Disconnected teams and siloed product and sourcing information often lead to significant delays, increased expenses, and costly engineering change orders (ECOs) late in the development cycle. aP Workspace addresses these challenges by providing a new coworking application designed to manage scenario tasks and facilitate seamless collaboration among internal stakeholders regarding product cost, manufacturability, and sustainability. It offers real-time collaboration and centralizes unified product design and manufacturing data within a single environment. Users can create scenarios from aPriori analysis, tag colleagues to pose questions, provide comments, and follow up on tasks, leveraging traceability to understand a project's evolution. Teams across product engineering, product cost, sourcing, and manufacturing can review product design files, such as 3D CAD models, and design specifications directly within aP Workspace, integrating data from any aPriori cloud application. The platform's robust coworking features streamline and accelerate project management, enabling teams to make quick and confident decisions. Overall, aP Workspace helps centralize teams and critical product data, accelerate decision-making at scale, and significantly improve productivity and traceability throughout the product development lifecycle.
