Features to support your operations

Vault Connector

This native connector automates the synchronization of items and bills of materials (BOMs), attaches neutral-format files, and matches attributes between Vault Professional and Fusion Manage. Information remains current across both systems.

New product introduction

Stay aligned on tasks and deliverables needed to define, develop, and launch a new product. Configurable project templates, standardized phase-gate milestones, and automated workflows help reduce delays so you can get to market faster.

BOM management

Configure and manage items and structured BOMs in a centralized system. Revision control ensures teams work with up-to-date information. Maintain comprehensive BOMs with information for purchasing, production, manufacturing, and more.

Change management

Manage changes efficiently, including change requests, change orders, change tasks, electronic approvals, and problem reports with automated processes. Get full traceability for all activities for real-time KPI analysis and audit documentation.

Quality management

Improve product quality and traceability with automated processes to manage non-conformance, return merchandise authorizations (RMA), corrective/preventative actions (CAPA), failure mode/effect analysis (FMEA), and supplier quality action reports (SCAR).

Supplier collaboration

Stay connected to your supply chain with anytime, anywhere access to the information your extended stakeholders need for quoting, procurement, and product development processes. Dynamic workflows enable secure collaboration and real-time data.
