PLM Software Development
Give engineering and production one shared source of truth.
Why teams choose 247 Labs
We have delivered engineering data and product lifecycle software for manufacturers for more than a decade.
Clients value systems that fit real engineering workflows instead of forcing new habits.
Our team has shipped PLM systems, integrations, and custom platforms for industrial product teams.
Challenge Map
Fix the gaps that turn revisions into production delays.
PLM value disappears when CAD, BOMs, and production schedules live in separate silos, engineering changes don't reach the floor in time, or suppliers can't access data without exposing your IP.
CAD files, BOMs, and change orders live in silos with no shared record.
We build a centralized digital thread linking every drawing, ECO, and quality document to a single product record, eliminating version control confusion.
Core starting point for most PLM projects.Engineering changes don't reach procurement and production fast enough.
We engineer automated BOM updates and ECO workflows so changes route to the right teams instantly instead of sitting in email threads.
Useful where ECOs cause repeated delays.Suppliers need drawings and specs but you can't risk exposing your IP.
We build secure, role-based supplier portals that share approved data without giving external partners access to your full product record.
Best for teams collaborating with external vendors.Services
PLM services for manufacturers connecting engineering to production.
We scope PLM work around the gap slowing your product data down, whether that's version control, ECO routing, CAD integration, or supplier access.
PLM readiness assessment
Review current CAD, BOM, and change-order processes before scoping a PLM build.
Custom PLM development
Build a proprietary PLM system tailored to your engineering and production workflows.
CAD and ERP integration
Connect PLM to SolidWorks, AutoCAD, PTC Creo, and your downstream ERP or MES.
BOM management modules
Build BOM structures that update automatically across engineering, procurement, and manufacturing.
Supplier collaboration portals
Give external suppliers secure access to approved drawings without exposing your full IP.
ECO workflow automation
Automate engineering change order routing, approvals, and revision history tracking.
Case Studies
Manufacturing case studies with measurable outcomes.
Automating Sales and Order Management for Village Juicery's Growth
25% improvement in order processing
247Labs implemented an automated sales and order management platform that integrated seamlessly with Village Juicery's existing systems. The platform allowed for real-time order tracking, automated inventory management, and improved communication between staff and suppliers, ensuring a smooth workflow from order placement to delivery.

World Vision: a data validation engine for large-scale accuracy
Improved data accuracy at scale
247 Labs built a data validation engine to catch errors across large, complex datasets, the same discipline PLM needs to keep BOMs and engineering records accurate as products evolve.

The engineering, build, and access-control support needed for a working digital thread.
We help teams connect CAD, BOMs, and production data without compromising IP security or engineering speed.
Define the digital thread
We map CAD tools, BOM structure, and change processes before committing to a build.
- CAD and workflow mapping
- BOM structure review
- Build versus extend review
- IP and access planning
Build the connected record
We create the databases, APIs, and interfaces that link CAD, BOMs, and quality documents.
- Digital thread architecture
- CAD system integration
- Automated BOM updates
- ERP and MES connections
Keep changes moving
We design ECO routing and approval flows so changes reach the right teams fast.
- ECO routing and approvals
- Revision history tracking
- Notification workflows
- Exception handling
Protect your IP
We build role-based access and audit trails so sensitive product data stays controlled.
- Role-based access controls
- Supplier access boundaries
- Audit and change logging
- Encryption and retention
Tech Stack
PLM should connect design, BOM, and production data in one digital thread.
We build around the CAD and downstream systems that make PLM useful day to day.
247 Labs and their team were highly effective in their work, it is rare to find speed, detail and perfection, they have all three. Our team had an explosive idea, 247 Labs helped us get it off the ground.

Business Benefits
A working digital thread should speed up engineering changes, not slow them down.
The payoff comes from faster revisions and fewer costly production errors.
Faster time-to-market
Move from concept to production faster with one connected record instead of scattered files.
Fewer revision errors
Eliminate version control mistakes with a single source of truth for every CAD file and BOM.
Automated BOM accuracy
Keep bills of materials current across engineering, procurement, and manufacturing automatically.
Secure supplier collaboration
Share approved drawings with external vendors without exposing your full product record.
Cleaner compliance trails
Maintain audit-ready revision history for ISO 9001 and other quality standards.

Start Your PLM ProjectFAQ
Common questions before a PLM project starts.
Custom PLM development means engineering a platform that manages the entire product lifecycle, from design and engineering through manufacturing and disposal, creating one digital thread of truth.
Off-the-shelf PLM platforms are often bloated and expensive to license per user. Custom PLM matches your exact engineering workflows and you own the system with no recurring fees.
Yes. We build secure APIs to connect custom PLM with industry-standard CAD tools like SolidWorks and AutoCAD, along with your downstream ERP and MES systems.
We build automated ECO workflows with role-based approval routing. When a CAD file updates, the BOM updates automatically and the revision history logs for compliance.
