Vault PLM includes Vault Professional for product data management (PDM) with Autodesk Fusion Manage for cloud-based product lifecycle management (PLM) in a single bundled solution. It combines the data management capabilities of Vault PDM with enterprise-grade PLM functionality, including structured change management, bill of materials (BOM) management, quality processes, and open APIs for integration with other business systems. Vault PLM helps manufacturers streamline product development, improve collaboration across teams, and accelerate time to market while maintaining control over product data.

Vault PDM focuses on managing CAD files, design data, and version control specifically for engineering teams. Vault PLM extends those capabilities beyond engineering by adding structured change order and change request workflows, comprehensive item and BOM management, quality management processes, new product introduction processes, and cross-department collaboration tools. While Vault PDM provides design data control, Vault PLM connects engineering with manufacturing, supply chain, operations, quality, and other business functions to manage the entire product lifecycle.

Vault PLM combines Autodesk Vault Professional and Autodesk Fusion Manage into a single solution that connects engineering data management with enterprise lifecycle processes. Vault Professional provides on-premises PDM for managing CAD files, revisions, and design collaboration, while Fusion Manage delivers cloud-based PLM capabilities for change management, BOM control, quality processes, and cross-functional workflows. In short, Vault PLM offers both PDM and PLM together, whereas Fusion Manage PLM is the standalone cloud PLM solution without bundled Vault data management.
