Improve performance, knowledge and strengthen competitiveness

Innovation plays a crucial role in the nuclear actions of companies, aware of this situation SISTRADE developed a solution that allows innovation support as a selection of the best ideas. This tool aims to improve performance, knowledge and strengthen competitiveness. This system ensures the monitoring of the idea from the moment it is generated to its implementation because no idea is born perfect, generated information passes through a phase of evaluation/analysis, allowing electing and refining ideas. With practice, this solution will generate a great deal of information implicitly related to the employees’ innovation.

The Idea Management system follows a PDCA (Plan - Do - Check - Act) process and strives for continuous improvement and structures the requirements for its connection with the different phases of this cycle. An important aspect of this tool is the configuration/parameterization which enables total adaptation to the organization, allowing it to have total control of the events.
