PRO.FILE – the data backbone

for your PLM processes

PRO.FILE is the Product Data Backbone that lets companies man-age and integrate product data through out the product lifecycle. It integrates product data management (PDM) with document management (DMStec) and was built with manufacturing and engineering companies in mind. It creates electronic files as an effective way to secure your document control processes.

PRO.CEED perfectly enhances

PRO.FILE comes with features, processes, and methods for the planning and control of your PLM processes. It enables you to auto-mate the management of your task, project or process files based on pre-defined rules, while allowing you to monitor and document all activities. These are managed through built-in cockpits. This will help you structure your project and process management and tie it to the product data.

Manage processes with PRO.CEED
