Vault PLM - Professional

Overview
Vault PLM – Professional combines Autodesk Vault Professional’s robust product data management (PDM) capabilities with powerful product lifecycle management (PLM) features. By unifying engineering data, business processes, and enterprise-wide collaboration in one connected solution, Vault PLM – Professional streamlines how teams manage product information from concept through design, manufacturing, and beyond. This integration helps organizations reduce silos, accelerate approvals, maintain compliance, and bring higher-quality products to market faster.

Key Features

• Centralized PDM & PLM: Leverage Vault Professional’s secure data vault for CAD files and documents, alongside full lifecycle management for design changes, quality processes, and project milestones.
• End-to-End Workflows: Automate approvals, change orders, and other essential processes, linking engineering and non-engineering teams to a single source of truth.
• BOM & Change Management: Generate and maintain accurate bills of materials (BOMs) directly from design data, while governing updates and revisions with controlled change processes.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Engage stakeholders across procurement, quality, marketing, and beyond, ensuring everyone has access to the latest product data, tasks, and status updates.
• Scalability & Integration: Easily scale across multiple sites and connect with ERP or other enterprise systems through out-of-the-box or customizable integrations.

Benefits

• Reduced Errors & Rework: Unified data management and clear version control help minimize duplicate records, inconsistencies, and costly design mistakes.
• Faster Time-to-Market: Streamlined workflows and transparency into product development stages cut down approval times and reduce bottlenecks.
• Improved Quality & Compliance: Enforce standardized processes for quality checks and regulatory documentation, ensuring a traceable audit trail and fewer production issues.
• Enhanced Team Alignment: Real-time access to the same data—whether CAD models or project tasks—keeps distributed teams and external partners on the same page.
• Lower Operational Costs: Automating routine tasks, reducing manual data entry, and improving decision-making with accurate, up-to-date information all lead to higher efficiency.

Who It’s For

• Engineering & Design Departments needing a single environment for secure CAD file management and sophisticated change control.
• Project & Program Managers seeking consolidated oversight of product development milestones, approvals, and resource allocation.
• Manufacturers & Supply Chain Teams wanting accurate, real-time BOMs and streamlined collaboration between engineering and production.
• Quality Assurance & Compliance Officers requiring robust traceability and standardized workflows to meet industry or regulatory standards.
• IT & Systems Integrators looking to extend enterprise data management solutions beyond the design office and into cross-departmental workflows.
