PTC Codebeamer was built to support rigorous processes, deep traceability, and compliance in large engineering organizations. But as products have grown more complex, the tools meant to manage that complexity have become complex themselves. Modern R&D operates at a scale where requirements are touched by many roles, not just specialists, and tools must support that reality.

Codebeamer places a heavy cognitive load on everyday users. Its power is exposed through dense configuration, rigid workflows, and interfaces that require training before they feel usable. Teams often rely on administrators or expert users to keep work moving, turning the tool into a bottleneck rather than an enabler.

When requirements tools feel hard to use, collaboration naturally shifts elsewhere, while the “system of record” falls behind. Modern R&D doesn’t need more configuration or features. It needs tools that make complex work feel intuitive.

Trace.Space is built for the reality of modern systems engineering: high complexity, fast iteration, and continuous change. Instead of treating requirements as static records, Trace.Space treats them as living system assets that evolve continuously as products change.

‍AI-Native, Embedded in the Workflow
‍AI is built directly into everyday engineering work to accelerate requirements creation, analyze traceability in real time, and surface change impact, gaps, and duplication early.

‍Built for Scale
‍Trace.Space is designed to handle hundreds of thousands of interconnected requirements and traces without performance degradation or workflow slowdowns.

‍Deployment on Your Terms
‍Trace.Space can be deployed on-prem or in the cloud, giving you full control over security, compliance, and infrastructure without sacrificing functionality or speed.

‍Custom Integrations & Features
‍Open APIs and flexible architecture allow Trace.Space to integrate seamlessly with your existing tools. You can shape the product through custom features and integrations built together to support your most complex real-world needs.
