Product Data Management

Run your parts library out of something other than a spreadsheet.

Revision control, routed ECO approvals, and an in-browser CAD viewer. Built for hardware teams that have outgrown the spreadsheet but don't need an enterprise PLM rollout.

No credit card required. Import your parts from CSV in minutes.

Capabilities

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Parts & revisions

Every change creates a new revision. Previous versions stay accessible.

Bill of materials

Multi-level BOMs with automatic rollups. Import and export via CSV.

Change orders

Route ECOs through approval workflows with email-enforced deadlines.

File vault

Check-out/check-in prevents two engineers from overwriting the same file.

CAD viewer

Render STL, OBJ, STEP, and IGES directly in the browser. No plugin.

Lifecycle states

Configure the states a part moves through and which transitions need approval.

Release packages

Implement an ECO and get a frozen, shareable handoff with every file and BOM.

Audit log

Complete history of who changed what and when. Exportable.

Browser-native

Open a STEP file in a browser tab.

Click any CAD file in the vault and it renders instantly. Works for the engineer who created it, the reviewer approving the ECO, and the machinist on the shop floor with nothing but a laptop.

Configurable lifecycle states with per-transition approval gates

Configurable

Your workflow, defined in minutes.

WIP, In Review, Released, Obsolete. Or whatever your team actually uses. Set which transitions require approval and change the workflow later without migrating anything.

Approvals

Route changes through the right people.

Define multi-step approval workflows with deadlines. Assign them to lifecycle transitions so the right reviewers sign off before anything gets released. No more chasing signatures over email.

Quick start

Live by the end of the week.

Import parts from a CSV, upload your files to the vault, invite your team. A small hardware team can be running on PACE PDM the same week they sign up.

Pricing
