Manufacturing: Secure Collaboration | External Sharing Use Case

Data Security

File-centric, protect-first approach

Save time and money by always having the latest specifications

Manufacturing companies need to build products that meet proper specifications. Different departments, like sales, product planning, quality assurance, and manufacturing, ensure parts are manufactured correctly. Plans and specifications usually change after manufacturing begins, and unless everyone has the latest updates, the company may manufacture the wrong product. This wastes time locating the latest specs and costs a lot to remanufacture the correct part. Companies consider using traditional content management solutions (ECM) and cloud-based file-sharing systems to provide all departments with the current specifications, but they can never keep up with the changes because the local copies are outdated.

By implementing Wrapsody, each department sees updates immediately in a local copy of the specification document when a change is made. There is no need to share documents among the departments since the latest specification changes are always reflected in the shared document. As soon as a user opens the document, the latest version downloads from the central repository. Managers can also see the latest specifications on their phones or tablets, making it easier to access the information when on the manufacturing floor. Since Wrapsody guarantees the latest document version wherever it is, each department saves and uses local copies knowing they always have the latest specifications. If they save the document on a server or send it by email, they still get the latest version as soon as they open it. By having the history of how and when specifications change, it’s easy to review and confirm all updates.
