1. Share designs in real time across the globe.
Get the best out of your digital assets with AVA Synchronize, our digital asset management software. Its unique integration with the AVA design software means you can store and retrieve all your digital design assets directly through the web from and to your CAD system. AVA Synchronize serves as a central storage area for all your digital information needs. By storing designs on any networked device and synchronizing them, your files can be stored and retrieved safely and securely from any location at any time. AVA Synchronize includes a warning system which provides an alert if two operators are using the same asset at the same time or if later versions are available. This enables users to cache designs locally to reduce download bandwidth and maximise the speed of opening designs - safer in the knowledge that the system will automatically warn them if they are not using the latest version of the file. Synchronize colourway information can be instantly synchronized across many sites without resending large digital files.

2. Make teamwork across the globe a reality.
AVA Synchronize facilitates the communication and sharing of design information between operators, managers, customers and suppliers, wherever they are based. All of your design and colour information is kept in one place and is easily accessible to anyone with access to the web and the appropriate security passwords. In-built action tools increase productivity across the whole team by allowing for real time exchange of design information and comments during the creation process. Attach relevant information to each stored asset and then search for designs based on the information used to describe them.

3. Accelerate your product development.
Accelerate product development times, and reduce costs in every area of your business process. AVA Synchronize enables users to attach relevant metadata to designs such as design name, creation date, copyright information etc. All metadata can be made searchable and is instantly accessible to all users.
