SOLIDWORKS Manage is a PLM solution that offers robust project management, advanced item and BOM management, powerful process automation, and insightful business analytics.
Advanced Solution to Manage Items, Processes, Bills of Material, and Projects
SOLIDWORKS Manage brings advanced data management tools to your business, and its deep integration with SOLIDWORKS CAD and PDM allows you to build upon your existing engineering tools and processes. The software’s powerful item and BOM management capabilities expand your product definition beyond CAD models, and flexible analytic features such as dashboards and reports deliver valuable product, project, and process insights.
With SOLIDWORKS Manage, you gain more control and visibility to your engineering data and ongoing projects in a more holistic view.
Easily manage projects and help your teams focus on their most important
tasks. See an overview of your resources and their capacity – along with
project stages and timelines – to help with your planning and assignments.
Automatically track progress using tasks and timesheets.
Process Management
Easily streamline processes and automate document creation, while bringing
together all stakeholders involved in new product development across
departments. You can configure states and decision points for all of your
business processing including Engineering Change Requests (ECR), Orders
(ECO) and Notices (ECN), transmittals, and approvals.
Item Management
Quickly create, edit, and compare bills of materials (BOM) by associating
necessary items, files, and free text. Manage your product variations for
different applications. Drive SOLIDWORKS drawing bill of materials and
item numbers directly from system data.
User Tasks
Ensure your users have the knowledge they need to get project done through
the use of tasks and calendars, keeping them working effectively and
efficiently.
Dashboards and Reports
Create custom graphs and dashboards to showcase product and project
information. You can configure your reporting to your company’s standards
and publish reports on an automated schedule or on demand.
HOW CAN HAWK RIDGE SYSTEMS HELP?
Hawk Ridge has successfully implemented data management solutions for thousands of customers, including many migrations from other PDM and PLM systems. SOLIDWORKS Manage brings extensive new capabilities to the table, and we’re here to help customers deploy it and be productive quickly.
We helped a UAV manufacturer improve the management oversight of PDM using the power of the dashboards and reports in SOLIDWORKS Manage. We also helped them leverage the BOM management capabilities to get a deeper understanding of the complete product structure, leverage the performance benefits of the database-driven BOMs, and facilitate BOM collaboration.
We enabled an aerospace propulsion customer to leverage the power and flexibility of BOM variants and non-CAD items to build and manage their manufacturing BOMs.

What license types are available
for SOLIDWORKS Manage?
Manage comes in three different license types, all of which are global floating licenses: Viewer, Contributor, and
Editor.
Viewer Licenses provide basic access to view, search, and print
documents and records. With this license, you can also view CAD and
non-CAD data, and other information such as project statuses,
processes, BOMs, dashboards, and more.
Contributor Licenses add the ability to assign tasks, run reports, and
edit or update most items within Manage, other than CAD data.
The Editor License adds the ability to create and edit CAD data.
How does SOLIDWORKS Manage compare
to other PLM systems?
Manage is a highly configurable system and can be used to handle any
number of traditional PLM functions, including BOM management, change
management, document control, and quality management.
How does project management in
SOLIDWORKS Manage differ from other project management tools available?
Most project management tools are either not integrated with data management
solutions or they lack functionality. SOLIDWORKS Manage integrates tightly with SOLIDWORKS and PDM, allowing you
to consolidate data from your engineering team, document control, and
other related departments within a single user interface that also offers
downstream benefits for project reports and other analytics.
