PDXpert PLM
Westford, Massachusetts, USA
What it is
PDXpert PLM is product lifecycle management software for electronics and mechanical product companies that need to control bills of materials, documents, and engineering changes. Multi-level BOMs support traceability, sourcing control, revision history, where-used information, and rollups. Teams can configure engineering change workflows with steps, roles, electronic approvals, and audit history. Drawings and files can be revision controlled, permissioned, and linked to parts and changes. The software can be self-hosted on-site or hosted in a private cloud, with product data kept in infrastructure the customer controls. A self-hosted REST WebAPI provides access to parts, documents, BOMs, changes, and files for integrations such as ERP, analytics, and internal workflow tools. The current AddIn release is for SolidWorks. PDXpert runs on Windows with a SQL Server database. Subscription licenses include advertised unlimited product support. A free evaluation includes all software features and product support for three weeks and requires a download-link request form. Subscription pricing starts at $3.50 per user per month for a read-only named user under Subscription Plus, with annual invoicing and a three-year price guarantee.
