Research and Development (R&D)
Idea Management

Jenni innovation process management software is especially suited for research and development teams in manufacturing firms of all kinds.

If you are nibbling on a package of snack food, it is possible that the idea behind that product, and even the packaging itself, started life as an idea on Jenni. That's because the research and development unit of a global snack food manufacturer has used Jenni to develop new product and packaging ideas.

But they are not alone. Other food manufacturers, chemical manufacturers and heavy machinery makers have used Jenni to devise new products, new packaging and new process ideas in order to keep give their products and services an unfair innovation advantage over the competition.

Unlike suggestion box tools, Jenni uses a defined process based on creative problem solving (CPS) to focus creative idea generation on specific problems or goals. So, for example, if you need healthy food product ideas, suggestions on improving manufacturing processes or ideas about how better to package perishable products, Jenni allows you to challenge colleagues to suggest relevant ideas in a collaborative environment. Moreover, Jenni's clustering and evaluation tools allow you to combine similar ideas and rate them according to business criteria, ensuring you identify the ideas with the greatest commercial potential.

Moreover, you do not need to limit idea generation, collaboration and evaluation to employees in your firm. Because Jenni is web based, you can invite business partners, suppliers and even customers to participate in your idea management initiative. Indeed, our clients often do!

R&D people tell us they really like Jenni's logical approach to innovation (which reflects their own scientific approach) and the simplicity with which Jenni enables them to call for ideas, build them collaboratively and evaluate them.
