Idea Workflow & Idea Management Software - ITONICS

Ideas from anyone, anywhere - without clutter

Most ideas get lost in inboxes, spreadsheets, or forgotten talks. Process them with clear workflows and strategic impact - so you invest in action, not administration.

Organize idea flows

Scattered idea collection leads to double work and no impact. Run organized idea campaigns where interactive campaign dashboards inform about progress, and ideas match with strategic objectives.

Submit on the go

The best idea can come any time. Don't risk forgetting it and use the Inspirator App to store a thought from a walk or talk.

Evaluate collaboratively

When everything’s a priority, nothing moves forward. Set fair priorities using standardized evaluation frameworks and collaborative team input—so the right ideas get the green light.

Involve recommended experts

Do you know the expert for any topic or every idea ever submitted? Probably not, so let the system identify duplicates and suggest the right experts for validation.

Track KPIs

How many of your greatest ideas died on never-ending lists? Keep momentum with real-time dashboards, clear task ownership, and interactive roadmaps that turn thoughts into results.

Boost idea quality

You don’t need more ideas - you need better ones. Or, just a little help from the ITONICS Innovation AI.

Ideate with a co-pilot

The ITONICS Innovation AI is everyone's innovation co-pilot, providing ideas, guidance, and a sparring partner.

Detect similar ideas

The ITONICS Innovation AI recommends users similar content or helps prevent submitting a similar idea multiple times.

Add unbiased evidence

Less guess-work, clearer decisions. Add further accuracy to your idea selection process with educated AI-evaluations—based on your decision criteria.

Activate your innovation ecosystem

No organization has all the best ideas in-house. Crowdsource from start-ups, universities, and customers.

Collect external ideas

There are more brilliant ideas outside your walls than within. Collect input from customers, start-ups, and research partners through one shared portal. Let external voices fuel your pipeline. And prioritize what fits your agenda with collaborative ratings and workflows.

Find new start-ups

Are you overlooking the solutions already being built externally? Scout innovative partners and evaluate fit with shared ratings, workflows, and views.

Share your product plans

When product plans are hidden, expectations run wild. Place your roadmap on any webpage to share progress, timelines, and priorities—building trust in and outside your organization.

Invite to co-innovate

Invite external parties to your Innovation OS and give them restricted access to just collaborate on what they should see.

Cultivate everyday innovation

Nothing new is built from silence. Give your people the space to discuss tomorrow today.

Gamify and reward

It’s easier to take risks when effort is seen. ITONICS helps you reward experimentation, and create a culture where trying beats playing it safe.

Share inspiring insights

Send your co-workers interesting collections of insights as regular newsletters. Or, let them subscribe to topics to receive regular updates.

Collaborative communities

Knowledge grows when shared. Connect the right people across departments and partners to co-create ideas that are smarter from the start.
