Establishing the Unique “Digital Configuration Thread”
with CLM and Configit Ace®

Manufacturers today want to establish digital threads to analyze and understand their end-to-end processes and improve traceability.

For many manufacturers, the only way to achieve this is by stitching together information from multiple BOMs of different formats in different systems, often controlled by different departments.

The result is often inconsistencies, misunderstandings, and maintenance concerns, not to mention issues of control. This is especially difficult for manufacturers of customizable products where there can be thousands of BOMs and product variants to manage.

In this Tech Talk you will hear Configit Chief Technology and Product Officer Damantha Boteju discuss how Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) provides a “digital configuration thread” that can help better manage product configurations.

Damantha provides an overview of Configit Ace® CLM-as-a-Service, a SaaS implementation of CLM providing a shared-source-of-truth for product configuration data that is accessible by any user when and where they need it. By storing all configurations made by end-users in a digital configuration thread repository, it is possible for any system to create a digital thread for a specific product configuration capturing all the options chosen by the end-user.
