GUGLER Water Turbines has been a trisoft customer and PRO.FILE user since 2018. Solid Edge (CAD), Microsoft Office and abas (ERP) are coupled.

The challenges

  • Finding a PDM or DMS system that allows a coupling to abas.
  • Data uncertainty due to the Windows folder environment and missing permissions. The result: risk of data loss, the risk of working with wrong or invalid data, and lost time.
  • Reducing duplicates among parts and CAD models.
  • Version management, so that changes are traceable.

The solution

PDM and DMS with PRO.FILE: managing CAD models and drawings, e-mails, procurement documents such as inquiries, orders, delivery notes, invoices and order confirmations, plus data sheets for parts, specifications, protocols, calculations, deviation reports, tenders, bank documents, packing lists and certificates.

The result

  • Increased efficiency: improved and simplified collaboration between departments and a link between the programs they use.
  • Using synergies: PRO.FILE makes it easy to find existing parts and documents and avoids duplicates through multiple linking.
  • Version control: changes are traceable at a glance.
  • Job server: automatic creation of neutral data such as PDF or DXF and other file formats the CAD system can generate.
  • Document status at a glance: it is easy to see what state a document is in and who needs to act - and the system works through tasks automatically on that basis.
  • Independence: product training enables the key user to extend PRO.FILE independently and adapt it as needed.

The decision for PRO.FILE and trisoft

  • The many years of experience in PDM and DMS.
  • The tailor-made solutions and process development for coordinated collaboration between responsibilities.
  • Making an interface to the abas ERP system possible.
