Connect dispersed design and BOM information to streamline design changes and product development.
This is a PLM platform that connects product information, drawings, BOM, design changes, and project information, supporting the utilization of information from design to manufacturing. It centrally manages information that is dispersed across departments and systems, streamlining information exploration, responses to design changes, and inter-departmental collaboration. It supports the speed and quality improvement of product development. CONTACT Software provides functionalities that support the entire product lifecycle, including product data management, BOM management, document management, project management, and change management. Additionally, a SaaS-based "CIM Database Cloud" is available for quick deployment. By utilizing pre-configured standard features, it allows for a small start in PLM without the need for server environment preparation or long-term initial setup. GBS leverages the knowledge gained as the first sales agent of CONTACT Software in Japan to consistently support the organization of current operations, To-Be business design, PLM concept formulation, implementation, and operational establishment. We support PLM implementation not by asking "which product to introduce," but by focusing on "how to change which operations."

Detailed information
-
We will achieve a "connected" PLM that centrally manages all information related to products, transcending the barriers of departments, companies, and systems. From CAD data, drawings, and specifications at the design stage to BOM, design changes, technical changes, manufacturing, procurement, and even maintenance and service, we can associate and manage information throughout the entire product lifecycle on CONTACT Software. We reduce the state where information is dispersed across departmental Excel files, file servers, and individual systems, creating an environment that makes it easy to track "which information is the latest," "why it was changed," and "which products or parts are affected." This supports inter-departmental collaboration among design, manufacturing, production technology, procurement, quality assurance, and service. Furthermore, by integrating with existing systems such as ERP, MES, and CAD, we can leverage existing IT assets while utilizing PLM as the core of product information. By connecting information from product development to manufacturing, operation, and service, we support faster change responses, more efficient information searches, and reduced rework.
