When a company releases a new product, it’s an exciting and scary time for everyone. Even if everyone is busy, all of the departments, such sales, marketing, operations, finance, and others, need to work together. But in many businesses, broken equipment slows down this growth. When schedules don’t line up, teams waste time looking for files, approvals get lost in email chains, and delays that cost a lot of money happen.
The best project management tools fix this problem by linking all the tasks together so that everything flows smoothly from the start. Lark is one of these platforms. It ensures that data, communication, and execution are all in sync, which helps teams get things done faster and more clearly. Its features make sure that great ideas don’t get lost between coming up with them and looking at them again after they launch. Instead, they get to the market on time.
Lark Base: Structuring the product launch foundation
Lark Base
The first step to a successful launch is to make a plan. When teams don’t have a central spot to obtain information, they do the same thing repeatedly, forget what’s most essential, or overlook connections. Lark Base brings everything together into one versatile platform that makes sure launches go off without a hitch.
Base can also support the features of a CRM app, such as enabling sales teams keep track of their leads and stay in touch with clients during launch campaigns. Marketing may maintain track of campaign assets in one place, operations can keep track of supply chain records in another, and product teams can keep track of development milestones in still another.
-
Custom databases enable teams create systems for specific launch requirements, such keeping track of vendors, media lists, or product features.
-
Dashboards provide leadership with instant visibility into launch progress across departments.
-
Linked items link launch assets like contracts, designs, and supplier agreements so that they all fit together.
-

-
Filters and searches make retrieving the right launch record quick and simple.
Lark Docs: Building launch materials collaboratively
Lark Docs
For any product launch, content is incredibly vital. These are things like reports, strategy papers, campaign briefings, and training manuals. But sending files as email attachments can make it impossible to work together and cost a lot of money because it’s hard to know which version is which. Lark Docs is a location where teams can work together to make and improve launch materials in real time.

Shared calendars can help you recall crucial launch events like beta testing, media briefings, and shipping cutoffs.

Lark Approval: Moving launch decisions forward
Lark Approval
You need to make certain critical decisions before you can launch, such clearing budgets, approving off on marketing materials, or confirming contracts with suppliers. If these get stuck in email, the whole launch timeline will be pushed back. Lark Approval is a simple and organized way to keep things going.
-
Standardized forms make requests consistent and easy to process.
-
Clean interfaces show leaders exactly where approvals are pending.
-
Role-based permissions protect sensitive launch information.

Lark Sheets: Driving launch insights through data
Lark Sheets
Data can help you anticipate how much demand there will be and keep track of how things are progressing. But it’s hard to work together and keep things distinct when you use old-fashioned spreadsheets. Lark Sheets maintains data up to date, collaborative, and helpful during the whole launch process.

Advanced formulas and pivot tables uncover insights quickly.

Sheets turns data into a shareable resource, which lets teams quickly react to market signals before, during, and after a launch.
Conclusion
One of the hardest things for a firm to undertake is to launch a new product. When utilized with broken tools, they can cause things to be duplicated, take longer, and miss out on opportunities. Lark and other unified platforms solve this by helping you keep an eye on and connect every stage of the launch, from the idea to the market.
Base gives you a strong foundation, Docs keeps your resources up to date, Messenger makes it easy to talk to other people, Calendar maintains track of deadlines, Approval speeds up decision-making with automated workflow, and Sheets keeps your data up to date and helpful.
