Product lifecycle management · Agent-ready API
AI agent-ready PLM
Your product data, your way.
Product lifecycle management (PLM) that bends to your products, so you can design and launch faster. Model your parts, products, formulas, and BOMs the way they really are, keep one source of truth instead of brittle spreadsheets and rigid PLM tools, then work in a fast grid or let AI agents discover your schema and safely do the data work through the API.
Cloud-hosted, nothing to run. Free plan, no card.
ManyRows standardizes the data and the processes behind innovating, developing and commercializing products, so your best ideas reach the market instead of stalling.
Any shape,
one spine.
Group types under a base type to share a common spine of fields, then give each type whatever else it needs. A Part, a Formula, a Finished Good: each its own shape, all inheriting the shared and built-in fields, and never losing sort or search across them.
- Polymorphic entity types & item shapes
- Shared fields, define once, inherited everywhere
- Field groups keep each type organised
- Built-in fields on every type: id, name, timestamps
Strongly typed fields
The multi-level bill of materials.
What goes into what. Some things are built out of other things, and those get a proper structure you can open level by level, add costs and lead times all the way up, hold against a frozen version to see what moved, and read backwards from a single bolt to every product it ends up in. Anything that isn’t an assembly never grows a parts list at all.
13 lines across 3 levels. Open any branch to go deeper, or start from one bolt and see every product it ends up in.
Compare anything, field by field.
Put two records next to each other and surface exactly what differs. Flip on a differences-only view to reconcile variants and suppliers, or to review a change before it ships.
- Side-by-side product comparison
- Differences-only view
- BOM diff & frozen structure baselines
- Works across any entity type
An admin grid
that gets it.
Edit inline, filter, sort, and save views. The grid respects every field type (money, dates, references, images) and remembers how you like to work. Product data management without a training course.
- Inline cell editing, faceted filters & sort
- Saved views per type, with filter-scoped totals
- Bulk edit & project-wide search
- Reference pickers & image thumbnails
Put AI agents to work
Connect any tool-using agent through hosted MCP with a scoped key—no custom integration layer required. Explicitly authorize it to build and safely evolve your schema, then let it validate and update records and BOMs, run quality and planning work, and submit governed changes for human approval.
PLM, end to end.
Centralize product data, structures, and attributes, route the work through your teams, and launch with traceability, all on one typed platform.
One home for every product
Model parts, products, structures, and attributes on one typed spine, with lifecycle status built in, not scattered across spreadsheets.
Create, configure, approve
Stand up new products and items, shape their attributes field by field, and route changes through change requests (staged working copies, named approvers, atomic apply), with every revision kept.
One record every team reads
Design, supply chain, manufacturing, and quality all work from the same source of truth, over a fast grid or the API.
Let agents do the busywork
Agents can build and safely evolve the schema with a dedicated permission, discover API limits at runtime, validate work in batches, and drive repetitive data entry and governed workflows while people keep approval control.
Release with control
Freeze an exact product configuration, decide when it takes effect, and run the rollout with owners, prerequisites, readiness checks and evidence. See drift before you call the launch complete.
Plan, cost, and check
Size specs with grading, Time & Action calendars with milestone tracking, costing sheets with frozen snapshots, and quality checks with dispositions. The PLM toolkit is built in, not bolted on.
Built for the product lifecycle.
From a first idea to a shipping product, ManyRows covers the work in between.
Connect your whole product story
Model parts, products, formulas, suppliers, and changes on one typed data model, from a first idea to a shipping product, so every team works from the same source of truth instead of scattered files.
One product record, across every tool
Give each item a stable reference and a shared spine of fields, then read and write it from any app over the API. One product record, not copies drifting apart across systems.
Get from idea to launch faster
Stand up a new product type in minutes, not a quarter. Capture new products, track engineering changes, and reshape the model as the product evolves.
Build quality in, with full traceability
See where every component is used, trace a lot’s recall impact through its genealogy, compare two records field by field, and read a full audit log of who changed what. Catch problems before they ship.
Give your AI agents real tools
Connect any tool-using agent through hosted MCP with a scoped key, or generate tools from OpenAPI. Give it explicit schema access to build the model, then let it update records, author BOMs, run quality and planning work, and propose governed changes.
Everything in the model.
A schema you can group and share, over twenty field types, BOMs with real governance, a full PLM toolkit, a grid to drive it, and an API over all of it. One product, one workspace.
Your data stays yours.
Who can see it, what happened to it, and how you get it back out. The three questions worth asking any product data platform, answered before you have to ask them.
Before you start.
The questions that come up in the first ten minutes, answered here instead of on a call.
- Do we have to move everything at once?
- No. Start with one product line, or one kind of record, and leave the rest where it is. Types are added one at a time as you need them, so there is no big-bang migration and no cut-over weekend.
- Can we bring our existing spreadsheets?
- Yes. Map columns to fields in the browser, preview what will happen, and upload in chunks that update matching records instead of duplicating them. There is an AI route too: export a spec of your schema, have any model generate the rows, and import them straight back.
- Does everything need a BOM and an approval step?
- No, and that is deliberate. Structures and change control are switched on per entity type. A materials catalogue can stay a plain list while a finished product carries a multi-level BOM and routes every edit through a change request.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. Connect an AI agent to hosted MCP with a scoped API key, or generate tools from the public OpenAPI contract. With explicit permission it can build and safely evolve the schema, then manage records, BOMs, categories, quality checks, planning milestones, and governed change proposals without manual dashboard entry. Read the API docs
- How do we give a supplier or a contractor access?
- For a handoff, send a frozen, expiring record link with only the fields, images, measurements and BOM sections they need. It opens without an account, can carry a recipient mark and passphrase, and can be revoked at any time. For ongoing work, roles are granted per project rather than across the whole account. See sharing and access controls
- What happens if two people edit the same record?
- The second save is refused rather than quietly overwriting the first. Where a type is under change control, edits collect in a working copy with its own approvals and land in one act, so a change cannot be half-applied between two people.
