PRO.FILE Product Lifecycle Management; Manage and automate PLM processes

The success of your business is largely determined by the contribution that projects and processes make to the profitability of the company.
PRO.FILE is the no-nonsense solution for the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process for industrial organizations and offers a company-wide solution for managing product data over the entire life cycle of the product (from design to end-of-life). PDM, PLM, DMStec and archiving in one system that organizes all your design and product data based on your own product structure and within which you yourself arrange how you manage and manage your documents. The basic components are an electronic vault / database for storing all product data, product structures and bills of materials and engineering data (CAD). Access to the data in it is done via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and is protected and controlled via user rights. By assigning digital lifecycles / workflows the status of the data is recorded and per document the possibilities are determined, for example whether it is allowed to make an overhaul or to make a change in the data. Because all information is stored in a database, the retrieval of data and reuse of parts is increasingly possible and more effective.

PLM Xpert and Exact: Process orders efficiently throughout the primary process

PRO.FILE is the Multi ERP solution

Exact and PRO.FILE complement each other well. In the manufacturing industry, it is important that a development that arises during Engineering ties in well with the process of further processing and follow-up on the logistics side.

Partly thanks to its open architecture, PRO.FILE offers the possibility to exchange data in real time between all departments. PRO.FILE can play a key role in connecting the production department and the engineering department.
