Need to speed up new product introduction (NPI) or improve bill of material (BOM) management?  Struggling to get to the next step with your business growth?

Matrix offers a fresh approach to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions in New Zealand and Australia.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a strategic business approach that applies a set of business solutions in support of the collaborative creation, management, dissemination, and use of product records across the extended enterprise spanning from product concept to end of life.  PLM solutions combine existing business systems (ERP, CAD, SCM, DMS/CMS), providing a single source for product information including Bill of Material (BOM) and supporting collaboration and communication within a project environment. 

Product Data Management (PDM) is part of the PLM approach.  It integrates multi-seat and multi-CAD workgroups into a single environment.  It allows concurrent design and design re-use as well as product visualisation for the entire enterprise.  PDM enables you to efficiently organise workflows and manage the approval and release process of product data.
