After multiple acquisitions, Wittur faced fragmented material codes, duplicate parts, and obsolete data spread across regional SQL databases and PDM systems. EXALEAD OnePart was implemented as a single search layer providing 2D/3D geometry search, metadata filtering, and geography-specific results. The solution reduced annual search costs by €184,000 and allowed engineers to locate and reuse existing parts instead of redesigning them.

Key takeaways
