Custom PLM software built around your product workflow.
Product lifecycle management shouldn't mean forcing your team into a vendor's template. We build PLM systems around the way your products actually move — from first concept through revisions, approvals, sourcing, and end of life.
Your parts, your BOMs, your approval chain, your suppliers — in one system that talks to the tools you already use, instead of a spreadsheet farm held together by one person who knows where everything is.
The problems we get hired to solve
Spreadsheet sprawl
Product data scattered across dozens of spreadsheets, with version conflicts and no single source of truth for what's current.
Enterprise PLM overkill
Arena, Windchill, and Teamcenter are priced and shaped for enterprises with dedicated admins — not for a mid-market team that needs to move fast.
Disconnected tools
CAD in one place, ERP in another, supplier emails everywhere. Changes get lost between systems and nobody trusts the data.
What a Calibrate PLM includes
- Part and product records with full revision history
- BOM management that scales from 10 to 1,000+ SKUs
- Approval workflows that mirror your actual sign-off chain
- Engineering change orders with an audit trail
- Integrations with your CAD, ERP, and supplier systems
- Role-based access for engineering, ops, and suppliers
Every build follows the same four steps — Discover, Design, Build, Iterate — see how we work, or see it in production.
Common questions
How is custom PLM different from Arena or Windchill?
Off-the-shelf PLM makes you adapt your process to its data model, and you pay per seat forever. A custom PLM is built around your existing workflow, you own the code and the data outright, and it only includes what you actually use — which is why teams adopt it instead of working around it.
How long does a custom PLM take to build?
A focused first version — parts, BOMs, revisions, and approvals — typically ships in 3-6 weeks. We deliver in milestones, so you're using the system and giving feedback while later phases (integrations, supplier portals, reporting) are still being built.
Can it import our existing spreadsheets?
Yes — migration is part of the build. We map your current spreadsheets and legacy data into the new system, validate the import together, and keep the old files as a read-only archive so nothing is lost.
What does a custom PLM system cost?
Most of our PLM builds land between the cost of one year of enterprise PLM seats and the salary of the admin you'd need to run one. See our pricing guide for real ranges and how milestone-based payment works.
