Your engineering team is a billion-dollar asset.
Unleash them to deliver the competitive advantage to thrive. QR_ facilitates timely, accurate, and human centric information flows to power data-driven engineering at a part, program and organization level.
AI and your Bill of Materials
BoM validation and verification errors are costly in time and material waste. Can training AI to flag missing, inconsistent and improbable attribute data improve engineering efficiency?
Data as a driver of business growth
Data management consumed 21% of employee time at this European apparel house. Improved PDM practices saved €8 million per year, and freed people to do what they do best.
80 percent of complex engineering programs are late or overbudget.
Why should non-delivery be the norm? Getting the right data, to the right people, at the right time is why QR_ remains a trusted advisor and hands-on implementation partner.
Distressed program acceleration
One sports and supercar manufacturer clawed back two months from a delayed launch by optimizing ECM processes and drawing checks for a 22x RoI.
Perfect prototype builds
One large OEM reduced average program material spend by 20% and saved $21m by getting and keeping the product data behind their prototype builds right.
Design-to-line is only the beginning.
You’ve got data, but do you have a plan? Not leveraging legacy and in-service data leaves easy engineering, manufacturing, and customer experience wins on the table. QR_ connects data, process, and people silos to transform outcomes without the upheaval of a transformation.
Data visibility in action
How leightweight connectors unified data across a multi-organization consortium to enable a 200x production ramp inside 100 days.

The data-driven imperative
Successful product development and introduction is fundamentally about talented multi-disciplinary teams making the right decisions based on the best available data. High quality data is one of the most strategic assets of any organization – truly the ‘lifeblood of a business.’
Accurate Bill of Material (BOM) data is a prerequisite for mastery of any New Product Development (NPD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process. It integrates functions, empowers people, and informs the critical resource allocation decisions needed to build the products and business of the future. The accelerating pace of change and businesses’ need for actionable insights and operational agility makes the availability of robust and reliable data even more important, yet even harder to achieve.
Hands-on with QR_
The QR_ difference
Quick Release_ is uniquely focused on data quality and use; contextualizing, validating, curating and analyzing data to create timely, accurate and human-centric information flows.
By getting clean data flowing through an organization and its ecosystem of suppliers, we help our clients get their products to market faster and more efficiently, and then support them effectively throughout their lifetime of use. We also help our clients avoid the operational impacts of poor data – constant firefighting, reduced productivity of precious engineering resources, extensive re-work and waste, and increased costs.
QR_ in action
Quick Release_ implement agile and robust PLM and NPD processes, underpinned by best practice, AI-enabled Product Data Management. We deliver operational efficiencies and catalyze culture change using shared visibility of robust, up-to-date data to connect organizational silos and make them truly data-driven.
We are happy to execute NPD and PLM processes on behalf of our clients to assure and accelerate successful program delivery. And especially for scale-ups, we provide hands-on support as their program journey partner and establish strategic PDM capabilities for the long-term.
