About the software

Innovation is the lifeblood of manufacturing companies worldwide. With more than 70% of today’s products becoming obsolete within the next three to five years, you need to develop new products to sustain your revenue and profitability targets. But how can you move from “accidental innovation” to “sustainable innovation” and make the delivery of innovative new products a repeatable, predictable, and profitable process for your company?

Invention Machine’s Goldfire InnovatorTM has answered that question for more than 500 manufacturing companies around the world. Goldfire Innovator is an enterprise software application that fuses proven ideation and problem-solving methodologies with precise access to corporate and external knowledge. Goldfire Innovator enables engineers and business leaders to collaboratively define opportunities and problems in a common language, then stimulate creative idea generation to drive breakthrough products.

Powered by patented semantic search technology, Goldfire Innovator provides direct access to concepts from inside and outside of the company, including corporate data sources, deep web sites, worldwide patent data, and Invention Machine’s proprietary technical content. Goldfire Innovator puts the right information in the right hands at the right time, fueling repeatable innovation.
