Our team visits several manufacturing, distribution and retail companies to explore their supply chain operations and identify pains and problems they have. Other product ideas come from industry research and our team’s experience.

We call the companies that participate in the initial feedback loop and prototype usage our Innovation Partners.
Our Innovation Partners are critical to helping us determine valuable ways to invest in R&D – which is a whopping 15% of our software sales revenue – and bring great innovations to market.
