    NOSCO - More than just a super fun platform

    5

    Even though the NOSCO platform is the best ideation platform to get, NOSCO is not a software provider but a one stop solution provider and our preferred partner in crime when it comes to innovation. The platform is so super easy that it's "just a tool" - you don't need to spend a lot of workshops on technical discussions but can focus on innovation and ideation and I'm pretty sure you can't find a better partner in that area than NOSCO.

    Pros:
    From a user perspective I really like the super easy usabilty and the social-media like way of ideation. From the admin perspective I really like that it doesn't require technical skills to customize and administrate the platform. The support team is super fast and supportive. I can highly recommend NOSCO to everyone looking for a partner in ideation.
    Cons:
    I really love using the nosco ideation platform from a user perspective as well as from an admin perspective. The platform already is super customizable, if at all there could be some more options to customize the branding on the platform as a customer. But again, the NOSCO team is super fast and supportive and helps out with all kind of customization of branding needed.

    Breakout Software for Innovation

    Beyond the software, the advice on how to run a good innovation campaign is outstanding. It's an open and honest business contact that is never lecturing but always supportive.

    Pros:
    easy to set up and connect to the existing system. Access either for internal employees via normal logon but also easy to create for external users.
    Cons:
    Language switching only works in general and not individually

    Reasons for choosing Nosco

    In day-to-day business, too much is already done via teams - innovation is then lost. furthermore, the integration of external users is much easier with Nosco.

    Excellent platform for collecting, selecting and maturing ideas

    4

    NOSCO is a very good software to collect ideas, build on and comment on ideas, evaluate ideas etc. We use the NOSCO both for short idea challenges with a focused scope and the channels as always open channels for gathering ideas within specific areas, e.g. gathering ideas within a department so the ideas are visible for everyone in the department and people can see how the ideas are in progress moving from one stage to another . We also use the channels for sharing knowhow across locations all over the world, so employees in different countries immediately are informed about new technology, machines etc. The support from NOSCO is excellent and fast.

    Pros:
    It is easy to set up a challenge or channel. It is easy for idea submitters to post ideas. It is easy for channel admin to evaluate and handle the ideas and to get an overview of the ideas, evaluations etc. You can invite people across the organization (or perhaps external) to post ideas when they have time and from their work station - you save money for traveling to workshops.
    Cons:
    A few topics are missing in the Help function seen from my point of view.

    Pros:
    The platform works both as a place to throw a good idea, that is not opted to be developed at the moment, but should be kept as a reminder for second time. Additionally it is optimal to be used for short sprints of idea generation across the company to find new needs or ideas in the area of digital, technical, sustainable or other areas in the company. The customer service department is amazing and provide support day and night! Amazing.
    Cons:
    The search function could be more dynamic.
