Overview

DATUM is a web-based CAD configurator platform designed to help manufacturing companies — especially small and medium-sized businesses — publish, manage, and share their component libraries online. It bridges the gap between your product catalogue and your customer’s design environment by enabling real-time part configuration, 3D preview, and multi-format CAD downloads.

DATUM puts enterprise-grade product experience into the hands of MSMEs — without the need to invest millions in custom platforms.

Why DATUM Exists

While large enterprises spend crores building custom CAD configurators, most MSMEs are left behind — working with static catalogues, manual quote processes, and fragmented technical documentation. This results in:

  • Longer sales cycles

  • Repetitive support tasks

  • Missed opportunities at the design stage

  • Lack of visibility during the customer’s decision process

DATUM was built to solve this — by providing an affordable, scalable, and easy-to-use alternative.

What DATUM Offers

DATUM lets you:

  • Create a centralized digital library of your product catalogue

  • Allow engineers and customers to view, interact with, and configure your parts online

  • Enable real-time CAD downloads across multiple formats

  • Maintain full administrative control, with multi-user access levels

  • Support your sales team with ready-to-share specs, datasheets, and marketing materials.
