Document Management for High Tech Product Development

When mistakes can cost millions, you need the tools to control your process and minimise your risk.

When products are complex and deadlines are tight you can’t afford to lose momentum. But document anarchy and siloed operations slow up even the best high-tech developers. It doesn’t need to be like this. A controlling document management platform can help keep everything and everybody on track.

Enabling innovators to innovate

For high-tech projects to succeed, your document management system must flex and scale with your needs. It should support frictionless creative collaboration at the start of your development process, then let you tightly control specifications as you prepare designs for release. It should ensure your team is always working on the same version of a document; tracking changes for approval, eliminating the risk of errors emerging as you iterate drafts. This is exactly what Cognidox lets you do - with our LEAN document management system.

Document control – your way

Our engineers have created a cloud-based document control platform founded on LEAN principles. With Cognidox you can build a system of document and design controls that works for you, helping governance and quality become ‘the way you do things’.

Document and design control

Ensure your design control is water-tight, with phase-gating and document approval processes that support the unique way you work. Deliver, faster more frictionless collaboration while never losing sight of governance.

Compliance tools

Meet the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 26262:2018. Build products that exactly meet customer requirements in the fastest, most efficient way. Optimise process control to deliver continuous improvement across your business.

Seamless design release

Errors in the transfer of data and design documentation to your fabrication partner can result in multi-million dollar mistakes. Manage your release to manufacture process with fine-grained access control via a secure Extranet. Ensure data integrity as you assemble and transfer build packs to your partners and track download activity.

Customer success stories

We are consistently rated outstanding by ISO, and I attribute 80% of that to the structure that Cognidox brings.

Jonathan Jeacocke, VP of Technology at DisplayLink

Cognidox is central to almost everything we do. It's a document store where we can find things easily, but it's also an approval system for specifications, customers proposals, and more. We also use the extranet to simplify the delivery of documents and software to customers.

Peter Claydon, President at Picocom

Once you get your head around it, the system is easy to use. Great audit trail and access control.

Morag McFarlane, CEO at Niche CRO

It is a joy to configure and work with the system on a daily basis. There are new features implemented frequently. If I had the chance to develop a DMS, it would most likely be like Cognidox.

Orsolya Szabo, Quality Manager at Kandou Bus

What’s great is Cognidox doesn’t require you to work in a particular way. You can decide how you want to run your engineering, development or quality flows. Rather than imposing a way of doing things, Cognidox supports the way you want to do it.
