Founded in 2004 and located at the foot of Yandang Mountain, a national AAA-level scenic area, Zhejiang Tianchao Electric Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer of automotive lamp wiring harnesses, lamp sockets and switches. The company operates more than 80 sets of production, development and inspection equipment, and senior engineers and technical personnel account for over 20% of its workforce.

Guided by its philosophy of "standardised management, pioneering innovation, continuous improvement and customer satisfaction", the company puts people first and attaches great importance to new product development and investment in technology. As market competition intensifies, Tianchao Electric has been looking for a new breakthrough and intends to use a PLM system to manage its technology R&D platform. After repeated discussions with a number of PLM suppliers, SIPM Software won the high recognition of Tianchao's leadership and secured the contract, thanks to its profound understanding of R&D management and its reputation as a household name in China's auto parts industry.

We are confident that SIPM/PLM will give Tianchao Electric a still clearer edge in future market competition.
