No Silos. CAD-agnostic. All Systems Go.
Most PLM systems force you into rigid workflows, tool lock-ins, or endless integrations. CONTACT Elements is different. It’s a composable, CAD-agnostic platform that connects your entire product ecosystem – from CAD and BOM to Projects, IoT, and MES – without the complexity. With pre-configured templates for shop floor execution, CAD data management, and process automation, it helps you move faster, collaborate more freely, and build without barriers.
PLM That Actually Delivers
CONTACT Elements delivers more than traditional PLM. It manages the full lifecycle of your product data – from requirements and multi-CAD models to BOMs, change management, and release control – on a single, open platform. Eliminate silos, collaborate across departments and suppliers, and maintain complete traceability, all while reducing complexity and IT overhead.

Focus on Innovation, not Implementation – Flip the PLM Cost Equation
Traditional PLM burns budget and time on setup, with 80% of effort going to deployment. CONTACT Elements flips that equation – only 20% goes to implementation, while 80% drives innovation. With ready-to-use templates and a composable architecture, your team gets results faster – and with less overhead.
