In highly competitive global markets, manufacturing companies strive to automate their processes and accelerate their product launches. Now, industrial applications provider Contact Software joins forces with Razorleaf to help them achieve these goals.
The strategic partnership combines Contact’s composable Elements platform with Razorleaf’s in-depth knowledge of the North American market and proven expertise in consulting and implementing digital thread solutions.
Together, they bring single-platform PLM, MES, and IIoT solutions to manufacturing companies, empowering them to design, manufacture, and operate Smart Products more efficiently and improve customer satisfaction.
Contact Elements enables companies to merge data silos into a single source of truth and seamlessly exchanges information with third-party apps. It can be hosted in the cloud, embeds sustainability data directly in product development, and includes platform-wide AI capabilities.
Built on a composable architecture, Contact Elements can be gradually expanded as a company’s needs grow—providing a future-proof solution that adapts to evolving market requirements, customer demands, and changing regulations.
As Contact’s regional partner, Razorleaf’s experts will support customers along the entire implementation journey: from consulting and needs analysis to deployment, system configuration, data migration, training, and long-term support.
Razorleaf’s OnPoint implementation methodology uses a proven six-step framework to seamlessly integrate Contact’s solutions into the client’s digital ecosystem, ensuring quick deployment and delivering immediate, measurable results.
Eric Doubell, CEO of Razorleaf, says: “We’re proud to partner with Contact Software to bring their Elements platform to the North American market.
