It ensures seamless data flow across departments, providing end-to-end visibility and enabling better decision-making throughout the product lifecycle.

SAP PLM Capabilities

Enterprise-Wide Product Data Management

SAP PLM unifies product data with enterprise systems, ensuring all stakeholders—from engineering to finance—have access to accurate, up-to-date information. This reduces silos and accelerates decision-making across departments.

Integrated BOM Management

Manage engineering, manufacturing, and service BOMs within a single SAP environment. SAP PLM ensures consistency across systems, aligning design, supply chain, and production teams for seamless execution.

CAD & Engineering Integration

Connects directly with leading CAD tools to synchronize product data with SAP systems. Engineers can share designs without duplication, improving accuracy and accelerating product development cycles.

Change & Workflow Management

Automates engineering change requests, approvals, and workflows. SAP PLM provides complete traceability and ensures compliance while reducing cycle times and accelerating product updates.

Document & Content Management

Securely manage product-related documents such as drawings, specifications, and test results. SAP PLM offers robust version control, searchability, and collaboration capabilities.

Requirements & Compliance Management

Capture, track, and link requirements directly to designs and processes. SAP PLM ensures that regulatory and business requirements are met consistently, reducing the risk of late-stage compliance issues.

Product Configuration & Variant Management

Handle product complexity by managing configurable products and multiple variants. SAP PLM ensures accurate representation across sales, engineering, and manufacturing.
