PLM for Component Manufacturers

Move orders from RFQ to manufacturing planning and engineering relese faster than ever. Streamline how you engage with your supply chain, both customers and suppliers, to accelerate innovation and build trust.

Why use PLM for Component Manufacturers?

Now, more than ever, component manufacturers must deliver projects faster and with improved quality. However, inefficient program management, reliance on manual processes and disconnected systems make collaboration more difficult and create longer lead times, slower order turnaround and inconsistent product quality.

Without the tools to help connect core teams, companies struggle to communicate across the supply chain consistently. The resulting miscommunications and disruptions slow down production.
