Dear all,

I want to buy a PLM software. We as a company are new to PLM and have less budget allocated for software. I want to know which PLM software will be good for beginners and some one who has around 250 components only.

Software deliverable:

1. Drawing database and revision control.

2. BOM management and revision control.

3. ECM/ ECO.

4. Gantt chart

5. Product status option.

6. Link with solidworks software.

We do not have inhouse manufacturing but testing only.

I just found Duro on G2.com. So that's one possibility. Certainly more affordable than the big PLM systems. https://www.openbom.com/ is another idea.

Hi Nikhil,

I know you said you have limited budget, but if you are looking for a product that ticks ALL those boxes and is already part of the SolidWorks Family then you really should take a look at SolidWorks Manage. File Management is taken care of by SolidWorks PDM Professional and then Manage layers on top adding Process capability ( e.g. ECM / ECO). BOM Management (records and file based, simple to copy ,modify, restructure - and manage within a Process). Project Management (planning (Gannt Chart as ell as other views), resources, tasks etc) plus Reporting and Dashboards for your 'status' updates. Of course, because it uses SolidWorks PDM underneath, your links to SolidWorks are best in class!

We have a short video introduction on our website which discusses each of the above.

SOLIDWORKS Manage

There is obviously more of an investment than perhaps some of the other offerings you may come across, but I would certainly say that having everything under one roof when it comes to ongoing 'updates' and 'support' is a lot easier when talking to one company and not several

Good luck!
