PDXpert PLM software: Approved vendor sources

One or more suppliers can be specified as the source for a part. PDXpert PLM allows flexibility in how you define your part sources: vendor parts, internal alternates, or both. While many PLM systems create an artificial barrier between items that your organization manages and those of other organizations, PDXpert PLM unifies these into a single interface that lets you use any item in your database as a reference to any other item.

PDXpert PLM offers an easy-to-use source markup process: simply search for your child item using the Item Explorer, and drag it onto the parent item's Markup list. It couldn't be easier!
