Before, you had to get everyone in one room to run a cost down event. Now, CoLab gives you an easy way to host virtual events and get more input from more people. Without any limits on who can participate (or when), doing VA/VE virtually lets your team unlock even more ideas.
Here’s the problem with sticky notes on a whiteboard: sometimes, ideas get lost in translation. With CoLab, you don’t have to waste time searching for answers to questions like, “what part number were they talking about when they wrote this?” You can comment directly on 3D models and drawings. That means more time to focus on actual engineering work, like implementing those changes in production.
Cost-saving ideas only work if they get implemented, so we take the admin work off your plate and let you focus on executing. CoLab automatically records ideas as you create them and the Track feature gives you a bird’s-eye view of all your ideas in one place. So it’s easy to discuss, prioritize, or follow up on any idea at any time.
