BENEFITS AT A GLANCE
Concurrent Product and Documentation Development Accelerates Time to Market
Link existing CAD data to textual procedures from your PDM/ERP system to automate the creation of 3D manuals for operations, maintenance and technical support. ‘Dynamic update’ syncs with design data to guarantee 100% accuracy.
Increase Revenue Opportunities
Better support manuals increase customer loyalty and rate of customer retention. They can even help to up and cross-sell your products.
Cut Costs, Reduce Total Cost of Ownership
Why recreate new graphics for manuals when your engineers have already created applicable illustrations and data. Repurposing existing resources is more efficient, improves user comprehension and reduces costly errors.
Share Outputs and Reuse Content in Downstream Processes
Reuse visualizations and simulations created with RapidManual in computer-based training and other support materials at no extra cost.
Achieve Compliance and Safety
Up-to-date product data and better views of complex equipment and assemblies help achieve regulatory compliance.
