Functional description

Items: Documents and Parts

Documents and parts are the heart of any PLM system. PDXpert PLM lets you create a virtually unlimited number of  document types and part categories, custom numbering and revisioning formats, and in addition to the extensive set of standard properties your own custom attributes.

While many PLM systems create an artificial barrier between items that your organization manages and those of other organizations, PDXpert PLM unifies these into a single interface that lets you reference any item in your database within any other item, regardless of owning organization.
