Your Tools Are Strong — PALMA Makes Them Work Together

Your enterprise tools are strong on their own, but disconnected they create misalignment, delays, and inconsistent product data.

Here’s what typically goes wrong — and how PALMA fixes it:

Engineering works in isolation → PALMA gives full architecture and portfolio visibility.

Sales uses outdated or incomplete rules → PALMA provides accurate, validated configuration logic.

Operations lack reliable product inputs → PALMA syncs architecture with ERP/MES for precise planning.

Executives lack clarity → PALMA delivers a single, portfolio-wide source of truth.

Teams use different data sources → PALMA centralizes data, logic, and configuration for all.

Ihre Domäne spezifischen Systeme sind stark – PALMA bringt sie zusammen

Ihre Unternehmenssysteme sind einzeln leistungsfähig – doch ohne Verbindung entstehen Abstimmungsprobleme, Verzögerungen und inkonsistente Produktdaten.

Typische Herausforderungen – und wie PALMA sie löst:

Die Konstruktion arbeitet isoliert → PALMA schafft vollständige Transparenz über Produktarchitektur und Portfolio.

Der Vertrieb arbeitet mit veralteten oder unvollständigen Regeln → PALMA stellt präzise und validierte Konfigurationslogik bereit.

Der Produktion fehlen verlässliche Produktdaten → PALMA liefert konsistente, architekturbasierte Daten für sichere Planung.

Führungskräften fehlt Transparenz → PALMA schafft eine zentrale, portfolioübergreifende „Single Source of Truth“.

Teams arbeiten mit unterschiedlichen Datenquellen → PALMA zentralisiert Daten, Logik und Konfiguration abteilungsübergreifend für alle Bereiche.

The Silo Challenge in Modern Manufacturing

Your Systems Are Powerful — But Disconnected

Manufacturing companies often rely on best-in-class tools across engineering, sales, and operations. But those systems weren’t built to talk to each other.

The result?

Engineering teams finalize details without visibility into market demands.
Sales configure offers without understanding the product logic.
Operations plan manufacturing with outdated or incomplete data.
Strategy is made in the dark — without a shared view of the portfolio.

This fragmented approach leads to errors, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities.

Mehrwert demonstrieren

Gemeinsam zeigen wir den Mehrwert von PALMA auf und identifizieren die wichtigsten Anwendungsfälle für Ihr Unternehmen – häufig im Zusammenhang mit dem Aufbau von Produktarchitekturen und strategischer Planung.

2.

Integrationsstrategie

Erfolgreiche PALMA-Projekte verfolgen das Ziel, eine ergänzende Lösung zu schaffen, die sich nahtlos in Ihre bestehenden IT-Systeme und Plattformen integriert.

3.

Gemeinsames Verständnis

Wir schaffen eine Lösung, die allen Produktbeteiligten – von Führungskräften bis zu Ingenieur:innen – ermöglicht, den gesamten Produktkontext zu verstehen und fundierte, abgestimmte Entscheidungen zu treffen.

„Was uns auszeichnet, ist nicht nur, dass wir eine Plattform anbieten – sondern dass wir unseren Kunden helfen, den schwierigsten Teil zu lösen: Ein durchgehendes Informationsmodell für Konfigurierbarkeit zu schaffen. So wird Configure to Order (CTO) zur Realität und bleibt nicht nur ein Schlagwort.“
Fredrik Erbing, Geschäftsführer, Modular Management

How PALMA Complements Your Existing Systems

PALMA doesn’t replace your tools — it connects and strengthens them with an architecture-aware, portfolio-wide source of truth. Here's how PALMA integrates with and enhances your current system architecture landscape:

System Type	Core Purpose	How PALMA Strengthens It
PLM Systems 3DX, Windchill, Teamcenter	Component-focused engineering. Manages product data, CAD files, and technical documentation for detailed items.	Broadens perspective to encompass the entire portfolio. Coordinates R&D resources to focus on the most crucial innovations.
CRM/CPQ Tacton, Epicor, Logik.io	Sales process management, quotation creation, pricing negotiations, and customer journey engagement.	Handles complex products effortlessly. Provides accurate configuration models and can integrate with or replace sub-par product selectors.
ERP/MES SAP, Dynamics, AS400	Production emphasis. Material flow management, manufacturing planning, routing, and supply chain details.	Offers comprehensive strategic planning. Analyzes proposed changes alongside ERP data for portfolio profitability insights.
Requirements Management Jira, Polarion, Doors	Collects and organizes requirements but doesn't address why variance is needed in the portfolio.	Links customer needs to product features. Uses models to show real-world functionality and evaluates organizational readiness.
