CADTALK ERP

Overview

Go from engineering to manufacturing 5x faster!

Here’s the problem!

You are a manufacturing company, and you do lots of engineering work. You create new and update existing items, bills of material (BOMs), and routings. You are doing this work today manually or, at best, you have a multi-step workflow that requires a spreadsheet, macros, and an import or copy and paste routine. Or worse, you tried another integration that didn't live up to the hype!

That process costs you up to $100,000 per year in data entry, BOM errors, rework expenses, and demoralizing your staff who would rather spend time designing and manufacturing than entering data. When a $1.00 Bill of Material mistake can cost up to 100X more if it gets to the customer and when engineering services are billed at $130 per hour, it does not take long to see that the current process won’t work anymore.

It’s time to get your engineering and manufacturing talking.... with CADTALK ERP!

HOW IT WORKS

CADTALK ERP is a completely off-the-shelf, intelligent, bi-directional integration between your CAD, PDM, or PLM and QAD Adaptive Manufacturing. CADTALK ERP reads data from any CAD, PDM, or PLM application transforming the engineering bill of materials (eBOM) into manufacturing bills of material (MBOM).

As a QAD Technology Partner, CADTALK ERP supports many areas in QAD Adaptive including Item Masters, product structures, and routings and much more. The integration creates new and updates existing QAD Item Masters, Product Structures and Routings, while identifying and tracking all changes and revisions between engineering and manufacturing. All of this in an easy to use, intuitive interface without ever logging into QAD Adaptive screens.

CADTALK ERP is so much more than an import and mapping utility. The CADTALK framework offers standardized, in-depth integrations coupled with expression-based, low-code, configurable intelligence that gives you the power to integrate your systems in hours and days rather than months and years. CADTALK ERP focuses on the entire engineering to manufacturing hand-off by supporting every aspect of the bill of material from item masters, product structures, and routings, to labor calculations, scrap percentages, vendors, manufacturers and more.

Bundled with CADTALK DFM, you will eliminate manual data entry, reduce errors, and get more value out of your Acumatica with accurate and consistent data transformation
