It's not going to be a walk in the cake, though, since the only way I've heard of to integrate with PDM is through some .NET DLL.
Forgive me – as I'm a programmer first and foremost, and know next to nothing about Solidworks (we use Autodesk) – but couldn't you do something with git? It might be easier than interfacing with PDM – as there are plenty of projects like Github, Gitorious, Gitlab, etc. which could be used as a reference point. You could even update the status of each part by a prefix in the commit message or something. Just a thought.
