Productization

On a product level, productization is everything that happens from that the product idea is born to the decision to abandon the product. On a company level, productization is comprehensive product portfolio management. Productization links product amounts, pricing, features and target markets together. Thanks to this, the company can consistently develop products that meet the market needs and differentiate from the competitors’ products. We can help you with part of the productization or develop it comprehensively.
