COMAN Suite: What's changing - and why this is also important for experienced users

Written by Laura Kramer | Jun 4, 2026 1:01:23 PM

With the COMAN Suite, we are introducing a new product. This is a step that at first glance appears to be particularly relevant for new customers.

But as is so often the case:

It's not what's new that counts.
But what it makes possible in the system.

It is therefore worth taking a closer look, especially for experienced COMAN users.

 

What the COMAN Suite is - and what it is not

The COMAN Suite is a template-based software suite built on COMAN Mobile as its core.

The idea behind it:

Log in.
Select a project template.
Start working straight away.

Instead of configuring each project individually, predefined project templates are available that specify the scope of functions and structure.

To start with, there is only one template available: Defect Management.

Additional templates, such as those for digital acceptance or certification processes, are already in the works. However, this also means that, for the time being, the COMAN Suite can only be used for defect management - at a deliberately limited level with few configuration options.

👉 Important:
The COMAN Suite is not a replacement for existing COMAN solutions.
It is a new way of setting up projects.

The COMAN Suite reduces functionalities and restricts configuration options on purpose. Not to restrict possibilities - but to make it easier for new users to get started.

Beginners in particular benefit from clear structures, predefined templates and a focused range of functions. This makes day-to-day work quicker to understand and easier to master.

As an experienced user, you can already take advantage of COMAN's complete flexibility, customize projects and derive added value from them. The COMAN Suite in its current form is therefore primarily aimed at beginners - but its configuration options will grow in the future.

 

What does this mean for you as an experienced COMAN user?

In a nutshell:

👉 Not much at first - at least not directly.

If you are currently working with the COMAN Manager, the mobile app or the dashboard, you are already using COMAN at a very high level.

The COMAN Suite does not replace this way of working.
Nor should it.

The real added value lies elsewhere.

The change happens under the surface

To make the COMAN Suite possible at all, we have fundamentally developed the core of the COMAN software.

These changes are not a feature update.
They are structural preparations.

A key result of this work are the new admin settings, which significantly simplifies user and rights management:

    • assign clear roles (e.g. project owner, employees, guests)
    • Simple assignment of rights
    • Clear administration - even with many projects

What used to be complex and time-consuming is now much more streamlined.

 

Preparation for SaaS, subscriptions and web applications

The COMAN Suite is available as a subscription model.
To make this possible, a far-reaching conversion of the backend was necessary.

This conversion creates the basis for

    • modern SaaS structures
    • project-based templates
    • simpler scaling
    • more functions directly in the web application

Today, the COMAN Manager is still required for many fundamental changes.
In the future, this is exactly what should become easier.

Why this will also be relevant for you in the long term

Even if you don't currently need the COMAN Suite, you will benefit from precisely these changes in the medium and long term:

    • Simpler user and rights management
    • Faster further development of the platform
    • Better transparency in projects
    • more control directly on the web app instead of via the Manager

Our goal is clear:

👉 Away from complex setups.
👉 Towards clear, controllable structures.

 

New opportunities for new departments

Another point that is relevant for many experienced users:

The COMAN Suite enables a lean entry for additional departments.

While central departments continue to work with the established COMAN solutions, other departments can, for example, start with reduced defect management - including

    • clearly defined roles
    • a simple range of functions
    • unlimited guest access, e.g. for suppliers

Without complex project setups.

 

Conclusion: The COMAN Suite is a foundation

The COMAN Suite is not a break with the status quo.
It is a technical foundation.

For new customers.
For new use cases.
And for continuous further development of the entire COMAN platform.

For you as an experienced COMAN user, this means:

👉 You stay where you are working successfully today.
👉 And benefit step by step from a better, more modern software basis.

Stay tuned to see what comes next. The foundation stone has been laid.
