Product Data Management

Product data management (PDM) serves as a central knowledge repository for process and product history, and promotes integration and data exchange among all business users who interact with products — including project managers, engineers, sales people, buyers, and quality assurance teams.

Epicor offers software solutions for manufacturers that manage the information traditionally contained in engineering documents, plant floor routings, change orders, sales orders and quality documentation, within a single solution that shared across the enterprise. Epicor PDM handles all aspects of a product’s lifecycle, as well as enabling enterprises to control the enormous amount of electronic documents that they produce — supporting collaboration throughout the value chain.
