You want to provide your employees and customers with standardized documentation?
Documentation Hub
More complex machines, a wide variety of models, old and new problems — even experienced service technicians occasionally need to refer to further documentation and information.
Searching for it takes time and, taking into account longer production delays or downtimes, consequently costs money.
You would also like to provide your customers with digital manuals, documents and information?
With the bitnamic CONNECT – Documentation Hub, your employees and customers will always find the right documentation and information at the right time.
Solve problems independently

Prepare scenes and use them in documentation
Save 3D models (including annotations, fade-outs, markers, selected degree of explosion, etc.) in the form of scenes for later use in instructions.
Always the right information at any time
Fields of application
With the bitnamic CONNECT – Documentation Hub, you benefit from a wide range of possible applications in various fields:
Maintenance and repair instructions
In maintenance, clear instructions for service and repair work are essential. Enable the provision, creation and updating of instructions so that technicians always have access to the latest information.
Standardized, secured and documented processes
Guarantee the standardization of your service and maintenance processes with clear workflows and step-by-step instructions. This ensures quality, the uniform execution of work and compliance with important safety guidelines and procedures. The central management of instructions ensures that employees always have access to this information.
Provision of documentation and manuals for customers
The provision of documentation for your products is extremely important for your customers. Give them standardized access to this information and make them aware of further information on products and services. Centralized management facilitates communication with your customers by allowing them to quickly retrieve up-to-date information.
Spare parts management and documentation
Provide categorized components and their parts. Save important content for these components, e.g. information on their use, instructions, technical data or even 3D visualizations. The connection to spare parts stores can be made via links or embedded content. As part of the Possehl company network, interfaces to the e‑commerce system of our partner Possehl Online Solutions are also possible.
Access to training material
Provide easy and secure access to training documents. Thanks to the Create-Once-Use-Everywhereapproach, learning and documentation content from Academy can also be used and accessed within the Documentation Hub. This makes it possible to view training documents such as videos and instructions even after successfully completing a training course.
Quality control and audits
Certain standards must be complied with during audits and quality controls, which can be mapped using step-by-step instructions. As part of the Possehl company network, interfaces to the audit systems of our partner Cluetec are also possible.
