Develop products more efficiently with an end-to-end PLM system
With CONTACT Elements, you create a consistent data foundation that accelerates processes, enhances collaboration, and lays the foundation for industrial AI.
From data silos to digital thread
In most companies, knowledge is spread across disconnected systems – from emails and Excel spreadsheets to CAD tools. This makes collaboration more difficult, slows down processes, and leads to errors. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) connects all this data in a seamless digital thread – from the initial idea to service. This consistent data foundation improves collaboration across departments, accelerates processes, and makes changes traceable.
CONTACT Elements provides the technological foundation for this: an open, modular platform that can be tailored precisely to your requirements. This enables you to bring products to market faster and more cost-effectively.
Your benefits
- Support the entire product lifecycle and reduce time to market with PLM
- Enhance collaboration and share product data and knowledge
- Leverage integrated AI capabilities at every stage of the product lifecycle
- Manage projects efficiently and deliver results faster
- Develop more sustainable products
Connect your product development
CONTACT Elements connects information across the entire product lifecycle and integrates third-party systems – from ERP systems and engineering solutions to software development tools. This creates a seamless digital thread from development to after sales and lays the foundation for software-defined products. Automated workflows reduce errors, accelerate processes, and free your teams to focus on higher-value tasks.

Foster collaboration, share product knowledge
CONTACT Elements creates a single source of truth that makes knowledge centrally available and enables seamless collaboration across departments. This reduces the effort involved in searching for information and coordinating work, helping your employees achieve better results together. With personalized mobile apps, they can access the PLM solution anytime, anywhere.

“Following the PLM implementation, it is already evident that we are approximately 20 percent faster in project execution because the processes are more seamlessly integrated.”
