Questions
How is LoopNPD different from a traditional food PLM?
It's self-serve: start free, paid plans from $29/mo at founding rates, and no implementation project. It covers the R&D side (formulas, tests, stage gates) with an AI co-pilot that reads across all of it, and every table exports to CSV or Excel.
Is LoopNPD an ERP?
No. It doesn't run purchasing, inventory or production. It holds your product development work and exports to whatever ERP you use.
How many people can use it?
Free is 1 seat, Solo up to 2, Professional includes 3 (add up to 5 at $25 each) and Team includes 5 (add up to 20 at $45 each). Past 20 seats is Enterprise.

New Product Charter & Design (Feasibility Gate), First Bench-Top Trials, Bench Top Sample Sign Off, Bench Top Scale Up/Pilot Tests (Project Approval Gate), Factory Handover and Factory Trial (Factory Handover Gate), Product Submissions, Launch (Product Launch Gate), and Post-Launch Review.
