The work we do, organised by what you're trying to achieve.
Engagements are scoped per problem and priced per outcome. The categories below describe the kinds of work we take on across both Aras Innovator and 3DEXPERIENCE.
Make the platform fit your process — not the other way around.
We design how your data is organised, who can do what, and how the screens look — all around the way your engineering and manufacturing teams actually work. The result is a system your team can read, reason about, and extend without needing us.
- —Data structures that match your real engineering and manufacturing process
- —Approval flows, escalations, and review cycles modelled on your existing process
- —User access, team boundaries, and permission rules that protect sensitive work
- —Forms, views, and dashboards designed around the people who use them daily
When the platform doesn't do what you need, we build it.
Some requirements can't be solved with settings — they need real software underneath. We write that software in clean, reviewable code your IT team can read, maintain, and own after we leave. No black boxes, no lock-in to us.
- —Custom logic that automates repetitive engineering and approval tasks
- —Forms and screens tailored to specific roles, projects, or process steps
- —Rules that fire automatically at key moments — release, change approval, status updates
- —Full activity logs, error handling, and safe rollback paths if something goes wrong
Connect PLM to the rest of your engineering stack.
Most of PLM's value sits at the boundary — between CAD, ERP, MES, and the tools your teams already live in. We design and build those connections so data flows reliably both ways, with no manual rekeying.
- —CAD connectors that keep design files and metadata in sync
- —ERP and MES connections so BOMs, parts, and production data stay aligned
- —Bridges to issue trackers, single sign-on, and document management
- —Real-time or scheduled sync — whichever fits your operations
Move data carefully. Upgrade without surprises.
Whether you’re consolidating from a legacy system or moving up to a newer platform version, we plan and execute every migration with strict data checks at every step. No data loss, no silent corruption, no week-long outages.
- —Map your old system’s data to the new one before anything is committed
- —Trial runs and validation reports before the real cut-over
- —Phased go-lives so day-to-day operations aren’t disrupted
- —Aras Innovator version upgrades (11 → 14 → 15) and 3DEXPERIENCE / ENOVIA release upgrades
Self-sufficient teams, faster.
Hands-on training built around your actual setup — not generic vendor slides. We run sessions for administrators, key power users, and the wider end-user community.
- —Administrator and power-user onboarding
- —End-user productivity sessions tailored to specific roles
- —Knowledge-transfer at the end of a project so your team can take over
Steady operations, without surprises.
Ongoing support with clear response windows. Helpful when you have a working PLM but no in-house specialist to call when something breaks at 2am or a release is blocked.
- —Production incident response with agreed response times
- —Performance reviews when the system slows down as you grow
- —Quarterly health checks and small improvements, on a budget you control
The day-to-day PLM processes engineering and manufacturing teams actually run.
Each one below is a service we deliver — design it from scratch, configure your existing platform around it, fix what's broken, or train your team to own it. On Aras Innovator or Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE, whichever you're on.
Engineering Change Management
From change request to release notice (ECR → ECO → ECN) — every change captured, reviewed, approved, and traceable. We design the workflow, configure the platform around it, and train the people who run it.
Bill of Materials
Engineering, manufacturing, and service BOMs aligned across CAD, ERP, and the shop floor. We set up structures, multi-level views, effectivity rules, and EBOM → MBOM transitions.
Configuration & Variant Management
Effectivity dates, options, and product variants without spreadsheet workarounds. We model variant rules so engineering, sales, and manufacturing share one source of truth.
Stage-Gate & Design Reviews
Phase gates tied to actual engineering deliverables — not chased through email. We model the gates, the checklists, the approvals, and the metrics leadership wants visible.
Document Control
Drawings, specifications, and work instructions versioned, approved, distributed, and obsoleted on a defensible schedule. Aligned with your QMS and audit requirements.
CAD Data Management
Check-in / check-out, revisions, baselines, and where-used impact analysis. We integrate CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, Creo, NX, and AutoCAD with both Aras and 3DEXPERIENCE.
Quality & Compliance
Non-conformance reports, CAPA, 8D investigations, and audit trails — tied to the parts, drawings, and changes they relate to. Built for AS9100, IATF 16949, and ISO 9001 audits.
Supplier Collaboration
Sharing the right BOM, drawings, and changes with suppliers and contract manufacturers — without leaking what they shouldn’t see. Secure, role-based external access set up correctly.
User & Access Management
Single sign-on, role-based access, and identity lifecycle — the right people see the right data, and access is revoked the moment someone leaves. SAML, AD/LDAP, and external supplier access included.
Validation & Test Cycles
Structured user acceptance testing, regression suites, and pre-release smoke tests — so deployments don’t take production down on a Monday morning. We design test plans, run the cycles, and capture sign-offs.
Git-based DevOps for PLM
Version-controlled customisations in GitLab or GitHub, peer review before deployment, automated promotion through dev → test → production. PLM treated like real software — because it is.
AI Agents in PLM
Embed AI assistants directly into PLM — for change-impact analysis, BOM Q&A, document summarisation, and intelligent search. We’re moving aggressively here, and most large SIs aren’t.
A scope, a price, and a date — within a week.
Tell us what's broken — or what you wish worked better. We listen, ask sharp questions, and tell you honestly whether we can help. If we can, you leave the first call with a clear scope, a fixed price, and a realistic delivery date.
