Narratize

Narratize is a knowledge-orchestration platform built for teams running formal stage-gate new product development processes, primarily in manufacturing-heavy industries such as chemicals, medical devices, aerospace and defense, industrial equipment, consumer packaged goods, energy, and electronics. Rather than replacing existing systems, it sits above tools like PLM, ERP, and CRM software, pulling scattered documentation and expert knowledge into a single Product Knowledge Hub for each product under development. Inside that hub, an AI-powered workspace lets cross-functional teams ask questions, draft technical and market requirement documents, and get answers traced back to their original sources rather than generated from scratch. The platform is aimed at organizations where product knowledge is otherwise siloed across departments and where documentation demands slow down stage-gate reviews — it targets mid-market manufacturers and enterprise divisions, in particular. Narratize also gives leadership portfolio-wide visibility into how programs are progressing through gate reviews, and updates records automatically as work moves forward, aiming to preserve institutional knowledge that would otherwise leave with departing staff. The company reports gains such as faster innovation cycles and large reductions in documentation time from its customer programs, though these figures come from Narratize's own case studies rather than independent verification. It is a web-based application with no publicly listed pricing.
