Efficiently implement and seamlessly document technical changes

With CONTACT Elements' Engineering Change Management, you significantly accelerate the implementation of technical changes. Digital workflows and customizable templates simplify the modeling of your change processes and ensure automatic, traceable documentation. You can manage changes to the order-neutral Digital Master and the specific Digital Twin separately, but always synchronized. Thus, thanks to the Closed-Loop methodology, new requirements from the field are not only precisely incorporated into product improvement, but they are also audit-proof documented in the product's lifecycle record.
