Move critical files across plants, suppliers and engineering teams securely, reliably and without scripting so production doesn’t wait on people or brittle FTP batch jobs.


For manufacturers, file transfers are embedded in how the business runs. Supplier synchronization, production reporting, QA documentation and more rely on successful data exchanges with hundreds of partners across hybrid tech stacks. When manufacturers rely on email, one-off scripts or scattered schedulers, they risk:
Missed cutoffs and delayed handoffs leading to operational risk and halted production.
Workflow fragility between IT and OT systems that compounds with Industry 4.0 initiatives.
Uncontrolled sharing of sensitive IP (designs, specs, test data) and compliance exposure.
Progress secure file transfer solutions are built for distributed enterprises that need centralized control across highly segmented OT environments. By standardizing and automating file transfers, Progress reduces risky manual processes and gives IT leaders the governance, control and connectivity they need to power manufacturing success and growth.
Automate onboarding for new suppliers/partners and standardize how files are delivered and tracked without adding script sprawl.
Securely deliver CAD, drawings, specs and test data to suppliers and design partners.
Automatically route inspection reports, regulatory documents and material certifications to the right destinations.
Move production reports from plant export folders to HQ repositories reliably.
