Nora IPLM: Your Product Lifecycle Management & Innovation Platform
Efficiently manage, collaborate, and innovate across every stage of your product lifecycle.
What is Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)?
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the strategic approach and supporting software that manages a product’s journey from the earliest concept to end-of-life. It centralizes data, processes, and collaboration across teams to streamline development, improve quality, and reduce time-to-market.
PLM platforms help businesses align engineering, operations, manufacturing, and quality teams across the entire lifecycle of a product: from initial idea and design to launch, support, and eventual retirement.
Why PLM is Important for Businesses
The 6 Stages of PLM
Concept & Ideation
Capture new ideas, define market opportunities, and validate early concepts.
Design & Development
Manage iterations, feedback loops, prototyping, and testing.
Product Launch
Finalize BOMs, collaborate with suppliers, and track readiness.
Manufacturing
Monitor quality control and optimize production efficiency.
Support & Service
Manage updates, feedback, and post-launch support.
End-of-Life & Retirement
Archive data, manage recycling, and sunset responsibly.
Product Lifecycle Overview
Innovation to End of Life
IPLM adds front-end innovation to traditional PLM. Capture ideas, vet concepts, and connect them to items, BOMs, changes, and projects. Manage data, trace revisions, and keep teams aligned from first idea to retirement.
Accelerate your product lifecycle
A modern PLM solution streamlines your entire product lifecycle from concept to launch, by centralizing data, automating change management, and ensuring compliance.
