Safeguarding proprietary manufacturing processes and product designs across a dispersed supply network.
A large manufacturing company relies on a complex global supply chain involving numerous third-party suppliers, component manufacturers, and design partners. Sharing sensitive intellectual property, such as detailed blueprints, proprietary process specifications, and new product development plans, with these external entities poses a significant risk of unauthorized access, version control issues, and IP leakage. Traditional methods often involve insecure email attachments or fragmented cloud storage, making it difficult to control who accesses what, track document usage, or ensure that only the latest approved versions are in circulation, potentially leading to production errors or competitive disadvantages.
To effectively safeguard its intellectual property and streamline collaboration across its global supply chain, the manufacturing company needs a unified, secure platform. Wrapsody eCo enables this by facilitating secure sharing of all sensitive documents, including engineering specifications, quality control checklists, and production schedules, with robust encryption and granular access permissions. The company can define specific rights for each external partner (e.g., view-only, print-disabled, limited-time access) and revoke permissions instantly. The Timeline feature offers a comprehensive audit trail, recording every interaction with shared files, ensuring compliance and accountability across the supply network.
