Propel Software (Propel PLM)

Propel Software is an AI-powered product data platform for manufacturers and product companies, unifying Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Quality Management (QMS), and Product Information Management (PIM) on a single system of record built natively on the Salesforce Platform. Propel exposes a resource-based REST API (Salesforce Apex REST) for the core PLM objects — Items, Bills of Material, Changes/ECOs, and Attachments — plus a bulk Import API and a read-oriented PIM API for syndicating product, variant, category, channel, and digital-asset data to commerce and marketing channels. All API access is authenticated with Salesforce OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens and executes within the requesting user's permission scope. Propel is backed by Norwest Venture Partners.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Propel Software (Propel PLM) the way a machine reads it — 22 machine-readable artifacts across 15 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Propel Software (Propel PLM) scores 55.5/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 75/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Propel Software (Propel PLM)

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Propel Software (Propel PLM). For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 15

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Propel Software (Propel PLM) Assembly API

The Assembly API from Propel Software (Propel PLM) — 1 operation(s) for assembly.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
