Case Study: FlexGen achieves scalable production and faster product launches with Propel

Delivering Game-Changing Hybrid Power Products

FlexGen, a maker of advanced software and power electronics for hybrid power systems, was shifting from a bespoke, project‑based model to a platform strategy to scale production to more than a hundred power storage units per year. To coordinate engineers, suppliers and customers across many designs they needed a modern Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system, but worried about the heavy deployment, custom development and IT support typical of traditional PLM solutions.

FlexGen selected Propel’s PLM (built on the Salesforce platform) to provide a cloud‑native, easy‑to‑use system; Propel was deployed in under three weeks and users were productive after a short two‑hour training. Propel enabled threaded design discussions, reusable platform components, and direct supplier access, delivering higher engineering productivity, increased user adoption, faster time‑to‑market, improved scalability and lower IT overhead.
