Prodika

Competitive advantage stems from your organization's ability to quickly respond to customers' needs and changing markets by rapidly prototyping, collaborating, and engineering performance and value into your products. Prodika's Design Workbench (DWB) enables companies to design, test, and optimize new formulations that increase consumer satisfaction, lower costs, and increase profits.

Business Benefits

Enable marketing and product development teams to optimize formulations based on both consumer preferences and least cost formulation
Streamline design, development, and costing activities through online collaboration
Gain valuable experience before entering the high spend phases of product development
Increase your organization's ability to socialize new product concepts and pursue new opportunities through rationalized experimentation

Key Capabilities

Multi-Objective Optimization	Allows multiple application of least cost formulation, consumer preference, and quality characteristics for use in formula optimization
Real-time Analysis	Product properties, nutrients, and compliance data are calculated in real-time
Closed-Loop Design	Support for user defined scorecards in evaluating experimental outcomes
Integration	Leverages material costing directly from your organization's ERP systems Tightly coupled with Prodika Global Specifications Management for rapid factory-floor documentation
Operational Readiness	Enables comprehensive study of production feasibility and regulatory compliance based on material characteristics and sourcing approval
Labeling	Provides real-time generation of nutrient panels and ingredient statements based on final formulation

Achieving Speed-to-Market

Instant feedback, best-in-class optimization algorithms, and online collaboration means that your organization can quickly respond to customers' needs and changing market conditions. Prodika's DWB helps your organization improve profitability and speed-to-market by streamlining your design process through raw material visibility and rationalized experimentation.


Design Workbench	GUIDED TOUR

Virtual Prototyping

Instant feedback, and the collaborative capability of Prodika's Design Workbench, means that your organization is spending more on product ideas that have already been pre-screened. The Design Workbench leverages information found in other Prodika modules such as Prodika's Global Specifications Management (GSM) and distributed enterprise systems. This powerful toolset enables your organization to unlock the flow of entrepreneurial ideas and foster innovation.

Online Collaboration and Feedback

Understanding the nutritional, compliance, and cost implications of different product formulations is critical to success in new product development. Prodika's Design Workbench provides optimized formulations to meet constraints and objectives. This allows your product developers to create multiple scenarios and virtual prototypes, modeling the behavior of new formulations prior to entering the lab.
