Transform Manufacturing Operations with Content Management Solutions

VisualVault is capable of helping you transform your company – organizing information, streamlining processes, improving visibility and delivering analytics that give you the data you need to take your manufacturing operation to the next level.

Document Management is the Leaping Off Point

Before you can start saving time and driving efficiencies out of processes, you have to be able to find what you’re looking for.

GRM’S VisualVault platform excels in accurately and efficiently processing massive volumes of documents; applying defining metadata to each file and auto-indexing them for easy access and future use.

Ready-access to documents is only part of the equation. Employing advanced data extraction and character recognition technology, the platform can pull individual pieces of data out of a digital document; whether it be a dollar amount on an invoice or a part number from a product plan.

Workflow Automation - Where The Rubber Meets the Road

Once your data and documents are in order, then you’re in a position to drive inefficiencies out of processes; cutting development and production costs.

Our low-code, drag and drop workflow builder allows non-technical employees to build complex workflows that automatically accelerate processes throughout your organization. Workflows allow for more efficient recognition and approval of notices and engineering change orders (ECO), contract processing and a host of HR, Finance and Accounting applications.

When data and processes are pushed forward automatically, costs are reduced, productivity improves and the shop floor keeps humming.

Compliance Standards Met

VisualVault can bring a level of simplicity and control to tracking and automating ISO 9001 and other compliance standards. Retention management, process management and reporting capabilities replace compliance guesswork and doubts with specificity, visibility and confidence.

Beyond maintaining required compliance standards, workflows can also be created to help make sure auditing processes are smooth and related follow up is efficient, trackable and reportable.

Analytics – the Chicken or the Egg?

Do you have a better handle on your data and now you can make process improvements? Or you’ve made process improvements so you now have a better handle on your data? No matter how you look at it, the back end of a VisualVault implementation is brilliant analytics that translate into enormous corporate value.

Create custom dashboards that graphically display data that reveal never-before-seen trends and insights. And have supreme visibility into real-time processes that allow you to make better informed decisions.

“That’s a Good Question!”

Below are some frequently-asked questions and short answers related to Licensing & Permitting solutions.

Do PLM systems (product lifecycle management) work in concert with an ECM system?

PLM systems are central to design and engineering teams’ work across a product lifecycle and ECM systems are not designed to deliver the same functionality. However, the efficient management of data across the enterprise, delivered by an ECM, is dependent upon some of the data that resides in a PLM system. So, ideally the ECM and PLM system would share data.

As a cloud-native platform, VisualVault was architected to be an open, flexible system. So, it is ideally suited to integrate with your PLM system and seamlessly share data.

Are there software programs designed exclusively to manage Compliance?

Yes. There are many software solutions designed exclusively to manage Compliance given that it is concurrently very important and can be quite complex. However, many ECM platforms deliver very capable compliance management solutions.

With a long history in implementing solutions in highly-regulated industries, VisualVault is well-suited to track and manage a breadth of compliance requirements in the Manufacturing industry.

Do ECM systems offer features and workspaces designed to accommodate collaboration among employees who are working across locations?

Different ECM platforms offer varying degrees of features designed to meet the employee collaboration needs of customers. Some are very sophisticated while others deliver only very basic pieces of functionality.

VisualVault delivers capabilities such as Microsoft Office 365 integrations that allows for employees to work in real time on the same document. But, the real beauty of VisualVault is its unique ability to integrate with all of your corporate software platforms; delivering all employees a consistent single source of truth where data can be leveraged concurrently by all users.
