Bluestar PLM for Business Central: Embedded PLM for Dynamics 365 Business Central

About This Solution

Bluestar PLM for Business Central helps discrete manufacturers connect engineering and operations by managing product data, such as BOMs, drawings and revisions, and releasing it directly inside Dynamics 365 Business Central.

It is built for small and mid-sized manufacturers that need stronger control of engineering data, CAD-driven product structures, BOM handoff, design revisions and production documentation, without moving to a separate enterprise PLM platform.

Key capabilities

• Engineering data management: engineering objects, revisions, classifications, attributes, CAD files, drawings and documents, managed in Business Central
• BOM synchronization: release engineering BOMs to manufacturing BOMs and support a structured handoff from design to production
• Document control: check-in and check-out, version history, document vault storage and automatic PDF generation
• Governance and compliance: route changes through status changes and keep traceable records of revisions, releases and status changes
• CAD and ERP connectivity: engineers, planners, purchasers and production teams work from the same product definition

Why embedded PLM

PLM runs natively in Business Central, so there is no standalone PLM system, middleware layer or disconnected data flow. It gives one source of product truth for engineering objects, CAD files, BOMs, drawings, documents, approvals and revision history, and it lowers IT complexity by extending the Business Central environment customers already use.

Who it is for

Small and mid-sized discrete manufacturers that run Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and the engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, quality and service teams who work with their product data.
