With every new product, our file system-based management became less and less efficient. And the need to implement a solution that would manage our documents and associated items became more and more pressing. We also had to make sure that the solution would integrate seamlessly with our MCAD, ECAD and ERP systems.

Over the past years, RCF has grown into a brand leader for professional audio and live sound equipment. Throughout its company history, RCF has expanded and diversified its range of products to meet all sound and music amplification needs: from individual products to complete solutions, from small systems to large and complex projects. Today, RCF employs over 250 people and sells its products in 100 countries worldwide.
The company focuses on products and the management of changes, making versions and compatibility with other products essential to their business. This creates large and complex data sets whose management was the challenge that prompted them to look for an effective PLM/DMStec system.
“With every new product, our file system-based management became less and less efficient. And the need to implement a solution that would manage our documents and associated items became more and more pressing. We also had to make sure that the solution would integrate seamlessly with our MCAD, ECAD and ERP systemss,” explains Luca Canovi, R&D Project Manager at RCF.
For RCF, advanced product management is all about being able to aggregate the information and documents pertaining to their products in a structured way. PRO.FILE enables RCF to centrally store and archive all of its data in a unique, easily accessible and secure structure. When it comes to the integration of software applications, the PLM system is able to integrate engineering and production and managed the bi-directional flow of information between CAD, Office, and ERP.
PRO.FILE transformed the product structure into a single source of truth where all product-related information and documents come together to always ensure an accurate and up-to-date overall picture.
