What are the Business Reasons for Implementing Campfire Interactive PLM?
80% of product cost decisions made during the design phase will determine the end product cost. Managing these processes efficiently with Campfire Interactive’s ProEvolve PLM will provide a better control on the product costs. It has been established by independent business analysts that PLM represents the only software investment a company can make that maximizes profitability by simultaneously reducing product development costs while increasing revenues. What this means, in terms of profits, is the ability to get your product to market faster than the competition and at lower costs. This results in:
• Quicker time to realized profits by shortening the early, costly development process
• Ability to take advantage of Premium pricing through earlier introduction to the market
• Development of a larger market share at those higher prices
• Lower “in-service” maintenance costs due to more efficient access to product information, and overall higher quality of product
