Summary

The client needed to integrate their CAD system with Cloud ERP to remove data silos. Manual processes caused delays, duplicate data, BOM errors, and costing issues. They required real-time sync to speed up production, ensure accuracy, and stay profitable under tight deadlines.

The Challenge

CAD and ERP systems operated independently, causing duplicate and inconsistent data

Engineers manually transferred bill-of-materials data, introducing errors

Disconnected systems led to incorrect cost estimates and missed margins

Manual handoffs between design and production added weeks to timelines

The Solution

01 Cloud ERP integrated with CAD

The Cloud ERP system connects directly to the CAD platform, so the two stop operating as independent sources of truth and the duplicate, inconsistent records between them go away.

02 Automatic BOM and routing

Bills of materials and production routings are generated from the CAD model itself. Engineers no longer retype BOM data between systems, which is where the errors were entering.

03 Real-time cost estimation

Costs are estimated in real time across materials, labor, outsourcing and R&D. Estimates now move with the design rather than being recalculated after the fact, which is what had been eroding margins.

04 Vendor and procurement automation

Procurement for outsourced components is automated against the same data, so vendor orders reflect the current design without a manual handoff.

05 Engineering change order updates

A dynamic update mechanism propagates engineering change orders through BOMs, routings and costs. Changes reach production in the same cycle instead of adding weeks of reconciliation.
