PROOM is the central platform for document exchange and collaboration in manufacturing and engineering companies
“Didn’t I send you that?”
is something you will never hear again
Technical documentation
Confidential and transparent exchange of technical documents and files, in collaboration with customers, partners, and suppliers
In manufacturing and engineering companies, files are often shared and collaborated on across company lines. In doing so, it is essential that the right files are made available at the right time and that they can be exchanged with ease, regardless of their size or the amount of documents. Conventional methods like email and FTP fail to live up to these requirements.
The PROOM document exchange platform is the solution!
- Everybody is up to date: Once they have been connected to PROOM, documents will be automatically synchronized, giving every project member instant access to the same documents, in their most current versions
- No more guesswork: The project room provides full document control over who is authorized to do what and when and keeps a log of all activities
- Everyone is in the loop: PROOM integrates with your existing environment and processes
- Everybody follows the same rules: Access controls are in place and all document related activities are logged to ensure compliance standards are met. PROOM can be used as a software as a servie (SaaS) solution or deployed as a private cloud
Backing up data and ensuring document versions are always up to date
Your development projects often involve large drawings, CAD models, or other technical documents that are frequently modified and whose different versions need to be continuously exchanged among the various teams involved but with everyone working on their own systems, a gap between the different processes and information systems is inevitable. Companies that rely on email as their primary method of communication often find themselves struggling with different file versions and local copies.
The PROOM document exchange platform is the solution!
- Benefit from a confidential way to exchange development and design data and technical project documents of any size
- Use virtual project rooms to seamlessly integrate your processes with those of your partners
- Connect with PROOM once and synchronize everything automatically. Always the latest version, updated in real time
Making the latest documents available throughout your procurement process
Technical purchasing departments are in charge of procuring external services. They serve as the liaison between internal developers and manufacturing teams on the one hand, and different suppliers and bidders on the other hand. In order for your projects to succeed, it is paramount that everybody is always talking about “the same thing” and basing their work on the right information.
The PROOM document exchange platform is the solution!
- Everyone involved works with the most current documents
- Procurement documents need to be uploaded only once and then maintained from a single point of control
- RFP bidders cannot see one another
- You, as the purchaser, can monitor the status of your documents at any time. You know exactly who accessed what files und who uploaded files and when

https://
PROOM’s communication is based on HTTPS, a protocol that prevents interception of information exchanged online.
Authentication & password encryption
Users must authenticate themselves before accessing PROOM. They can choose their own password, which is then encrypted and invisible to the PROOM administrator.
User permissions
Custom permissions on a project room and folder level provide access control and maximum data security. Sensitive files that are to be made available to certain users only, can be hidden for other users.
Activity logs
Built-in and ready-to-print activity logs allow users to get an instant overview of who did what with which files and when.
Validity
The project rooms and the files they contain are never automatically deleted. When uploading a file, users can specify a validity period. Outside this interval, the file is only visible to the user who uploaded it to the project room and to the project room manager.
