Globalization and product complexity increase supply chain complexity. Globally dispersed product design teams increasingly include suppliers. As suppliers assume responsibility for greater portions of heavy equipment products, solutions that foster tight, seamless supplier integration are key to meeting challenges such as increased product complexity and compressed product cycles.

Suppliers must interact with all aspects of your business, including purchasing, engineering, compliance, quality, and manufacturing, to increase productivity and reduce the risk of recalls and non-compliance. Our Supply Chain Collaboration solution for the Heavy Equipment Industry provides an easy-to-use, secure platform for interacting with suppliers, even those outside of your PLM environment.
