PLM
Product Lifecycle Management
Manage every product from concept to retirement with full version control and cross-functional collaboration.
VEXPLOR PLM provides a single platform for managing product data, BOMs, engineering changes, and documentation throughout the entire product lifecycle. From initial design through manufacturing, service, and end-of-life, maintain complete traceability and enable seamless cross-functional collaboration.
Non-Standard (Before)
Non-Standard (Before)
- BOM files scattered across shared drives with no version control
- Engineering changes communicated via email chains
- No single source of truth for product specifications
- Document approval cycles take weeks with paper signatures
- Disconnected product data between engineering and manufacturing
Standardized (After)
Standardized (After)
- Centralized BOM repository with full revision history
- Automated ECO/ECN workflows with digital approvals
- Single source of truth accessible to all stakeholders
- Document review cycles completed in hours with e-signatures
- Seamless engineering-to-manufacturing BOM transformation
