Enterprise Development Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "NOSCO - More than just a super fun platform" November 15, 2021 5.0 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. Review Source NC Naira C. Innovation Manager Industrial Automation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy and intuitive innovation platform" June 21, 2026 5.0 Nosco platform is very intuitive, both from the user's and the admin's perspective. Furthermore, the platform is constantly being optimized based on customer needs. In addition, support responds very quickly if any problems or questions arise. Last but not least, the Nosco team offers webinars featuring interesting discussions and updates, as well as training sessions upon request. Pros The Nosco platform is very easy and intuitive to use, which is very important when introducing a new tool to the company. The data visualization provides a good overview of the number of ideas, comments, and visits to the platform. Cons The platform supports multiple channels. However, when sending an email directly from the platform, the email does not include information about which channel it belongs to. It’s not a major issue (and this customization is already on the Nosco team’s backlog), but it can cause confusion among employees when more than one innovation campaign is active at the same time. Alternatives considered [innosabi software suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/229268/Orbit-Idea/) Reason for choosing Nosco Another company in the group was already using Nosco.

Application Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Efficient Idea Management" June 19, 2026 5.0 Efficient evaluation and development of ideas involving a large number of people. Documentation of ideas so they can be revisited later. Pros Clean and aesthetically pleasing interface. Simple, user-friendly navigation (even colleagues who are less technically oriented get along very well with using it). Continuous development of the platform. Very good support. Contact persons are easy to reach and respond promptly. They accommodate individual customer requirements and take user feedback into account in further development. Cons Management of template information between different stages was not that good at the start (has improved significantly in the meantime.) Alternatives considered [Confluence](https://www.capterra.com/p/136446/Confluence/) Reason for choosing Nosco We had the impression that it was easier for employees to use, and accessibility was very important to us. Review Source UT Ulrike T. Chief Innovation Officer Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best tool for innovation management" June 23, 2026 5.0 We evaluated more than 10 innovation software tools before we chose Nosco. Our decision was based on cost-benefit and the support we got, not only for the tool itself, but the innovation consultancy at the same time. That has been my overall argument for the star rating. The team is super fast with responses, they try to accommodate your needs and they are real partners and not just a vendor or consultant. Pros It's super easy to use in a global company across all the different regions. No extra explanation needed. What I liked even more is the combination of innovation consulting and the innovation software from one hand. I also like the very pragmatic approach from Nosco and their ability to adjust almost everything to your needs and the state of your innovation process and management. They never sell you more than you actually need in this moment. Cons A bit more customization for the look and feel would have been good, but this is nothing decisive. And the AI functions were not yet very helpful, but we were early beta testers, so this isn't a real con. I make it a pros, as they were super fast in testing AI in their solutions. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) Reason for choosing Nosco price - benefit ratio, and consultancy option Review Source SE Stefan E. Global Innovation Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Breakout Software for Innovation" March 1, 2022 5.0 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 Alternatives considered [Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/) Reason 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.

Innovation Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Turning ideas into real momentum" June 18, 2026 5.0 We used Nosco for an internal innovation challenge within the bank, involving employees from different departments and professional backgrounds. The platform helped us structure the entire process — from collecting ideas and encouraging interaction to evaluating submissions and selecting ideas for further development. Overall, our experience was very positive. The platform was intuitive and made it easy for employees to submit, explore, like and comment on ideas. This helped create visibility around the initiative and encouraged participation beyond the employees who had submitted ideas themselves. The Nosco team also supported us throughout the process and contributed valuable expertise during the later development stages of the challenge, including our innovation bootcamp. Their structured methodology helped teams move from initial ideas toward clearer concepts and convincing pitches. Pros The platform is user-friendly and makes innovation initiatives accessible to a broad group of employees, including people who may not have previous experience with innovation methods. It supports participation and interaction well through features such as idea submission, comments and likes. This helped us create engagement and a sense of community around the challenge. The combination of the digital platform, a structured innovation process and the professional support of the Nosco team was particularly valuable. It enabled us to manage a large number of ideas while maintaining a clear and transparent process. Cons Some limitations when it comes to very specific requirements. However, this can usually be managed with the right approach. Review Source MP Mande P. Sustainability and innovation specialist Packaging and Containers Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great tool for structured innovation challenges" June 19, 2026 5.0 I have used Nosco in three different innovation challenges, both as a team member and as an organizer. The platform consistently supported structured collaboration, idea development, and transparent evaluation, making the overall experience smooth and effective. Pros Nosco is a very user-friendly platform with quick setup and easy customization to fit different needs. The interactive features encourage strong collaboration across teams, and it is especially valuable for efficiently evaluating and screening ideas during innovation processes. Cons While overall very positive, there is some room for improvement in terms of advanced customization options and reporting features, which could further enhance usability for more complex innovation projects.

Cons Not much. Very good SW and good cooperation with company. Suggestions for improvement: integration with Jira. Review Source NP Njal P. Head of tech. Management & Innovation Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use of NOSCO platform in global multi-business company" November 11, 2021 5.0 Overall very good. Responsive to operational problems and activity take suggestions onto development roadmap ( and we see quite a few of them implemented:) ) Pros Ease of use and ability for different businesses to configure after need, while maintaining back end admin . Back end admin also not complex allowing admin of many campaigns easily. Cons A little better ability to follow ideas through implementation would be good Review Source SK Soren K. Innovation Lead Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Strong innovation platform" November 10, 2021 5.0 Very possitive experience to use the platform. Strong support from the NOSCO team Pros NOSCO is simple for the users, yet powerful for the organization to facilitate big and small innovation processes Cons NOSCO fixed some bugs related to search. Tagging can be further improved, but its on the backlog Reason for choosing Nosco Nosco offers a strong idea management platform that can be customized to fit your purposes. Also, the organization behind the NOSCO platform is highly skilled, offer good customer service and are very knowledgeable within innovation Review Source cA crisanto A. Engineering Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "easy to use and dynamic" November 11, 2021 5.0 I have been using it for several years and it is really very practical, especially when it comes to sharing information Pros accessibility and usability make it easy to use by any team member Cons search filters are sometimes not practical enough Review Source RN Rolf N. CTO Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "-" February 24, 2022 4.0 Pros web-based application, easy to roll-out worldwide. Cons Nothing. At first glance the software promised to match all of our requirements Reason for choosing Nosco Ease of communication with nosco. Simple, intuitive user interface. Reasonable price. Low implementation effort. Review Source DH Dorte H. Senior Assistant, Shared Administration Innovation Platform Manager Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent platform for collecting, selecting and maturing ideas" June 15, 2022 4.0 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. Review Source YG Yannick G. Director Food Application Center Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great team and tool!" November 23, 2021 5.0 We just completed our most recent collaboration with Nosco and are starting into our next one. Great partner to work with! Pros Ease of use for us to build up our internal and external innovation competitions. Most importantly however the team at Nosco are what makes the difference with this software. Passionate, effective and able to guide through business processes and how the software can support. Cons The big benefit of the software in ease of use and fast implementation can be a limitation/con for some special wishes. This can be managed though. Review Source SHP Steen Harritz P. Digital Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great platform for idea management " November 22, 2021 5.0 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. Review Source RB Roland B. Product Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feedback" March 4, 2022 5.0 Easy to use. Pros good overview, easy to analyse, overall easy to use. Cons Less feedback of the community - is a proactive integration possible? Like an reminder email, to evaluate the idea?
