Problem or Opportunity
For 15 years as a product manager I’ve lived through the pains of managing products using multiple disjointed tools, reminds me of sales people before CRM. So, I talked to 100+ product teams and startups who confirmed the same pains. This creates 3 fundamental business problems:
1. Teams lack of visibility and clarity of customers needs and end-up building the wrong thing, which is costly and even detrimental for startups
2. With disconnected silos, teams have no simple and flexible way to prioritize across everything and build what customers really want.
3. The first two problem lead to reactive mode, teams lack evidence to stay focused on customer true needs and have organizational support

Solution (product or service)
We built "Salesforce" for products.
eProduct is an evidence-based product management solution that makes it very easy for product teams and startups to build a single source of truth and efficiently manage the full product lifecycle from ideation all the way to launch - using Market evidence.
Why eProduct is different
eProduct took Salesforce open data model concepts and expanded them by adding hierarchical objects in each list offering greater flexibility to manage the full lifecycle.
For any feature or idea, you are one-click away from who requested it, how does it rank, which strategy, OKR, persona or market does it align to, and which customers and users asked for it. All this metadata roll-up to scores to help the prioritization process. This way they can very quickly decide what to build next based on what customers really want.
eProduct can be used beyond the roadmap to manage any dataset like launch plans, OKRs, ideas, escalations, personas, customers, etc. and use these records/objects as evidence to build the right product based on market evidence.
