New Implementations

Live in 12 weeks, not 12 months.

From-scratch PLM implementations average 400–600+ hours of consulting spread over months to a year. We flipped the model: start from a pre-configured system built on best practices, get your team trained on it fast, then shape it around your business — because Pro.File is designed to be adjusted and configured as you go.

Our philosophy

Configure against reality, not a requirements document.

A system you can see, click, and challenge produces better decisions than any workshop whiteboard. Our implementations put a real, working Pro.File environment in front of your team early. From there, every configuration choice is made against live experience — and because the platform is built to be reconfigured, nothing you decide early locks you in later.

No bulky discovery phase — less time discussing and analyzing, more time learning and doing
Don't re-invent the wheel — our Turnkey starting point distills the common denominators of hundreds of complex implementations
Working system early — your team learns on the real platform, not slideware
Iterative configuration — adjust structures, workflows, and rules as understanding grows
CAD & ERP connectivity — integrations planned in from day one, including Epicor ERP
Training built in — admins and end users are enabled as the system takes shape

How it runs

A straight line from kickoff to go-live.

Install & Foundation

We stand up your Pro.File environment — on-premise or hosted — and establish the technical foundation: users, security, CAD connectors, and the integration groundwork for your ERP.

Training on the Out-of-the-Box Configuration Turnkey: go-live in ~12 weeks total

With our Turnkey offering, a pre-built, ready-to-use starting configuration means we jump from installation straight to training — a Turnkey implementation out of the box takes about 12 weeks, and that time primarily consists of training for your teams. This is where most traditional projects are still scheduling discovery workshops.

Iterate & Tailor

Now that your team knows what the system can do, we refine it together: your part classifications, your workflows, your release processes, your reports. Short, focused cycles — each one visible in the live system.

Integrate & Go Live

CAD and ERP integrations are completed and validated, legacy data is migrated with the Cre8tive Import Tool, and you go live with a system your team already knows how to use.

Grow

Go-live is the start, not the finish. Tier 1 support, managed services, and the ever-growing Turnkey PLM Solutions line keep your platform improving year over year.

Choose your starting point

Three ways in. One platform underneath.

Tailored solutions to fit your evolving business needs — with the flexibility to start small and expand when you're ready.

DMS Essentials

An entry-level solution focused on fundamental document and business process management: CAD & Office integrations, revision control, workflows, and secure storage. A lower-cost, easy entry point — and the ideal stepping stone to full PLM.
