The highlights of PDM Studio

PDM Studio is not just any product data management system. Our solution is based on our expertise in mechanical and plant engineering since 1989. PDM Studio is aimed in particular at small and medium-sized companies that want to operate a professional product data management system that is not too complex but also contains all the functions needed to manage product data optimally.

Our highlights:

Easy handling

PDM Studio is based on the classic product development process, based on a deep understanding of user requirements and behavior. It was developed by engineers for engineers. PDM Studio aims to adapt to and support the user's requirements as much as possible.

This starts with a configurable user interface. This gives every user the opportunity to adapt the program ideally to their needs and working methods. Take a look at the video!
 
PDM Studio also offers wizards in many places that guide the user through processes (e.g. creating a new document or approvals). This promotes standardized working methods and reduces errors. Thanks to PDM Studio, users can concentrate on the important things. As all users have access to the "single source of truth", the previous time-consuming coordination effort is also largely superfluous.
 
PDM Studio also relieves users of tedious routine tasks such as exporting neutral formats, creating derivations of sheet metal parts or manually filling in properties such as part numbers. PDM Studio works in the background and does not want to burden the user.
 
The necessary data maintenance is kept to a minimum and takes place alongside the processing of components or assemblies. PDM Studio synchronizes information once it has been entered at all points where it is required. All this means that PDM Studio enjoys a high level of acceptance among all user groups.
Calculable PDM entry without cost risk

Thanks to our clearly defined quick-start package PDM Studio Express, which is based on our decades of experience in mechanical and plant engineering and includes all the essential functions required for a quick and efficient entry into product data management, you can get started with PDM Studio within just a few weeks - without burdening your employees. How does that work? Feel free to contact us!

With the PDM Studio Express rapid start bundle, you also benefit from complete cost transparency: you know exactly which services are included and what budget you can plan with - without hidden costs or unexpected additional expenses. This gives you a reliable basis for your project planning and an optimum start to the efficient handling of your product data.

PDM Studio usually recoups its investment within the first 12 months due to enormous efficiency gains, e.g. through the automation of routine tasks and the associated reduction in manual errors (e.g. the production of obsolete components).

Short introduction time

PDM Studio is characterized by a very short project duration. Typically, it only takes 4 to 6 weeks from the start of the project until users are working with the system across the board.

The internal effort required by the customer is minimal. The PDM Studio team has standardized many processes and offers sophisticated configuration packages. This means that we only need a small amount of information to set up the system in the background.

No project team is required on the customer side. They can continue to focus fully on their actual business.

Low operating costs

No specialist knowledge is required for the administrative support of PDM Studio. The system can simply be managed via "normal" IT. Of course, we also train the technical administrators in addition to the users and key users, so that you can take over administration from the outset without our involvement.

And, of course, our experts are also on hand with help and advice should the need arise.

The regular update packages are easy to install - similar to Office software. Here, too, the effort is reduced to a minimum.

Typical everyday problems that PDM Studio solves efficiently:

Automate routine tasks easily - without any programming effort!

With our drag-and-drop editor, even complex routine processes can be created without any programming knowledge - from automatically filling in properties and creating PDFs, STEP or DXF files to managing print jobs, copy wizards and parts lists.

  • Save time and avoid errors
  • Free up resources for actual engineering work
  • Increase efficiency and quality in the team

You change or delete a component and realize that it has been used in other designs?

Parts or assemblies are often installed multiple times - it is usually difficult to determine exactly where in day-to-day business. This makes it all the more important to be able to trace at any time whether and where they are still being used.

With PDM Studio, the where-used list is just a click away!
All file relationships are displayed transparently in a clear top-down or bottom-up hierarchy. This means you always have an overview and can control and implement changes as required without risking unnecessary rework or errors.

No more broken links: With PDM Studio, your CAD files stay exactly where they belong.

pdms_202506_broken_linkImagine this: You open an assembly in your CAD system - and several parts are missing or cannot be loaded. What should be a quick operation turns into a time-consuming search for lost files and broken links. If files are moved or deleted on a network drive, Windows Explorer does not offer a recycle bin. Without a backup, they are permanently lost.

PDM Studio, our powerful solution for managing product data and supplementary documents, keeps an eye on your files in real time - and plays it safe:

  • 🔒 Linked files cannot be accidentally deleted
  • 🔗 Links remain intact automatically - even in complex CAD environments
  • 💾 Files can be reliably restored at any time

Say goodbye to broken links. PDM Studio ensures structured, secure data - and keeps your team on the move.

Where did we store this file again? Find files instantly with our Quick Search!

Quick Search Bar

With so many projects and files spread across different folders, it is easy to lose track of where a particular file has been stored. Classic tools such as Windows Explorer are of little help here. The search is slow, limited and you can only search by file name.

Our Quick Search 🔍 works like a search engine: fast, intuitive and with a feel for context.

Find the file you need immediately, including linked documents, even if you only remember part of the name or linked files.

Are You Organizing Your Data Only by Folders?

Traditional file explorers like Windows Explorer offer limited flexibility. Even small actions like renaming a document can end up in lost references, broken links and preventable time spent searching for related files or fixing issues. In some cases, the damage is irreversible.

PDM Studio delivers a structured and reliable approach: Create relationships between projects, articles, folders or even between other documents. This ensures your data remains consistent, connected and traceable throughout the entire lifecycle.

Our motto: Change files without unpleasant surprises later on.
