Romans CAD: the digital platform transforming your product workflow

(Part 2/3)

In this second episode, imagine a single platform where design, development, costing, sourcing, and production collaborate seamlessly—no silos, no data loss.

Real-time data, automated processes, and centralized libraries are at the core of Romans CAD, empowering you to:

• Design in fully integrated 3D and 2D environments

• Build and manage centralized material and component libraries

• Simulate SKU variants quickly and accurately with realistic renderings

• Generate BOMs and technical reports in real time

• Run pre-costing early in development to manage margins from the design stage

• Use built-in PDM tools to structure data, documents, and workflows

• Enable seamless collaboration across all departments, including sales and marketing

• Publish virtual SKUs in B2B mode and let distributors customize them directly
  

The results Brands that have adopted integrated digital platforms for product development have accelerated their time-to-market by up to 30 days, while also enabling multi-channel deployment across B2B, eCommerce, and digital showrooms—without redundant work.

Design is now strategic Design is no longer just about aesthetics. Every decision impacts cost, feasibility, timing, and market fit. Romans CAD places design at the center of a cross-functional process, touching every part of the business—from sustainability to compliance, pricing, and go-to-market.

Compliance built into design Creating great products also means ensuring compliance, safety, and ethical production. Romans CAD integrates compliance tools throughout the product lifecycle:

From the first sketch to the final BOM, you can:

• Reduce legal risks and avoid costly recalls

• Meet international regulations and consumer expectations on traceability and responsible sourcing

• Simplify audits and quality controls with centralized documentation and certifications per component

• Ensure full transparency and traceability across materials and suppliers
  

Compliance becomes part of your product strategy—not a last-minute check.

Conclusion Still think PDM and PLM are the same? Part 3 of our mini-series will clarify their differences—and the common mistakes that slow down product development.
