Everything your team needs to bring products to market

See every launch in one pipeline

See every launch, reformulation, packaging change and plant improvement in one portfolio instead of scattered spreadsheets. When lab and line capacity is tight, you can compare what is in flight, spot the launches competing for the same resource and reschedule before two projects collide on one deadline.

Fund the product ideas worth funding

Score each product idea on business value, launch risk and fit with strategy, so the pipeline fills with launches that earn their place, not the ones argued loudest in the room. Every idea carries a shared business case, and the portfolio committee reviews a ranked list rather than a pile of opinions.

Track recipes, packaging and specs as deliverables

Recipes, packaging artwork, labels and specification sheets are tracked as project deliverables, each with an owner, a template and a due date tied to the launch plan. Nothing waits forgotten in an inbox, every version is traceable, and the launch is only done when each deliverable is signed off.

Reuse a proven launch playbook

Start each launch, reformulation or pack change from a template that already holds the phases, gate milestones, typical risks and deliverables. A new NPD project is ready in minutes rather than days, every team works to the same standard, and hard-won lessons are not lost between one launch and the next.

One timeline from lab to shelf

Put R&D, quality and regulatory, packaging, procurement, marketing and production on one schedule with clear owners and milestones. When a stability test slips or a supplier runs late, the effect on the launch date shows at once, so you can rebook the work before the go-live date is at risk.

project charter

Start every product with a solid business case

Each new product begins with a project charter that captures the idea, expected value, budget and success measures in one place. Instead of a launch driven by whoever argues hardest, the committee compares like-for-like charters and backs the products worth the shelf space, and the charter keeps evolving as the project moves through its gates.

See the whole launch on one Gantt chart

A Gantt chart lays out the entire launch as one timeline: every task, dependency and milestone across R&D, packaging, regulatory and production. When one date moves, the knock-on effect shows down the chain at once, so you can rebook the work and protect the go-live date instead of finding out about the slip weeks later.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best food and beverage manufacturing software for managing projects?

FlexiProject is a project and portfolio management (PPM) system for food and beverage manufacturers that runs the project side of the business: new product development, launches, reformulations, packaging changes and plant improvements. It sits alongside your ERP, MES or PLM rather than replacing them, adding a stage-gate NPD process, portfolio scoring and one shared schedule from lab to shelf. It suits manufacturers that run many launches at once and need a single, reliable view of the pipeline.

Can FlexiProject manage many product launches at the same time?

Yes. FlexiProject gives you one portfolio view of every launch, reformulation and packaging change in flight, so you can see which products compete for the same lab, line or specialist and rebalance the plan before deadlines collide. Each project keeps its own schedule, budget and risks, while management sees the whole pipeline and its health at a glance, with no manual stitching together of spreadsheets.

Does FlexiProject support a stage-gate process for new product development?

Yes, and it is one of the main reasons food and beverage manufacturers choose it. Every launch can follow a stage-gate flow with a formal Go, No-Go or Hold decision at the end of each phase. At each gate the committee reviews the updated recipe cost, risks, test results and business case before releasing the next phase, so investment keeps flowing only to products that still make sense. Every decision is archived with its rationale for a clear audit trail.

How does FlexiProject help with compliance and audits in food production?

Compliance work is planned into the launch rather than tracked on the side. Safety checks, specifications, documentation and regulatory approvals sit on the same schedule as formulation and packaging, each with an owner, a deadline and a sign-off. Because every gate decision and deliverable is recorded, you keep a complete history of who approved what and when, which makes audits and retailer or authority requests far easier to answer.

Is FlexiProject available in multiple languages and on mobile?

Yes. The FlexiProject interface is available in 28 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Polish, with user documentation in 11 languages, so international teams can work in their own language. A companion mobile app lets people view assigned tasks, change their status, and add comments and attachments such as photos and documents, so progress can be updated from the lab, the production floor or on the move.
