Challenges

Contract Manufacturing Has A Different Kind Of Complexity

Serving medical, aerospace, automotive, and high-tech customers - often in the same building - creates hurdles a single-industry manufacturer never faces.

Customer Data Walls

Serving competing customers under the same roof means strict data segregation is not optional - it's contractual.

Multi-Regime Compliance

One plant may need to satisfy FDA and ISO 13485 for a medical program, AS9100 for aerospace, and ITAR for defense - simultaneously.

Supplier Blind Spots

Suppliers get drawings thrown over the wall instead of a seat at the change-management table.

Plant-To-Plant Drift

Different manufacturing sites working from different versions of the same BOM and routing.

Design-Build Handoff Gaps

For CMs that design as well as build, engineering data and manufacturing execution live in disconnected systems.

Solution

Everything You Need To Run
Multi-Customer Manufacturing

A single platform that does not just store data - it orchestrates the relationship between your customers, your suppliers, and every plant on your floor.

Integrated Data Management

Centralize CAD, BOMs, and specs from every customer and every plant in one secure, access-controlled repository.

Advanced Version Control

Branch, merge, and manage versions across mechanical, electrical, and software domains with Git-like simplicity.

Customer & Supplier Connect

Customers and suppliers review the same model in real time, inside a controlled environment with full access control.

Lifecycle Traceability

Trace a requirement from customer specification through qualified supplier part to shipped unit.

Change Management

ECOs and ECRs that route to the right customer and the right supplier automatically, with full impact analysis.

Oracle Agile Migration

Already On Oracle Agile?
Migration Is Already Solved.

Replacing Oracle Agile means putting years - sometimes decades - of item history, change orders, and compliance records on the line. That risk is usually the real reason a replacement gets shelved, not the product evaluation itself.

Complete Item & BOM History

Item masters, BOM structures, and every revision migrate with full parent-child relationships intact — not flattened into a snapshot.

Full ECO/ECR Audit Trail

Change history migrates with its original approval trail, timestamps, and attribution — the record an FDA or AS9100 auditor expects to see.

Attachments & CAD, Not Just Metadata

Drawings, models, and specifications move with the records they belong to, not as a separate cleanup project after go-live.

Integrations Stay Intact

Existing ERP, MES, and supplier connections are re-pointed, not rebuilt from scratch — migration day doesn't mean an operations freeze.
