PLM (product lifecycle management) for Process Manufacturing is a suite of services targeted to the process industries including food, beverage, coatings and pharmaceuticals. The solution has been developed for the SMB process manufacturing market which is poorly supported by big ERP and PLM systems (SAP, Oracle, PTC and Dasault). SpecSafe and Recipe Builder are the initial modules for the PLM for Process suite.

SpecSafe provides a role based solution to support Collaborative Material Management, Supplier Specification Management, Product Specification Management and Retailer Specification Management. SpecSafe helps automate the management of:

• Product quality, safety and regulatory compliance

• Provides R&D alignment with sales and delivery
