Single Source of Truth - GAIN your PLM
Central repository - the only way product lifecycle management works.
A single source of truth is the philosophy of providing a centralized point of reference for all information and data from as many source systems as possible for the entire organization. In this context, GAIN Collaboration becomes the single source of truth, with a focus on the accuracy and timeliness of all information. And not just for CAD files and their accompanying documentation, but for every file from Office documents to digital personnel files.
Every location, every department, every team and, if required, every external service provider is given rule-based access to the PDM system. This set of rules ensures that only what should be seen is seen. GAIN Collaboration provides specialized state-of-the-art functionalities for each user group in order to automate workflows, such as approval processes, and entire process chains consistently across all instances involved.
The GAIN Software team supports customers from the initial consolidation of their data to the routine recording and control of new information from their day-to-day business. This process is methodically and technically complex, and is implemented with over 40 years of expertise to ensure complete customer satisfaction. The result is obvious: there is only one correct answer to the question of the correct file in its current released state.
Top performance companies do not only use PDM systems in design.
Instead of thinking in terms of self-sufficient departments: channel information all the way to the customer.
Studies have shown that successful companies network all departments via a single source of truth. Of course, this also makes sense: only when product lifecycle management is practiced as a concept throughout the entire company can you overcome departmental walls, create end-to-end processes and sustainably improve your value chain. Central access through centralized storage of your data is of central importance here.
Why a PDM system at all? And for which files?
In short: for all files. The decisive factor here is not the size of a company.
The four most frequently mentioned hurdles that good PDM software can help to overcome in the long term:
We can't find the right information.
48%
We waste too much time searching for data.
45%
We often have to rework.

Highlights
Clearly structured areas on all interfaces with full control using just a few tools. You always have an overview of all important information thanks to easy-to-understand icons and consistent terminology.
Quality management in accordance with DIN ISO : 9001. Revisions and approval processes can be carried out individually for individual documents as well as for entire technical documentation. Any changes can therefore be tracked at any time and revision statuses can be restored via the change history.
Summarized, modular and structured parts lists. GAIN Collaboration automatically imports parts lists from CAD systems and enables them to be displayed as a summarized parts list. Parts lists can be filtered and exported automatically if required, for example to update the master data of an item in an ERP system when the status changes.
Set and forget. Entire process chains can be conveniently automated. Even complex rule systems can be easily mapped in the editor and enable the definition of consistent workflows across all departmental boundaries.
Your system counts. The number generator integrated in GAIN Collaboration ensures the uniqueness of filed documents. Do you have special requirements regarding the type and method of indexing? GAIN Collaboration also shines here with a great deal of flexibility.
Can also be used as an editorial system. Use GAIN Collaboration as a fully-fledged document management system so that you always have your technical documentation to hand for the corresponding components and products. Documentation can be collated automatically.
You only see what you really need. GAIN Collaboration can be individually configured using graphical menus: Windows, input masks, filters, property matching, toolboxes, menus, search masks, status management, license and update management, folder structures and much more.
Every change is traceable. GAIN Collaboration logs every time a file or document is edited in the history entry. Thanks to this process control, you always know where a document comes from, where it was copied to and who edited it and when.
Consistent terminology. In order to find data via a classification system, standardized terms and characteristics must be used. GAIN Collaboration suggests standard terms already in use in a selection dialog. These can be defined as standard terminology if desired. GAIN Collaboration can translate the standardized terminology into different languages using an integrated dictionary.
Real-time synchronization of all information. Who has which document or which file in which status: GAIN Collaboration provides real-time information on the status of processing and release and provides information in a matrix on the use in parts lists, assemblies and referencing.
Use and referencing in assemblies. GAIN Collaboration shows exactly which component or article is used or referenced in which product or assembly groups and even projects. This means that all elements affected by a change are known at all times.
Depending on your preference, it can be more relaxing to look at dark surfaces, especially during long meetings. In GAIN Collaboration, you can easily choose between light and dark surfaces.
Perfect interaction with CAx systems. To ensure that files are protected at all times, GAIN Collaboration works according to the check-in / check-out procedure. The document is loaded onto a workstation for processing, after which GAIN Collaboration transfers the file back to the archive. Direct access to archived documents is only possible via GAIN Collaboration.
Access management via company roles. Who can access which file or document from where and in which status, who can complete approval processes. Access rights can be controlled quickly and easily via user management.
GAIN Collaboration offers countless detailed solutions, the listing of which would go beyond any scope here. Simply contact us, a presentation says more than 1000 words.

Modules
LOCATION networks your company. Perhaps your factory is located in a neighboring country? Network specific locations, divisions and even suppliers.
JOBSERVER for full continuity of processes - without blocking workstations. Complex standard macros and updating of metadata through all files, with all processes being outsourced to dedicated computers. This means that standalone computers always remain fully operational for daily tasks. The result: time savings and even faster ROI.
PLOTMANAGER controls complex printing requirements, individually for each object and each plotter.
Time-intensive processes are outsourced to dedicated servers so as not to block local workstations.
IMPEX exports your files for processing in your partners' CAD systems - something that is by no means a matter of course. Files edited by suppliers or external designers can then be re-imported into Collaboration. The CAD systems must be identical.
REPORT exports your parts lists for editing in the appropriate Excel template or as a PDF.
ENF is the module for the export of neutral formats. It exports the neutral formats defined for different document types on the basis of predefined configurations. The module also offers extensive customization options through automation and workflows.
Classification makes it possible to structure product data according to your own classification system. This can save an immense amount of time, as a synchronous structure can be created for suppliers or end customers.
BARCODE enables product information and metadata to be captured using a barcode scanner.
TASKS is a simple but highly efficient extension for GAIN Collaboration that can be used to plan and control tasks for dedicated components or entire assemblies. Service teams also have the option of creating timesheets for field work.
Modules specially designed for Inventor
INVENTOR LINKS removes orphaned links from Inventor documents. Autodesk Inventor data may contain design-related links or OLE links to other files. These are non-CAD files such as images, PDF or other neutral files. It is now possible that such links are moved or even deleted consciously or unconsciously in the course of everyday design work or over the years.
Hands on: GC Inventor Tools
INVENTOR TEXT saves you a lot of time by updating title blocks in drawings across all files. This also includes worksheet formats, margins, sketch symbols and much more. In contrast to similar tools, this module also works in batch mode: the title blocks of an entire batch of Inventor drawings can be adapted in one go. The values (iProperties) in the drawings naturally remain unchanged.
