Run better design reviews, make better product decisions

When you don’t give people a chance to provide design feedback — or when their feedback slips through the cracks — design quality suffers. CoLab makes it easy for anyone to review CAD and automates issue tracking, so that engineering teams can design better products faster.

Why it matters

What is the cost of sloppy decision-making?

Your most critical product decisions are made every day in design reviews. When those reviews are ineffective (or when they get skipped), you risk locking in bad decisions that hurt quality, gross margins, and customer trust.

What the data says

We surveyed 250 engineering leaders and they told us 43% of design feedback slips through the cracks.

That’s a lot of chances for an error, quality problem, or safety critical issue to make it to production.

How to fix it

Design reviews are 80% non-value added work and 20% real problem solving. For hardware teams using CoLab, it’s the other way around.

Most teams generate feedback in long, hard to schedule meetings, then spend hours tracking issues in spreadsheets and emails.With CoLab, you can document simple issues asynchronously, then use your meetings to solve tough technical problems. We’ll take care of documentation and tracking for you automatically, as you do the work.

Connecting CoLab with PLM and CAD is fast, easy, and secure.

CoLab integrates with major PLM systems, including Windchill, Teamcenter, and 3DXPERIENCE. You can share CAD directly to CoLab from your PLM, maintaining critical data associations. Because CoLab accepts 30+ file types, it’s easy to review native CAD, even if you’re working with a supplier or customer that uses a different CAD tool.
