3P Direct: Simplify Third-Party Collaboration
Our engineering workflow and document management system is designed to make the collaboration process between internal and external teams easier. 3P Direct provides the ability to create a special category of an existing project where external parties can be provided access to view, download, print and markup documents, including CAD files, that would otherwise require sending the files to the external party via email or other file transfer methods.
Easy and Secure Access for Third Parties
With a constantly changing economic and security landscape and an increase in remote work, it is critical that teams have the right tools to work together more effectively and to solve problems, both internally and with third parties. As work teams become more distributed and file security more concentrated, having applications that assist in getting the right information to the right workflow participants at the right time becomes even more important. Third parties, including customers, vendors, and contractors are looking for greater ease in accessing data and quicker turnaround in responding to requests for information.
Tracking Interactions With Third Parties
All too often, files and emails are sent to vendors, contractors, or customers to fall into a black hole. Did the third party actually receive the information? If so, what did the third party do with it, did the third party even view what was sent? Using 3P Direct organizations gain greater control of the process, with full tracking and reporting of third-party interactions. The internal party knows when external parties have opened email links, when they have viewed or marked up files, and when they have downloaded the files. This full-tracking benefit allows organizations to review and improve their processes and provide better litigation support.
