Efficiency Through Data
What is Product Data Management (PDM)?
Product Data Management (PDM) is a foundational system that helps food & beverage, cosmetics and personal care, and specialty chemical companies manage product-related technical data across the lifecycle of a product. From artwork and specifications to formulas, bills of materials (BOMs), and compliance documentation, PDM centralizes critical product information in a single source of truth.
Modern product development demands version control, data traceability, and real-time collaboration. PDM delivers these by creating a secure and structured repository where R&D, regulatory, quality, and operations teams work with the same up-to-date information—regardless of time zone or location.
Smarter Product Data
Simplify Specs and Approvals
PDM software enhances operational efficiency by enabling:
• Automated workflows for specification approvals and regulatory checks
• Cross-functional data visibility across departments
• Accurate data handoffs between PLM and ERP systems
• Faster, traceable changes to formulas, materials, and packaging
As product innovation accelerates, PDM becomes essential to building safer, more compliant, and more competitive products—while keeping teams connected and informed.
