Small manufacturers struggle with disconnected data

📑

BOMs everywhere

Engineering says one thing, production uses another. Revisions live in email threads.

🔍

Can't trace anything fast

When something goes wrong, finding what was built from what materials takes hours.

📊

Quality lives in spreadsheets

Inspection results are scattered. Test data isn't connected to production records.

🤷

Every review feels risky

Not because you're sloppy—because your data is scattered across too many places.

One connected system for parts, BOMs, materials, production, and quality

HV|Manufacturing™ replaces fragmented tools and tribal knowledge with a single source of truth. Structure that scales. Clarity that lasts.

Six integrated Quickbase applications

HVM | BOM
Product & Bill of Materials Management

Works standalone. Scales to orchestrate.

Use HVM as your system of record—or as the connective tissue between the systems you already have.

Small Manufacturers
A complete system of record

For teams that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need enterprise software. HVM runs your manufacturing data end-to-end.

  • Replace Excel with connected, structured data
  • No ERP replacement required
  • Start with what you need, add more later
  • Designed for lean teams
  • Get audit-ready without the overhead
Enterprise Digital Thread
Connect what you already have

For organizations with ERP, PLM, MES, or QMS platforms that need a coordination layer. HVM becomes the relational backbone.

  • Preserve relationships across systems
  • Unified lineage and traceability
  • Reporting across fragmented data
  • No forced standardization
  • Integrate without replacing

Right-sized for how you operate

Start with what you need. Scale when it makes sense. No replatforming required. Most customers start small and expand as operations mature.

Frequently Asked Questions

HV|Manufacturing is designed for small to mid-sized manufacturers that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected tools. It works equally well for companies that need a complete system of record and for larger organizations that want a lightweight digital thread to connect existing systems.
HVM is a manufacturing data platform, not an ERP. We don't try to run your whole business—accounting, HR, payroll. Instead, HVM focuses on the manufacturing core: parts, BOMs, materials, production, and quality. It works alongside whatever systems you already have, or it can be your primary system of record if you're replacing spreadsheets.
HV|Manufacturing is best described as a PLM-lite system. It delivers core PLM capabilities—parts management, BOMs, revision control, change tracking, and quality data—without the complexity or cost of enterprise PLM platforms like Siemens Teamcenter or PTC Windchill. It's designed for mid-market manufacturers who need real product lifecycle management but can't justify six-figure implementations. Many customers use it as their primary PLM, while others use it to extend or connect existing systems.
Yes. HVM is modular by design. Most customers start with BOM, Inventory, and Production, then add Procurement, Inspection, or QMS capabilities as their needs evolve. You only implement and pay for what you actually need.
No. End users do not need Quickbase experience. HVM is designed for manufacturing teams—engineering, operations, quality—not developers. HarborView handles configuration and setup as part of implementation.
Yes. While HVM is not limited to regulated manufacturers, its data structures support traceability, audit trails, and controlled records. Many customers use it successfully in FDA- and ISO-regulated environments, depending on how it is configured and governed.
Most customers see value within the first few weeks, once core data (parts, BOMs, inventory) is centralized and connected. Early wins typically include better visibility, fewer manual handoffs, and faster answers to operational questions.
Support includes platform maintenance, issue resolution, and guidance on expanding or adjusting your configuration as needs change. Advanced enhancements and integrations are scoped separately.
