SOLIDWORKS PDM

SOLIDWORKS PDM (Product Data Management) solutions provide an easy way for designers to collaborate on product designs without worrying about version control or data loss.

SOLIDWORKS PDM is a mainstream data management system that stores and organises engineering CAD data and other documents in a central vault that has a relational database to manage all the information about the files and references, users and group permissions, electronic workflow processes and more.

Saves time searching with a secure centralised location for all design documents and utilisation of configurable search cards which make it easy to enter search criteria and control access to data, so the right users have access at the right time based on where a file is in the approval process.

"SOLIDWORKS PDM offers more customisation freedom than most other packages I have used. Workflows and transitions are easier to customise to suit our business."
