Engineering firm · PDM / PLM consulting
From the 3D model to the product lifecycle, without friction.
For more than 20 years we have helped manufacturing companies design, implement and run their PDM and PLM systems: data analysis and migration to platforms such as Teamcenter and Windchill, ERP integrations and custom CAD–PLM connectors.

What we can do for your engineering department
From the initial assessment to post go-live support: a single partner that understands both mechanical design and the software infrastructure behind it.
PDM implementation
End-to-end SOLIDWORKS PDM (ePDM) and DBWorks projects: vaults, approval workflows, revisions, part numbering and permissions. Design files organised and always easy to find.
- Workflows & release states
- Part numbering & metadata
- Roles & permissions
PLM architecture
Solution architecture and data modelling: items, bills of materials (EBOM/MBOM), change management (ECR/ECO) and a sustainable adoption roadmap.
- Data model
- Solution architecture
- BOM & change management
Data migration
Our core expertise: migration from existing PDM and PLM systems, with data analysis, cleansing and preparation for PLM platforms such as Teamcenter and Windchill. History, revisions and relationships stay intact.
- Data analysis & quality
- Mapping to the PLM data model
- Verified migration
Integration & automation
Integrating PDM and PLM with ERP systems and custom CAD–PLM integrations, plus automated exports (PDF, STEP, DXF).
- ERP integration
- Custom CAD–PLM integrations
- Automated exports & tasks
Training & support
Tailored courses for designers and administrators, operating documentation and ongoing support after go-live.
- User & admin training
- Manuals & procedures
- Post go-live support
Approach
A clear path in four phases
Every project starts from the company's real processes, not from the software. Measurable goals and no surprises.
- 01
Assessment
Interviews with engineering, production and IT. Mapping of flows, data and pain points.
- 02
Design
Solution architecture, numbering rules, workflows and a shared migration plan.
- 03
Implementation
Configuration, integrations, testing with real data and a controlled migration.
- 04
Adoption
Training, coaching and continuous improvement after go-live.
Expertise
Engineering and IT, in the same project
We know the designer's job because it is where we started: our background is in designing automatic machinery and running R&D departments. At the same time we manage databases, servers, permissions and integrations. This removes the usual wall between engineering and IT.
Our core skills are data migration, data modelling and solution architecture, backed by the Enterprise PDM Professional and Support Technician certifications.

About us
A team of engineers alongside your design department
Mechintegra is an engineering and IT consulting firm based in Parma, Italy, operating since 2006. We bring together mechanical engineers and systems specialists who work with CAD, PDM and PLM every day: we select them with our clients, configure them, integrate them with the rest of the business and train the people who will use them.
The name Mechintegra sums up what we do: integrating mechanics with processes and data. We believe in simple, documented, maintainable solutions that stay useful long after the engagement ends.
