The video explains how SOLIDWORKS Manage centralizes distributed data management to improve decision-making. Dashboards provide real-time, user-specific insights from projects, processes, and records. It offers smart planning tools for resource allocation, task boards for collaboration, and automated workflows via the Process Management Wizard. Complex processes, such as new product introductions, can trigger secondary workflows involving multiple departments. Integration with SOLIDWORKS PDM ensures a single source of truth, while BOM management reuses CAD data for easy configuration and variant creation. Automatic dashboard updates keep teams informed, enabling faster, more accurate decisions and streamlined operations across the organization.
