Meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations

In product development projects, structured, complete, and traceable documentation is essential. Yet many companies struggle with exactly that. Information is scattered across multiple systems, traceable processes are lacking, and decision-making foundations are not sufficiently documented. To meet both regulatory requirements and customer expectations while preserving knowledge over the long term, project structures, responsibilities, and documents must be efficiently linked. Discover how you can easily and reliably provide your project, product, and results documentation with CONTACT Elements Documentation.

Define project structures with project and document templates

Effective project documentation requires accessible information – but such information is often not systematically captured or is stored only in local directories. You can address this by defining project structures using best-practice templates. Integrate project artifacts such as checklists, forms, and other document templates directly into your projects. Workflows and tasks help structure processes: assign tasks to roles, and later to responsible team members, ensuring a smooth transition from planning to execution. Resulting documents ‒ with all relevant information such as status, changes, product references, and metadata ‒ are stored within the project structure and are immediately available.

Generate documentation directly from the project structure

The Single Source of Truth principle significantly simplifies documentation: when you record completion statuses, evaluations, and decisions, make planning changes, work through checklists, and store documents, everything happens within a single system. This means all relevant data and documents are available in one central source ‒ directly within the project. As the project progresses, documentation grows automatically thanks to this centralized data foundation. This allows you to compile documentation without time-consuming rework and generate it directly from the project structure.

Intelligent document logistics: organizing and utilizing enterprise-wide know-how easily and securely

Managing, utilizing and ensuring the availability of documents are key tasks in any company. In view of the vast number of documents, interfaces and systems involved, conventional archives on network drives or in e-mail systems lead to a dead end. CONTACT’s document management system provides a clear overview using intelligent document logistics – even in complex processes – while at the same time supporting team work.
