Vertex Software is the governance-preserving 3D access layer for enterprise manufacturing.
The digital thread breaks at file export. When product data is distributed in STEP, JT, or 3D PDF formats, configuration control is lost and IP risk increases.
This creates a secure model accessibility problem: organizations need broad access to product geometry, but cannot safely distribute the underlying files.
Vertex extends PLM governance by streaming always-current, context-aware pixels from authoritative systems of record (CAD, PLM, BIM).
Users interact with the current product geometry—without receiving or managing files.
The result:
• Governed access to product geometry across internal teams and external partners
• No derivative-file distribution of product geometry
• Preserved configuration control and IP containment
• Enterprise-scale access to product definition across suppliers, factories, and service
Vertex operates as infrastructure, not a collaboration application.
We extend PLM governance while maintaining authoritative systems of record.
Proven at scale:
• 350,000 users in service ecosystems
• 500,000+ daily 3D sessions
• 60,000+ PLM changes processed per day
• 22,000 suppliers collaborating in production environments
Workflow tools collaborate around exported artifacts.
Vertex provides governed access to the system of record.
