PRO.FILE

PRO.FILE is a widely used PDM/PLM software which impresses with powerful features and simple and cost-saving configurability. Thus, it enjoys great popularity, especially among medium-sized enterprises. Discover the advantages and application areas of PRO.FILE here and find out more about CIDEON services.

Simple Configuration Instead of Expensive Programming

The introduction of PDM or PLM systems is often associated with a high level of programming effort, which can rarely be carried out by the customer himself and therefore entails high costs. Ongoing system updates become equally time-consuming and expensive due to the customer-specific programming.

With PRO.FILE, the focus is on strong functions and a high level of compatibility with other systems on the one hand, and on the simplest possible implementation on the other. The PDM/PLM solution can be configured step-by-step and can be used after only a few iteration steps. Additional, cost-intensive programming is not required, or only to a limited extent. This makes updates much less risky and less time-consuming.

Convince yourself of PRO.FILE in a personal consultation. We will be happy to support you with implementation, data migration and reliable support services.

Use Cases

Automate Processes – Minimize Errors

Manufacturing has used incorrect drawings. This has jeopardized the delivery date for your project and material costs have become much higher than planned. Avoid such scenarios by automating processes, article and BOM maintenance and always be on the right side (of the project). 

Eliminate Duplicates – Optimize Approvals

Duplicate drawings exist in different data silos on file servers. It is unclear which drawing is the definitive version. Use workflows approval to avoid such scenarios. This will eliminate the risk of false data being circulated.

Implementing Project Changes – Communicating Information

Project changes are not always perceived by everyone. This results in errors happening that require considerable effort to rectify. Use workflows to inform all relevant departments about changes and change requests.
