Connecting teams

Synchronize product and manufacturing data across your critical systems.

Eliminate the silos dividing your teams and systems

As a manufacturing company, some of your top concerns are related to disconnected data and processes. Ensuring that critical data is easily accessible across departments, maintaining accurate and up-to-date information, and fostering effective communication and teamwork are essential to maintaining operations and product quality. In order to streamline workflows, reduce errors, and enhance overall efficiency, leaders in our space are implementing robust application integration, which addresses these challenges by connecting disparate systems, enabling seamless data flow, and improving collaboration.

Workflow Framework

KETIV’s workflow framework orchestrates the exchange and transfer of data ranging from parts and BOMS to documents and drawings – and everything in between. The framework allows for truly intelligent integrations with logic, routings, and triggers. This supports configurable transaction templates and endless automation opportunities.

Ready-to-use Transaction Templates

To accelerate time-to-value and minimize customization, KETIV DataBridge provides preconfigured transaction templates to support common scenarios such as part/assembly releases, document releases, metadata federation or change activation. Templates can be combined, customized, or created.

Deploy on Cloud, On-Premises, or Hybrid

KETIV DataBridge has been architected to recognize the reality of varying IT strategies and policies. Whether the applications to be connected operate on-premise or in the cloud, KETIV Connector can be configured to operate securely in all possible configurations.

Synchronous & Asynchronous

The very nature of product data is that BOM structures and associated files can consume significant bandwidth. KETIV DataBridge supports both asynchronous and synchronous data exchange capabilities to enhance the user experience. Modes of operation are configurable in the transaction templates.

Monitoring and Visibility

KETIV DataBridge supports a full range of monitoring processes. This includes transaction logs, error recovery sequences and messaging. Each of these are configurable, can trigger custom processes and activate messaging to individuals and/or other services.
