Tom Sawyer Software empowers your engineering teams to reach new heights of productivity.

Analyze and visualize engineering data for 20/20 vision

Whether your role is in Systems Engineering, Product Development, or Enterprise IT, management of your critical systems encompasses many concerns, and involves many stakeholders and their specific requirements.  Analyzing and visualizing connections through many layers, competing concerns, and across time is critical to managing robust products and networks.

We work with our customers to improve the development and management of complex systems in every domain.

  • Improve supply chain management
  • Solve resource allocation in manufacturing
  • Enable cradle-to-grave product lifecycle management
  • Link and navigate logical and physical layers in a digital twin
  • Design and manage business processes
  • Support discrete engineering disciplines

Tom Sawyer Software worked with Skydea to build a new user experience that navigates engineering data across logical and physical layers of the design.

Making Connections

Our customers depend upon Tom Sawyer Software to help their teams
work more effectively with their existing tools and with other stakeholders.

Model Based Engineering

Demystify engineering diagrams

Diagrams are essential to understanding, but costly to maintain. Different stakeholders need different details. Keeping static drawings up-to-date and consistent is expensive and error-prone. Tom Sawyer Software can rescue your teams from this never-ending cycle and generate consistent and interactive diagrams that are always up-to-date.

Business Process Modeling with swimlanes

Connect legacy tools and processes

Providing your teams with the right tools for each stage in the product lifecycle sometimes leaves your data stranded where only a few people can use it. Let Tom Sawyer Software help you to bridge those divides, without disrupting what is already working.

Global map view of retail network

Inform and empower stakeholders

Many important stakeholders are not engineers. Tom Sawyer Software can help you to provide the information they require, when they need it, without impeding them with tools that don't work for them, or taking time from engineering to deliver what they require.

Microwave traffic and bandwidth

Reveal hidden insights

Significantly reduce hours spent tracing related information from adjacent tools in your enterprise. Tom Sawyer Software can connect that data at run-time with our native graph in-memory model. Use swim lanes to separate concerns and call out inconsistencies, trace root causes, or analyze upstream and downstream effects.

Betweeness analysis and bundled layout

Navigate and analyze connected data

Tom Sawyer Software's native in-memory graph provides just-in-time integration of the latest data from various tools in your engineering environment. Provide ready access to information from design-time to run-time. Enable smooth navigation in any direction you need to explore, even without an established data lake.


 

Requirements analysis with swimlanes

Improve quality and lower costs

Discover and address inconsistencies that plague your development and maintenance teams at any stage of the lifecycle. Tom Sawyer Software delivers seamless traceability for faster resolutions with fewer side-effects. Help your users find their way to the information they need: manage complexity with swimlanes, group and collapse information, trace upstream and downstream effects, and flag non-compliant elements for resolution.

Navigating logical and physical information

Explore and evaluate a digital twin

Building an accurate digital twin with the resolution your operations require can be a challenge. Making it available to the people that need it can be even more difficult. Tom Sawyer Software can work with you to build the interactions that empower people to use the digital twin to drive value internally or for your customers.


 

Analyzing a supply chain

Make informed decisions

Graph-based integration delivers the freedom to follow connected data trails that describe complex systems from cradle to grave, and across the data silos created by separate tools. Tom Sawyer Software delivers the insights that support sound decisions and illustrates the impact on cost, quality and risk.

Two solutions to fit your engineering environment

Off-the-shelf value with Model Based Engineering

Our Model-Based Engineering product for CATIA™ and SysML1.X can handle complex diagrams with thousands of elements and relationships by rendering interactive diagrams directly from underlying model definitions. Use it with Teamwork Cloud on the web or with Cameo or MagicDraw on the desktop.
