SolidPartners Announces Immediate Early Adopter Availability of New Cost Effective PLM Solution for Small and Medium Sized Businesses

SolidPartners announces immediate early adopter availability of 4G:PLM. 

4G:PLM is a Simple, Powerful, and Affordable Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution specifically developed for small to medium-sized (SMB) manufacturing companies who need tools to manage their Product Structure (BOM), Approved Manufactures Lists (AML) and change process (ECO/ECN)

4G:PLM provides advanced PLM capabilities while decreasing software, implementation, training and on-going maintenance costs typical with existing PLM solutions.

4G:PLM is a natural fit for small and medium sized companies struggling to  justify the high up-front software, implementation and training costs associated with existing PLM products.  It enables companies to realize the benefits of PLM at a fraction of the cost of existing tools.   The reduction in software, implementation and training costs will have an immediate positive impact on the ROI from implementing PLM. 

4G:PLM is already in use at customer sites in the US and is now available for broad evaluation and implementation by early adopters. 

Dave Snyder, Supply Chain Director at Miselu, a 4G:PLM Early Adopter says “4G:PLM is hands down the simplest, most intuitive PLM system I have come across at a far more attractive price point than any other software package available on the market.  The SolidPartners team has tremendous depth of experience in the PLM space, is highly responsive, customer focused and a pleasure to work with.”

Key features of the product include:

  • Support for both cloud-based and on premise implementations
  • Full multi-platform desktop support (Windows and MAC)
  • BOM centric Product Lifecycle Management tools
  • Full Workflow automation
  • Configuration Management
  • Simple to implement and use
  • Robust supply chain management
  • Robust security model including supply chain collaboration
  • Priced within the reach of even small to medium sized businesses.

Additional information on 4G:PLM can be found at: PLM for Small and Medium Sized Companies.

General market release of 4G:PLM is planned for Summer 2014.
