TECOSIM developed TEC|BENCH specifically for benchmarking. The TEC|BENCH process enables us to offer our customers the opportunity to acquire a better understanding of a reference product and use such knowledge in their own product development. This provides them with a decisive advantage over the competition.

VIRTUAL BENCHMARKING
Benchmarking – Definition
“Benchmarking is the continuous process of measuring products, services and practices against the
toughest competitors or those companies recognized as industry leaders (best in class)”
Xerox company
Virtual product development – Definition
“Using virtual prototypes, engineering teams can quickly analyse a multitude of design options. This
approach results in better insights and decisions at the early development stages and helps to
accelerate the development of products that perform as expected first time right“
