What is manual BOM work actually costing you?

Every hour your engineers spend re-keying BOM data into your ERP is an hour they're not designing. Every BOM error that slips through means a delay, a wrong part ordered, or a rework cycle somewhere downstream. Most manufacturers have never put a number on it.

Number of engineers on your team How many engineers are involved in getting design data ready for your ERP?

Average hours per week spent on BOM data entry Per engineer. Include re-entry, formatting, and manual checks.

BOM errors caught (or missed) per month Wrong quantities, missing parts, mismatched revisions: anything that reaches purchasing or the shop floor before it's caught.

Enter your team's numbers below. See what a year of manual handoffs is really costing you, and what closing that gap could be worth.

Here's how we get to that number. Take your engineers' time, multiply it by the hours a manual handoff actually takes, then add the compounding cost of errors that aren't caught until they're already expensive to fix. Same math we use for every CADTALK customer's ROI.

CADTALK closes that gap with a smart configuration engine. It reads BOM data directly from your CAD or PDM environment and writes it into your ERP automatically. No manual re-entry. No custom development. Your ERP is already capable of the scheduling, costing, and planning accuracy it was built to deliver. It just needs the data to do it.

Lead time improvement is 80%. Typical CADTALK ROI is 2 to 4 months based on recovered engineering hours alone.
