ForviaForvia Brings Product Lifecycle onto PTC
Forvia, a consumer discretionary organization in France, uses ThingWorx from PTC to support change control for engineering and quality.
A ThingWorx rollout at Forvia took change control out of inboxes and into a named queue.
“Consumer Discretionary work at Forvia spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in France.”
“Engineering and quality asked for a shared way to run change control without freezing local judgment.”

Story
Consumer Discretionary work at Forvia spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in France. Product lifecycle data was splitting across regional habits. Engineering and quality asked for a shared way to run change control without freezing local judgment.
PTC (ThingWorx) is what they standardized on. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. Forvia uses it as the system of record for product lifecycle data, with engineering and quality as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
