2026 NIMONIK PRODUCT ROADMAP

Standards Store Tasks and Goals

  • Fix data errors and inconsistencies
  • Automate all feeds that are available
  • Coordinate with subscription team to load into Leborg all standards data for all publishers with whom we have agreements 
  • Build functionality to allow resellers to offer standards to their customers (coupon codes and re-assignment of standards)

Subscription Platform

The 2026 Nimonik Roadmap for product development is focused on three core elements:

  1. Finish standards management functionality in NimonikApp platform
  2. Integrate AI to offer more value to customers – summaries, enhanced clauses, and applicability assessments of regulations and standards when possible
  3. Improve ease of use and simplify existing functionality

Integration of Industry Standards into the NimonikApp Platform

A number of improvements will be made to the way standards are handled, including:

  • Ability to create and manage better subscriptions to standards (collections, blocks, custom collections, add-ons,…)
  • Complete all publisher collections with historical documents for all publishers we have agreements with
  • Finalize other critical standards requirements (print restrictions, geo restrictions, note-taking in standards,…)
  • Search of full text of standards and regulations in platform

This section of our roadmap is expected to consume 35% of our technical team’s capacity.

Ease of Use Improvements

This section of our product roadmap is focused on improving the user experience and driving more value for our customers. This section is flexible and will have items added to it based on customer feedback, design decisions and unexpected events. Our high level priorities for 2026 are as follows:

  • Embed AI into document assessments and allow applicability assessments with AI
  • Ensure we have full-text for as many documents in the database as reasonably possible and improve data quality
  • Simplified interface, remove unused features, streamline existing functionality

This section of our roadmap is expected to consume 50% of our technical team’s capacity.

System Upgrades and Security Improvements

  • Conduct Penetration test in Q1 2026
  • Nimonik will close out any remaining addressable items from its penetration tests.
  • Various bug fixes and performance upgrades

This section of our roadmap is expected to consume 15% of our technical team’s capacity.
