Engineering Project Management for Connected Product Development
Connect projects, product data, and teams on one integrated platform
When Engineering Projects Are Held Back by Disconnected Information
Engineering projects involve countless moving parts—design reviews, engineering changes, supplier feedback, deadlines, and customer requirements. Yet critical information is often scattered across spreadsheets, emails, PLM systems, and project management tools. Project managers spend valuable time tracking down updates, while engineers work without knowing whether they're using the latest product information.
The result? Missed deadlines, duplicated work, delayed decisions, and projects that become harder to control as complexity grows.

Our Approach: Connecting Projects, Product Data, and People on One Native Platform
CONTACT Elements combines engineering project management with connected product data on a single platform. Unlike standalone project management tools, it links technical, scheduling, and organizational information in one shared environment, allowing engineering, project, and manufacturing teams to work from the same trusted source of truth.
Whether you use agile methods, traditional project planning, or a combination of both, our solution helps you improve collaboration, increase project transparency, and deliver development projects faster and more efficiently.

Your Benefits at a Glance
Traditional project management tools operate separately from engineering data. CONTACT Elements connects projects directly with product structures, documents, CAD models, and requirements, giving every team access to the same up-to-date information.
Disconnected communication slows projects down. Keep engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and project managers aligned with shared workspaces, digital workflows, and contextual collaboration.
Every project is different. Use milestones, Gantt charts, and structured planning alongside agile task boards and collaborative work management—on the same platform.
Unexpected issues can derail even the best plans. Real-time dashboards, project KPIs, and early warning indicators help you identify risks early and make informed decisions before problems escalate.
Track schedules, budgets, resources, deliverables, and project performance from one centralized environment. Gain the transparency you need to manage complex engineering programs with confidence.
Unlike standalone project management software, CONTACT Elements is built on the same platform as PLM, Manufacturing Execution, Service Lifecycle Management, and AI. This creates a connected Digital Thread that eliminates silos and supports every phase of the product lifecycle.
