Threekit - OpenText File 360 Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Threekit and OpenText File 360

Threekit and OpenText File 360 complement each other well in enterprise environments where product visualization, controlled content distribution, and secure collaboration must work together. Threekit creates and manages rich 3D, AR, and configurable product assets, while OpenText File 360 provides governed file sharing, access control, and auditability for internal and external stakeholders. Integrating the two helps teams move visual content securely across product, sales, marketing, and partner workflows.

1. Secure distribution of approved 3D product assets to sales and channel teams

Data flow: Threekit to OpenText File 360

When product marketing or merchandising teams finalize a 3D model, configuration set, or rendered image pack in Threekit, the approved files can be automatically published to OpenText File 360 for controlled access by regional sales teams, distributors, and channel partners. This ensures only the latest approved assets are shared, with permissions limiting access by geography, brand, or partner tier.

Business value: Reduces version confusion, speeds up asset distribution, and ensures external teams use compliant, brand-approved visuals.

2. Controlled sharing of customizable product visuals with dealers and resellers

Data flow: Bi-directional

Manufacturers can use Threekit to generate product configuration visuals for dealer enablement, then store and share those assets through OpenText File 360 with strict access controls. Dealers can review, download, or comment on approved assets without exposing the broader product library. Feedback from dealers on missing variants or market-specific needs can be returned through File 360 collaboration workflows and used to update Threekit content.

Business value: Improves dealer readiness, supports faster product launches, and keeps sensitive product content under governance.

3. Secure approval workflow for marketing and e-commerce visual assets

Data flow: Threekit to OpenText File 360

Marketing teams can generate product images, AR views, and configuration renders in Threekit, then route them into OpenText File 360 for review and approval by legal, brand, compliance, and product teams. Once approved, the final assets can be released for use in e-commerce, campaigns, and partner portals. Audit trails in File 360 provide evidence of who approved each asset and when.

Business value: Shortens approval cycles, improves governance, and reduces the risk of publishing unapproved or inaccurate product content.

4. Secure exchange of customer-specific configuration files for complex sales cycles

Data flow: Threekit to OpenText File 360 and OpenText File 360 to Threekit

For high-value or configurable products such as furniture, industrial equipment, or automotive accessories, sales teams can use Threekit to create customer-specific configuration outputs, including images, spec sheets, and visual summaries. These files can be stored in OpenText File 360 and shared securely with prospects, procurement teams, or internal approvers. If the customer requests changes, updated configuration files can be returned to Threekit for revision.

Business value: Supports complex quote-to-order processes, improves customer confidence, and creates a secure record of configuration decisions.

5. Governance for product launch content across internal and external stakeholders

Data flow: Threekit to OpenText File 360

During a product launch, Threekit can generate the full set of visual assets needed for launch readiness, including hero images, variant renders, and interactive product views. OpenText File 360 can serve as the governed distribution layer for launch teams, agencies, retailers, and distributors. Access can be staged so internal teams see draft materials while external partners only receive final launch-approved files.

Business value: Coordinates launch execution, prevents premature content leakage, and ensures all stakeholders work from the same approved materials.

6. Secure storage and sharing of AR and 3D asset packages for field teams

Data flow: Threekit to OpenText File 360

Field sales, showroom, and customer success teams often need lightweight access to 3D models, AR links, and supporting visual assets for presentations and demos. Threekit can generate these assets, and OpenText File 360 can provide a secure repository for sharing them with mobile teams and remote users. File 360 permissions ensure that only authorized employees or partners can access sensitive product visuals before public release.

Business value: Improves field enablement, supports consistent product storytelling, and protects unreleased product content.

7. Audit-ready retention of visual content used in regulated industries

Data flow: Threekit to OpenText File 360

In regulated sectors such as medical devices, automotive, or industrial manufacturing, visual product content may need to be retained for compliance, traceability, or dispute resolution. Threekit can generate the final approved visual assets, while OpenText File 360 stores them with retention policies, access logs, and audit history. This creates a defensible record of what was shown to customers or partners at a given point in time.

Business value: Supports compliance requirements, simplifies audits, and reduces risk in regulated sales and marketing processes.

8. Centralized collaboration on product content updates and exceptions

Data flow: Bi-directional

When product teams identify a need for new variants, colorways, or regional content, they can use OpenText File 360 to share change requests, reference files, and supporting documentation with design and merchandising teams. Those teams can update the visual experience in Threekit and return revised assets through the same governed collaboration channel. This creates a controlled workflow for managing exceptions, corrections, and localized content updates.

Business value: Reduces email-based file exchange, improves accountability, and accelerates updates to product visualization content.
