For OEMs

Know which variants a change affects

You build customer-specific variants on a shared base. Verca shows what a change to the base actually affects.

One component swap, four variants

A component is discontinued and swapped in the base BOM, but only reaches the variants that inherit it.

Responsibility shifts per variant

Whoever sells under their own name or trademark is regarded as the manufacturer. That may be you for one variant and the customer for the next.

  1. 01

    Establish the role

    For each variant, determine who sells under their own name. That decides who is the manufacturer in the regulatory sense.

  2. 02

    Scope the variant

    Define what separates the variant from the base platform: items, configuration and intended use.

  3. 03

    Derive the requirements

    Establish which legal acts and requirements follow from the deviation, and which are already covered by the base.

  4. 04

    Connect the evidence

    Inherit what applies to the base platform and produce what the variant needs on its own.

  5. 05

    Handle the change

    Judge whether a component swap is substantial and reassess the evidence it affects.

A structure that holds variants

The variant inherits the base platform's evidence and the variant-specific is marked. On a swap, Verca points out which variants are affected.

  • Every variant linked to its base and its deviations
  • Affected variants identified at every component swap
  • Reassessments and customer sharing kept per variant

Verca structures, you decide

The platform holds variants, items and evidence together and shows what a change affects. The judgement on whether the variant still conforms stays with you.

Verca

Holds the variants together

  • Structures base platform, variants and items
  • Shows what is inherited and what is variant-specific
  • Traces changes, reassessments and sharing

Your team

Owns the judgement

  • Determines which role you hold for each variant
  • Judges whether a change is substantial
  • Decides whether the variant still conforms

Start with one variant family

Bring one base platform and the variants you have built on it. We will show you how inheritance, deviations and changes can connect in Verca.
