Cradle overview

What is Cradle?

Cradle is a requirements management solution designed to help businesses create, inter-link, and publish information across all stages of engineering projects. The solution enables administrators to create documents with user-defined layouts or templates, as well as track bugs, defects, and issues in the system, minimizing cyber threats.

Cradle allows businesses to define architectural models, design constraints, and utilize checklists to track task completion. Managers can store critical files in a centralized database and define policies to enforce role-based permissions across teams. Users can also import data to the platform via spreadsheets, document parsing, or manual entries, in addition to collaborating with team members on projects.

Cradle enables enterprises to maintain audit logs and receive alerts and notifications for projects. It allows users to reorganize the hierarchy of items such as requirements, user stories, or files using a drag-and-drop interface. Businesses can also generate reports with usage metrics, documents, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
