Technical Data Management
TDM keeps the technical data of your products, articles and batches in a single place and uses it to generate technical data sheets, processing data sheets and specifications: multilingual, approved, versioned and in your own design.
Optimize your technical documentation
With TDM, data sheets and specifications are built from one maintained database instead of Word files, Excel sheets and scattered folders.
Is your technical documentation facing these challenges too?
Are your product properties, characteristic values and limits spread across Word documents, Excel lists and folder structures that have grown over the years? Every change then has to be made in several places, and nobody can say for certain which version of a data sheet the customer is currently working with.
Do you create technical data sheets, processing data sheets and specifications separately, even though they are based on the same values? Maintaining data twice costs time, causes discrepancies between documents and turns every formulation change into another round of paperwork.
Do you supply customers in several countries and translate data sheets case by case? As soon as a value changes, the translation is out of date. Without approval status, versioning and permissions, every audit also turns into a hunt for evidence.
Are you planning to digitize your technical documentation but worried about a long project, high costs or a system that does not fit your structure? And are you looking for a solution that does more than store technical data, one that understands how formulation, batch and specification fit together?
Processes at a glance
Central data entry
Products, articles and batches are created once and are available to all documents and connected systems:
- Single point of information for properties and specifications
- Copy properties to other articles at the push of a button
- Replaces scattered Word and Excel files
Categories and catalogs
The data structure follows your requirements and can still be evaluated consistently:
- Organized into headings, properties and subheadings
- Numeric, alphanumeric or text values with variable decimal places
- Catalogs as the common basis for all documents
Technical data sheets (TDS)
The technical data sheet is generated directly from the catalog values, with no manual compiling:
- Automatic generation from the central database
- Multilingual output in your own design with your logo
- Available for sales, CRM and your website
Processing data sheets
Processing instructions are assembled from building blocks and formatted automatically:
- Compiled from the catalog instead of free text entry
- Mini tables and charts are placed automatically
- Consistent layout across all products
Specifications
Specifications are kept per article and business partner, for customers and suppliers alike:
- Tolerances and limits with traffic light logic
- Supplier reference for raw material purchasing
- Copy and adapt existing specifications efficiently
Approval, versioning and output
Every document carries its status, and output works individually or in batches:
- Approval status and process status per document
- Automatic versioning in all languages
- Print, send, on demand retrieval and batch generation
More precision and less duplicate work in technical documentation
TDM improves accuracy, speed and traceability in technical documentation. The system maps the entire path digitally: from entering a property and categorizing it in the catalog to the approved data sheet in the customer’s hands.
Because the technical data sheet, processing data sheet and specification come from the same database, a change takes effect in all documents at once. Duplicate maintenance disappears, and so do discrepancies between sales and quality documents.
A connected translation interface transfers the data into the languages you need, including linguistic adjustments and formatting for international markets. Permissions, approval status and automatic versioning record who approved which version and when. That makes audit preparation noticeably shorter.
In short: TDM turns scattered technical data into one maintained source from which every document is generated automatically.
