Product data management (PDM) is a platform to manage and store your product's data in a central location.

Onshape brings both CAD and PDM capabilities together and centralizes these processes using a cloud-native approach. All PDM capabilities are fully integrated with the Onshape CAD platform; no separate PDM module is required. This gives Engineers a seamless approach to maintaining your CAD and PDM systems in one place.

Engineers use these integrated PDM capabilities to create custom workflows, manage documents, and track releases and revisions.
