ePPAP Magic

ePPAP Magic is a document management application for PPAP / PPF / EMPB handling used mainly in the automotive industry. It comes equipped with several practical and intuitive options.

Installing this tool is a fast and simple job that doesn't impose any difficulties. As far as the interface is concerned, it adopts a large main window with a pleasant and neatly organized structure.

New products can be added to the database by specifying product information, such as part number, version, status, reminder, date of release, family, sample size, document reference, mode revision level and part submission warrant, in addition to dates, people, attachments and comments.

You can also populate the database with people contact data (including list group and item). In the main app window you can check out a wide range of information concerning part numbers and filter displayed entries, as well as examine PPAP/PFF package documentation for any selected part and save as template.

It's also possible to view version controlled documents (VCD), the action plan, list manager, people, and logs. ePPAP Magic lets you modify the default locations for the database, lists, people, action list and version controlled docs, import products from external CSV files, back up data, repair the database if necessary, delete logs, and manage users.

No error dialogs popped up in our tests, and the software utility didn't hang or crash. Its impact on the overall performance of the machine was minimal, since it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly.

Taking into account its clear-cut interface and advanced settings, ePPAP Magic should meet the requirements of most users looking for a straightforward information manager for automotive production parts. Plus, it's free to use. Too bad it hasn't been updated for a while.
