Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
Optimise the use of your product data throughout with PLM software
Symetri's PLM solution efficiently controls design data, ensuring seamless transfer to items and BOMs. Collaboration between teams and systems guarantees the creation and utilisation of product information, reducing unnecessary costs and avoiding errors caused by inaccuracies. Our PLM offering is tailored for efficiency across Engineering, Production, Supply Chain, Sales, After-Sales, and Service Operations. The goal is to provide up-to-date product information to all relevant stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle.
For a more detailed breakdown of PLM, see our in-depth guide on what is Product Lifecycle Management.
What Is PLM Software?
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is both a system and a business strategy designed to manage every piece of product-related data — from concept and design through manufacturing, service, and end-of-life.
A PLM system connects people, processes, and information, ensuring that product data remains consistent, reliable, and available wherever it’s needed.
With the right PLM tool, you can:
Collaborate securely across teams and suppliers
Integrate with CAD, ERP, and other enterprise systems
Maintain compliance, traceability, and version accuracy
Benefits of PLM
Available at the Right Time and Place
Timely accessibility where needed
Meeting Quality Standards
Aligning with the company's quality requirements.
Reviewed by the Right Person
Appropriate checks in the product delivery process.
Reusable for Projects
Available for both new and recurring projects.
Accessible to Distributed Teams
Reachable by teams and the supply chain.
Reliably Consistent
Uncompromised reliability without exceptions.
INCREASE DESIGN TIME SIGNIFICANTLY IN SEVERAL WAYS:
- With productivity tools that improve routines for modelling and drawing creation
- Enriching model data with smart properties such as dictionaries and calculated field values
- Automatically creating information needed outside the engineering department as part of the design process (BOMs, shareable files, etc.)
- Ensuring that information is easily available and accessible to those who need it
SIMPLIFY THE SELLING PROCESS FOR COMPLEX PRODUCTS:
- Translating technical details into saleable features to facilitate the dialogue with customers
- Removing the challenge of understanding technical dependencies with easy configuration rule management
- Ensuring shorter delivery times and fewer mistakes with automatic Production BOM creation
- Streamlining the sales process to improve new customer adoption, driving revenue growth and profitability
IDENTIFY AND REDUCE WASTE:
- Having the right data in the right place at the right time (for people and systems) because product information is integrated into the production process and systems
- Increasing efficiency by providing information automatically in the required format for various roles
- Taking process efficiency to the next level by accessing product documentation using QR codes
- Easing supplier access to increasing efficiency in the procurement process by easing supplier access to
- Easing the supplier access to product information and engineering change procedures in the procurement process, thereby reducing errors
REALISE THE SERVICE BUSINESS POTENTIAL:
- Manage each delivered equipment uniquely, a solid base for Fleet management
- Record and catalogue the serial numbers of critical components for efficient traceability
- Attach service programmes to equipment to relay an understanding of the required service and spare part business opportunities
- Installed base information in PLM ensures data accuracy in your Field Service Management systems, which is the core of your FSM strategy
