Your Business Before and After PLM Implementation

A clear view of the most common challenges in traditional operations—and how modern PLM systems turn them into advantages.

Before PLM Implementation After PLM Implementation
Information is scattered across folders, emails, and personal computers. There is no single source of truth. All data is managed centrally—accessible in real time to every authorized team member.
Frequent mistakes due to working on outdated or incorrect versions of documents and drawings. There is always a single, up-to-date version—everyone works with the same data and it’s clear who made what changes, and when.
Approval processes and information handoffs between departments are slow and inefficient—delays are common. Automated workflows and digital approvals—information flows faster and bottlenecks disappear.
Manual processes, data re-entry, and excessive paperwork—increase the risk of human error. Routine tasks are automated, systems are integrated, and digital archives replace paperwork—resulting in fewer errors.
It’s difficult to pinpoint responsibility for mistakes or changes—there’s no clear record of who changed what, and when. A complete change and decision history is available at a click—ensuring maximum transparency and accountability.
Planning for new products and changes is slow, and teams are often out of sync. Faster planning, more agile responses, and full team alignment through a unified platform.
High costs due to repeated work, mistakes, and overlapping activities across teams. Costs are reduced thanks to efficient collaboration, elimination of duplicate efforts, and process automation.
Compliance and audit processes are time-consuming—often requiring extra hours and resources. All required documentation is generated and archived automatically—making compliance and audits faster and easier.
Management makes decisions based on incomplete or outdated information. Decisions are made using timely and accurate data—driving sustainable growth and development.

Why is PLM Implementation Different from Traditional Software Deployments?

Unlike typical “IT” implementations that focus solely on installing software, PLM implementation is a true business process transformation.
With PLM, the key is to adapt the software to fit your existing (or optimized) processes not the other way around.
At PLM Dynamics, we take a “consulting first” approach: we start by listening and mapping your real-world workflows, then tailor the system to your unique needs.

Key Differences:

  • Process-centric, not just technology-centric:
    The goal isn’t “just another piece of software,” but a platform that connects all teams and eliminates manual, invisible, or parallel workflows.
  • Iterative implementation:
    Each phase delivers measurable improvements you don’t wait for a “big bang” at the end.
  • Integration with existing systems:
    PLM must work seamlessly alongside ERP, CAD, MES, and other systems integration isn’t optional, it’s the standard.
  • User and management training:
    Without thorough training and knowledge transfer, no digital transformation is sustainable.

That’s why PLM Dynamics combines rigorous business consulting principles, detailed process mapping, technical expertise, and a commitment to user training ensuring every phase is fully transparent and delivers measurable value.

Phases of Professional PLM Implementation and Customization

Every implementation is tailored to your business, but our proven model is always the foundation—from initial analysis to ongoing optimization.

Phase What happens in this phase? Specific value for your company
Process & Needs Analysis In-depth mapping of existing processes, identification of bottlenecks, issues, and opportunities. Gathering input from all key users. You get a clear “X-ray” of your current state—where resources are wasted, duplicate activities occur, and what’s holding back your growth.
Selecting the Optimal Solution We recommend the most suitable PLM software and modules (or their combination), with detailed PoC demonstrations and pilot scenarios based on your real use cases. You avoid budget overruns and unnecessary complexity. You get a solution tailored to your specific challenges.
Customization We develop and configure the system to fit your workflows: customizing user interfaces, reports, automations, and integrations with ERP/CAD/MES/CRM systems. The system “works for you,” not the other way around—every function is relevant and used in practice, with no unnecessary user burden.
Implementation & Integration Technical installation, integration with other systems, data migration, and testing with real users. All teams and systems operate as one, with secure data exchange—no duplication or manual data entry.
User Training & Knowledge Transfer Hands-on training with real-world scenarios, “train the trainer” approach, and detailed user manuals and guides. Quick adoption of the new system, empowered users, and visible efficiency gains right from the start—with minimal resistance to change.
Support, Development & Optimization Ongoing KPI monitoring, proactive technical support, continuous system upgrades, and development of new features as your business grows and evolves. Your system remains up-to-date and fully utilized, with a reliable partner by your side for every new challenge.

Why is customization often critical to success?

Every company has its own unique “business DNA” processes, logic, language, integrations, and specific challenges. That’s why, when it comes to PLM implementation, there’s no “plug & play” approach that delivers maximum ROI.

Our philosophy is simple: the software must be adapted to the real needs of users, not the other way around. Customization is an investment in your future productivity and competitiveness.

Typical examples of what and how we customize:

  • User Interface (UI/UX):
    Menus, dashboards, and tools tailored to users’ daily habits and the specific tasks of your industry.
  • Reports and Analytics:
    Creation of custom reports for management, production, quality control, or logistics based on your actual business needs.
  • Process Logic:
    Automating rules, approval workflows, notifications, and inter-module connections (WMS-MES, TMS-ERP, etc.).
  • Integration with Other Systems:
    Seamless connections with ERP, CAD, CRM, APS, or legacy systems. Data is exchanged automatically—no manual input required.
  • Specialized Functionality:
    Development of additional modules, fields, automations, or digital assistants that support your unique business model.
