today.
