Novocure’s Path to Efficient Design Collaboration

“For the first time, we had a platform that connected every department. Changes were communicated instantly, and we could finally focus on meaningful design work instead of chasing approvals.”
Engineer, Novocure

TL;DR

Novocure, a global leader in innovative oncology treatments, partnered with bananaz to overcome workflow inefficiencies and streamline cross-department collaboration. The results were transformative:

  • 250+ hours saved monthly
  • 85% reduction in drawing iterations 
  • Unified siloed teams with a centralized platform
  • Empowered engineers and boosted employee engagement

Obstacles to Innovation

Bottlenecks & Fragmented Communications

Inefficiencies in workflows were impeding Novocure’s talented engineering teams. Despite being a global leader in oncology treatments, the company’s design processes were riddled with bottlenecks and fragmented communication. Engineering and design teams often worked in silos, leading to duplicated efforts and costly delays.

Critical engineering change orders (ECOs) dragged on for weeks due to manual review processes and inconsistent communication across departments. Email chains, spreadsheets, and outdated systems compounded the problem, leaving teams overwhelmed by unending drawing revisions and approval cycles.

As one team lead put it, “Our engineers spent more time chasing updates and reconciling errors than focusing on innovative solutions for patients.”

Path to Efficiency

A Unified Workflow with bananaz

bananaz stepped in with a comprehensive solution to unify Novocure’s sprawling design processes within a single platform. This went far beyond a mere software upgrade; it totally transformed how Novocure’s teams work together.

By introducing real-time collaboration tools and a CAD-integrated platform, bananaz automated Novocure’s previously manual tasks, from validating changes to logging drawing updates. The company’s teams gained instant access to centralized dashboards that offered clear visibility into project progress for everyone, ensuring accountability at every stage.

Automated redline markups and intelligent validation tools reduced errors and eliminated the need for repetitive manual reviews. Notifications kept cross-departmental teams aligned, while intuitive features made onboarding simple, allowing Novocure to hit the ground running.

Results Achieved

Time Savings & Workflow Transformation

The impact of adopting bananaz was immediate and measurable:

  • 250+ Hours Saved Monthly: Across 15 team members, automation slashed time spent on repetitive tasks and drawing updates.
  • Faster ECO Approvals: Approval cycles were reduced by 50%, accelerating product launches and ensuring regulatory compliance.
  • Fewer Drawing Iterations: 85% reduction in drawing iterations meant teams could focus on forward-thinking innovation instead of rework.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: By breaking down silos, bananaz streamlined communication and brought departments together, ensuring seamless updates and faster decisions.

Beyond the metrics, Novocure reported a significant boost in team morale. Engineers felt empowered to focus on high-impact tasks, and project leads gained newfound confidence in the reliability of their workflows.

The Road Ahead

Scaling Success with bananaz

With bananaz at the core of its engineering processes, Novocure is poised to scale its success. The next step? Integrating the platform with their PLM system to unlock even greater efficiencies and build an infrastructure capable of supporting future growth.
