SAP Product Lifecycle Management
At Q2factory, we understand Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) as a holistic approach that enables the enterprise-wide management and control of all product data and processes. The digital thread starts with the first idea and goes through product development, manufacturing, service, and ends with the discontinuation of a product. Our PLM vision is based on digitized and efficient PLM processes that result in high-quality and seamless master data. Together with our partners, we develop and implement customized, future-oriented solutions that support your requirements and business processes.

Success Factors for a Future-Proof SAP PLM Strategy
In our consulting approach, your business processes are always the focus. When implementing SAP PLM, we not only consider the design and product development processes but the entire product lifecycle. We also take into account the resulting master data from logistics modules and their implications on the logistics and business processes in SAP. With our consulting team, we provide expertise for all SAP modules. Sustainable success is based on a comprehensive and cross-cutting view of information, material, and value flows.
