ODM Trace is a simple requirements management tool for ODM IoT hardware teams — connecting Customer, Stakeholder, System, Hardware and Software requirements into a single auditable thread, with the right approvals at the right stage.
Requirement lineage
What it does
Simple requirements management and full traceability, built for managers who need clarity and engineers who need structure — without asking either to change how they work.
Customer → Stakeholder → System → Hardware → Software. Every child links back to its parent automatically, so coverage is never a guessing game.
Each requirement routes to the right approver — PM, Tech Lead, HW Lead, SW Lead — with a mandatory comment enforced on every rejection.
Drop in a spreadsheet, map the columns, and catch duplicates or missing fields before anything hits the system.
Exports from Cameo, Rhapsody or Office live inside the project — versioned, timestamped, and linked back to the requirements they support.
Tag requirements against a shared feature list and see, at a glance, what's covered — and what's quietly falling through.
Open requests, approval rate, cycle time, and a live traceability matrix — filtered to what each role actually needs to see.
How it flows
From project kickoff to a traced, approved specification — the same seven steps, every time.
Create the project, invite the team, and assign roles.
Customer and Stakeholder Requirements go in directly, or arrive via Excel import.
Requirements move through Draft → In Review → Approved, Rejected, or On Hold.
Concept design and MBSE work happens in dedicated tools — Cameo, Rhapsody, and others.
PDF, Word, and Excel exports are uploaded and stored with full version history.
Entered or imported as children, traced back to their approved source requirements.
System, Hardware and Software requirements go through their own type-specific approval.
Early access
We're building ODM Trace in the open. Leave your details and we'll keep you posted as milestones land — plus early access the moment Phase 1 goes live.
We'll email you as milestones land — and first, when Phase 1 opens up.
