About PARTsolutions
A strategic parts management platform that helps engineering and purchasing teams find, reuse, and control standard and supplier parts. It integrates with CAD, PLM, and ERP systems to streamline design processes and reduce duplicate part creation.
PARTsolutions by CADENAS is a robust strategic parts management platform tailored for mid-to-large industrial manufacturers. It addresses the common engineering challenge of 'part proliferation' by providing a centralized hub where teams can find, reuse, and control standard and supplier components. By integrating directly into existing CAD, PLM, and ERP environments—such as Siemens NX, Teamcenter, and SAP—the software allows engineers to access verified 3D models and technical data without leaving their design tools. Its standout capabilities include advanced geometric similarity search, which helps identify existing parts that match a new design, and a vast library of manufacturer-certified catalogs. While the platform is highly powerful for streamlining design cycles and reducing procurement costs, it is a specialized enterprise tool that typically requires a maintenance contract and professional implementation. Support is provided through direct technical channels, and the platform is highly configurable to meet specific corporate standards.
Pros & Cons
- Integrates deeply with major CAD, PLM, and ERP systems to maintain a single source of truth for part data.
- Reduces engineering time by providing instant access to over 800 manufacturer-verified CAD catalogs.
- Advanced geometric search tools help engineers find existing parts instead of creating duplicates.
- Automates the population of master data to ensure high-quality, consistent component information.
- Supports a wide range of native and neutral CAD file formats for maximum interoperability.
- Steep learning curve due to the complexity and depth of the enterprise-grade feature set.
- Pricing is not publicly disclosed and typically requires a custom quote based on implementation needs.
- Requires an active maintenance contract for software updates and access to the latest catalog libraries.
