Step 1: Bring one workflow

ECO, document approval, or BOM release process.

Step 2: We model it live

See your approvals, traceability, and controls in-product.

Step 3: Leave with rollout plan

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Most product teams outgrow spreadsheets.
Few can afford legacy PLM.

ECOs live in email threads

Approvals happen over email. Nobody knows the current status. Changes go live without sign-off.

Documents scattered across drives

SOPs, specs, and work instructions exist in three places. Which version is approved? Nobody's sure.

Audit prep takes weeks

You know the records exist somewhere. Finding them and proving traceability is a scramble every time.

HOW IT WORKS

One change request. Zero chaos.

Here's how a typical Engineering Change Order flows through Highstage — from initiation to release in hours, not weeks.

1

Engineer initiates the change request

Any team member creates a change request in Highstage — linking the affected BOM items, documents, and specs. All context attached from the start. No separate email needed.

2

Automatic impact analysis Automated

Highstage surfaces what else is affected — related documents, downstream assemblies, open production orders — so reviewers have full context before approving.

3

Stakeholders review and approve Notified

Configured approval routing sends the change to the right people — engineering, quality, regulatory — with deadlines and comments tracked in one record. No inbox hunting.

4

Change is approved and locked

Once signed off, Highstage locks the record, timestamps every approval, and updates BOM and document revisions automatically.

5

Full audit trail. Always.

Every action — who changed what, when, and why — is permanently logged. Export audit-ready reports in one click for ISO or FDA reviews.
