Modules · Inventory / Design Control (ERP/PPAP)

Where quality meets
what you make and buy.

Two capabilities that connect your QMS to the product itself. Design Control traces design inputs to outputs and proves each with verification and validation — so the DHF or PPAP package assembles as the project moves, not the week before submission. Inventory tracks materials, lots, locations, and receiving — traceable forward into the work order and back to the supplier. The design that defines the product and the materials that build it, both inside the QMS instead of a separate ERP or PLM silo. Because TLM is two apps on one system, the floor transacts in a browser while engineering and quality own the controls.

What it does

The design that defines it, and the materials that build it — both under control.

Design inputs to validated outputs

Capture requirements, trace them to design outputs, and prove each with verification and validation — so nothing ships that the design didn’t actually demonstrate.

The DHF / design record, assembled

The design history file or PPAP package builds as the project moves — not reconstructed the week before a submission or an audit.

PPAP-ready

Organize the elements a PPAP submission needs — so an automotive customer’s package is a click, not a fire drill across four spreadsheets.

Inventory with real traceability

Materials, lots, locations, and receiving — traced forward into the work order and back to the supplier, on demand, not after a paper hunt.

Min/max and receiving

Know what’s on hand, what’s due, and what to reorder — the ERP basics your QMS actually needs, without an ERP implementation project.

One thread from design to build

The design defines it, inventory supplies it, the work order consumes it — connected inside one system, not copied between an ERP, a PLM, and a QMS.

The dual-app advantage

One system. Two apps. The right tool for every person.

TLM runs as a deep desktop/network Main App and a modern browser Web App on one shared database. Engineering and quality own the controls; the floor just transacts.

Main App Depth & control
Engineering · quality · materials planners
  • Define design phases, inputs/outputs, and the DHF / PPAP structure
  • Set up inventory items, locations, min/max, and receiving rules
  • Link designs and materials to work orders and suppliers
  • The complete design and inventory record of truth
  • Reporting on design status, stock, and PPAP readiness
Web App Reach & simplicity
Engineers · the floor · receiving · remote
  • Log design outputs, verification, and validation results
  • Receive and transact inventory by lot, from any device
  • See stock on hand, what’s due, and design status at a glance
  • Modern web reports — stock, PPAP readiness, scheduled alerts

Same data, same system — pick the front door that fits the person.

The AI advantage · TLM, multiplied by Claude

What does this design still need to prove?

Ask Claude to check a design’s verification and validation coverage against its inputs — what’s proven, what’s still open — summarize a DHF for review, or tell you what’s running low on stock. The gaps found before an auditor or a stock-out finds them.

One connected system

From the drawing to the stockroom to the build.

The approved design becomes what a work order builds; inventory supplies its materials by lot; a design change routes through Change Control; and a material problem opens a nonconformance. Design, materials, and production stay one connected thread — not three systems you reconcile by hand.

See it live

Is your DHF a system — or a folder of hope?

If your design history file or PPAP package lives across shared drives and inboxes, bring it. In a 20-minute demo we’ll show design control and inventory working as one connected thread inside your QMS.
