Design and develop better products.

Datastay makes it easy to turbo charge product design and development by giving your team collaborative control over how your product bill-of-materials are created, modified and shared. Plus, with one centralized bill-of-materials, you'll be able to capture more input from team members and external partners earlier in your development cycle.

Easily define and mange your product structure

Ensuring that everyone works from the same bill-of-materials is key to improving the accuracy of your designs. With Datastay, doing so is extremely simple. Easily add components or sub-assemblies to your product structure. Datastay will take care of pulling in any related items and rolling up any costing. You will immediately have a 360 degree view of your product design - on a single page, formatted so that its extremely easy to understand and review. You can quickly assess the decisions you've made and the effect of any changes you intend to make. 

Compare bill-of-materials across revisions in real-time

Bill-of-materials are often changing. With Datastay you can see changes across your bill-of-materials in real-time. Its powerful redlining functionality allows you to quickly and carefully assess changes across your product designs to help your team see where you've come from, and where you might be going.

Quickly see all the assemblies an item is used in

With Datastay its extremely easy to find what assemblies an item is used in. In fact it only takes one click. You can immediately see each assembly an item is part of. Plus, because Datastay's where-used functionality provides what's called a 'nested implosion', you can even see the where-used relationships that exist all the way up to the top-assembly. This allows you to easily determine what the affect of your changes might be to the parent assembly, and the rest of the way up the chain.

Collaboratively manage and maintain all sourcing data

Sourcing decisions directly impact your product design and production efforts. That's why you need a good handle on this part of product development. Datastay for PLM integrates your sourcing choices directly into the bill-of-materials so you can quickly assess the impacts of different supply choices.

Tailor how your Bill-of-Materials are presented to your users

You benefit from giving bill-of-material access to everyone that participates in your product development efforts. Some team members and partners, however shouldn't have access to bill-of-material data like costing. With Datastay you can easily hide columns that certain team members should not have access to. This truly allows you to maximize the exposure of your product development efforts.
