What is PALMA Software?

PALMA, a software solution for strategic and data driven product management, helps users gain control over the lifecycle of modular product platforms while also managing configuration. PALMA is a tool to structure, analyze and share market segmentation insight across the organization, so businesses can make decisions on product assortment based on real customer needs.

Modular Product Platforms - Where Company Strategy Meets Product Execution

Developing and maintaining modular product platforms over their lifetime requires a proven methodology and structured approach. PALMA aims to enable this process by providing both business and technical decision-making support. For example, the insight supplied by PALMA aids organizations in making decisions around what technical solutions to use, and how to divide the products into independent modules. The capability applies to mechanics, electronics, and software individually as well as combined in a mechatronic system.

PALMA also creates the structure to understand how each module is linked to your product strategy and how the product platform fulfills the overall company strategy. Operating in this capacity, PALMA answers questions like:
  • What interfaces exist between modules that protect the overall platform?
  • How should performance steps be packaged into commercial offerings?

With PALMA, businesses have tools that guide and document choices, while also helping identify future improvements to the product platform and portfolio. They have access to former product data with the potential to reduce costs by reusing product assets when feasible for the next product generation.



Features include


Design Property Matrix
In any product there are product property specification levels that a company wants to deliver through the product. The DPM explores what technical solutions contribute to deliver this. It gives indications on what solutions need to vary and what solutions can be standradized. It also gives a first view of how these technical solutions can be arranged into a modular architecture.

Concept Evaluation Matrix
Creating a product assortment with as little functional overlap as possible might require some tough decisions. The concept evaluation tool helps a team to reach consensus around which technical concept brings the most customer value.

Function Analysis
In the Functional analysis tool users can analyse what function each technical solution is performing. Alternative or overlapping solutions are documented to find the best way to design the products

Module Strategy Matrix
Set company strategy per module to make it clearly stated which modules should come in variance, should be stable over time, standardized, developed etc.

Module Builder
How to divide the product into modules is not always obvious. The algorithm PALMA generates a proposal based on the profile of each technical solution. The team refines it and the outcome is a new product architecture.

Interface Matrix
The key to configurability, the ability to offer a wide variety of products to the market, is the interfaces. In the interface matrix, these are documented and governed. And this helps to avoid designers breaking an interface by mistake.
