Initially acquired for its powerful DMS functionalities, Documenta PLM is now at the center of our application and functional context. Over time, we have created efficient corporate workflow models in Documenta PLM that allow us to operate securely and with great efficiency. Ennio Labarile - NTE PROCESS
The acquisition of Documenta PLM led to a rapid return on investment. We observed a drastic reduction in the execution time of activities related to searching and managing technical documents, code creation/duplication, and general efficiency in using our CAD design software Simone Pedrini - OCRIM
Documenta PLM has been in the company for over ten years and guarantees us high operational effectiveness in order management, integrating and optimizing data flows from the design environment towards the ERP/MRP applications.Giorgio Pizzolato - PM PIZZOLATO
Documenta PLM is the software that integrates the technical office with other company departments. The DMS functionalities led to a clear reduction in document search times, and integration with the ERP eliminated coding transcription errors. Nicola Parolin - REA ROBOTICS
Documenta's effective functional model allowed us to create and replicate effective and integrated operational setups in several of our group companies. Documenta PLM integrates the design and production areas and is the main tool used in industrial order management. Valentino Padoin - SOMEC
The DMS functionalities present in Documenta PLM effectively support our complex document operational flows. This includes everything from automatic generation of multilingual documents and managing approvals via electronic signature to the secure management of the archive. Fabio Morello - STEVANATO GROUP
We have been Documenta PLM clients for almost twenty years; our company growth has been accompanied by this software, which serves as the rationalizer of our systems. Beyond the typical PDM functionalities, we use Documenta to manage certain corporate processes, such as order development and resource management using the integrated Gantt Davide De Carli - TECHNOWRAPP
Documenta PLM effectively integrates our technical office with other departments involved in order management. The optimized workflows allow us to achieve significant improvements in quality and fulfillment times. Giorgio Todesco - TODESCO
The distinction between the two systems can be explained directly by their acronyms:
A PDM system is the tool that supports specific phases of product development—typically those related to design, technical data management, including drawings and all associated documentation.
PDM primarily integrates with the company’s CAD software system, optimizing and streamlining not only design functions but also the creation of master data codes and the management of Technical Bills of Material (BOMs). In practice, PDM certainly helps optimize certain phases of the overall project/order management process, thereby improving the company’s general productivity indexes.
In addition to including the typical functionalities of PDM software, PLM offers a set of functionalities that ensure the complete management of the entire product lifecycle, supporting all company departments involved in project/order management with data handling. Information is made available to all departments, and processes are automated.
PLM systems normally include Process Management and Project Management functionalities with the goal of maintaining real-time control over corporate operations.
In conclusion, a PLM system certainly contains a PDM system within it, but it also features additional functionalities that make it the enterprise application platform enabling the perfect integration between software tools, people, and processes.
Our answer to this question is Documenta: a PDM/PLM software structured in a modular way that allows companies a scalable approach.
It is possible to introduce Documenta Standard (PDM) with the goal of optimizing technical data management processes, and subsequently upgrade the system to Documenta PLM, which includes high-performance Process and Project Management functionalities.
This means not only effective integration with CAD, MS-Office, and various ERP systems, along with the best interpretation of the “PDM” function set, but also a powerful manager of procedural workflows to support the correct execution and temporal planning of corporate macro-activities, ensuring the controlled involvement of users across all departments. Documenta PLM is the scalable solution that optimizes industrial processes with the best parameters for productivity and margin.
Attention: simply equipping the company with PDM/PLM software is not enough to achieve your objectives! You also need the right partner to implement the project!
A PDM/PLM project actually has two main components: the quality software tool and the correct strategy for deploying the available functionalities. And as we know, the correct strategy is often a result of experience.
Documenta has been effectively developing and implementing PDM/PLM systems for almost 30 years, providing a guarantee of success for companies looking to adopt these systems.
