MechWorks PDM is designed to mitigate issues concerning the engineering data integration of a product’s item-master record and/or its bill-of-materials. Conventionally, engineers had to repetitively enter important details of a product’s attributes—its required material, part number, and more—into their disconnected (PDM/PLM) applications and their ERP/SAP systems. This legacy manual process is cumbersome and does not have an avenue to ensure data changes during product revisions. The manual data manipulation amongst disconnected applications is inefficient and frequently prone to costly errors. With MechWorks PDM’s hand-shaking approach, engineers only have to enter the critical attributes of a product once and data is pushed to the relevant ERP/SAP systems through workflow processes. At the same time, to minimize inaccuracies, Integrated Partner Solutions’ offering allows the organization to configure the specific properties that need to be vertically integrated during the workflow’s approval/ rejection process. Similarly, MechWorks PDM enables engineers to seamlessly communicate with ERP/SAP systems and reduce instances of re-entering product data.![]()

Further discussing the core competencies of MechWorks PDM, Perry elaborates, “MechWorks PDM boasts unmatched security and facilitates selective access to enhance the overall protection of a product’s sensitive information.”
Apart from MechWorks PDM, Integrated Partner Solutions provides custom services and training regimes to help clients make the most of their data integrations. Under its training portfolio, the company offers standard and custom services to aid clients in effectively leveraging MechWorks PDM with their ERP/SAP data integrations. Integrated Partner Solutions’ custom services include reporting inconsistent data issues between a client’s disconnected ERP/SAP data and their engineering environment, so data scrubbing can take place before fully integrating the disconnected environments. Additionally, these reports also assist users in choosing which set of data to archive, thereby increasing their visibility and ability to manage the data delivery of their product information.
Looking ahead, Integrated Partner Solutions plans to grow its clientele through the expansion of its product and services portfolio, which will allow for the delivery of advanced reporting with higher visibility and more efficient workflows. “We aim to continue developing tighter integration avenues to help our clients seamlessly integrate their engineering product data with ERP/SAP systems focusing on streamlining their core processes,” concludes Perry.
