Do the majority of customers use the platform for data management only? If so, where or what tool is the lifecycle of a physical product tracked? PLMs have many benefits and are ingrained in many companies although, for Process Manufacturing, PLMs don’t support recipe management, ingredients, or formulas very well. PLMs today are trying to add spec management modules into their systems although this is not the same as being built on a SDM model; the data PLMs capture is still static and not easily searchable. Unlike PLM systems, Specright starts with spec-level data, enabling you to easily search at the component level, create reports, and collaborate with suppliers. We live in the information age - PLMs were built to manage the process and static docs - but now companies should be looking to manage data first not process first.
