LOS ANGELES, CA, May 15, 2025 – Duro has announced its technology partner program and initial members. The partner ecosystem Duro has and continues to build enables its customers to create a complete digital thread for their products, from initial design all the way through manufacturing, maintenance, service, and retirement.
“Our partner program reflects how the Duro platform itself is built – flexible, connected, and ready out-of-the-box,” said Michael Corr, CEO of Duro. “Our collaborative model helps customers avoid vendor lock-in, eliminate information silos, and create a digital thread that supports agile product development and faster delivery.”
As hardware development becomes technically advanced, companies are seeking PLM systems that connect with other core systems. Isolated data across departments increases manual tasks, limits collaboration, and reduces traceability. This often delays launch timelines, particularly in regulated industries such as aerospace, defense, and medical devices.
“Tulip’s mission to bring visibility and adaptability to frontline operations aligns with Duro’s vision for connected product development,” said Natalia Gutierrez, ecosystem product marketing manager at Tulip. Together, we’re enabling manufacturers to bridge the gap between design and production, transforming how product data is consumed on the shop floor. By connecting engineering and operations in real time, we’re helping teams move faster, reduce errors, and bring better products to market.”
Unlike traditional PLMs, Duro supports easier integration and better visibility into connected tools. It provides customer-facing resources and an open GraphQL API, enabling external developers to build custom integrations for specific workflows. This method helps speed up onboarding, enhances information flow, and improves cross-team collaboration by reducing silos and centralizing product data.
Duro’s partner program is structured to support both technical integration and business development. In addition to facilitating platform connectivity, the program offers co-marketing and go-to-market resources. These include co-branded webinars, jointly developed content, video production (both in-person and virtual), coordinated social media and email promotion, case studies highlighting shared customer outcomes, and visibility through website listings and backlinking. The goal is to help partners drive demand and expand market reach.
“First Resonance helps manufacturers move faster by connecting real-time data across engineering and operations,” said Karan Talati, CEO & Co-Founder at First Resonance. “Integrating ION with Duro PLM bridges the gap between product design and factory workflows, creating a powerful feedback loop that enables faster iterations, fewer errors, and greater agility. We’re proud to partner with Duro to modernize the end-to-end manufacturing stack.”
