About the Company

Quick Release_ is a go-to global provider of Product and Engineering Data management. 400 hands-on professionals work to build capability, accelerate development programmes, and enhance engineering teams' efficiency alongside some of the largest, most innovative and prestigious manufacturers, technologists and Tier suppliers. Recognised by Forbes and the FT as a leading consultancy for automotive, we are increasingly partnering with space, defence, and aero organisations.

QR_'s mission is to enhance competitive advantage by bringing products to market faster and more efficiently. We do this by improving engineering data quality and flow through every part of a business from design to line and forward into in-service upgrades and maintenance. Operationally our expertise is clustered around Master Product Data, Prototype Build and Launch, and Production, Service and Maintenance, while strategically we drive change through Operational Performance Improvement, and Enterprise Lifecycle Transformation.

Convinced organisations must become truly data-driven to meet global challenges, but believing systems are not the only answer, QR_'s Quite Refreshing process focuses on getting data right, keeping it right, and delivering actionable insights to the right people at the right time. Identifying and tackling the biggest blockers of productivity, QR_ releases engineers to focus on the product, not the data.

And unlike many PLM vendors or big-name consultants, QR_ can combine big picture insights with unobtrusive implementation of meaningful and measurable improvements utilising existing systems and data sources. Make change not slides!
