Powerful Features Right Off the Shelf

SMART CONFIGURATION ENGINE

WHAT IS IT?

We don’t just copy data – we transform it. Our engine understands that CAD and ERP systems speak different languages, and it quickly translates between them.

HOW DOES IT HELP YOU?

We dramatically reduce the need for manual intervention. A manufacturing company with 1,000+ unique parts can configure automated rules for 90% of their common engineering scenarios.

VISUAL INTELLIGENCE INTERFACE

WHAT IS IT?

An intuitive color-coded system that utilizes red, yellow, and green indicators of the traffic light system to quickly communicate the status of data transformation.

HOW DOES IT HELP YOU?

There’s no need for the mundane task of comparing changes line by line. With just a quick glance you can identify new, modified, and unchanged items.

ADAPTIVE DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS

WHAT IS IT?

CADTALK utilizes three distinct modes to fit your needs: Standalone for manufacturing teams, CAD-integrated mode for design engineers, and Fully Automated mode.

HOW DOES IT HELP YOU?

Every business has unique workflows and requirements. This allows us to meet your specific needs, whether you’re a small team or a large enterprise. Plus, we grow as your grow.

Immediate Benefits

ENHANCED DATA QUALITY

COMMON PROBLEM

Poor data quality is costly. A manufacturing error from incorrect data entry can cost tens of thousands of dollars in materials and labor.

OUR SOLUTION

CADTALK pulls data directly from your CAD system, keeping data consistent. We eliminate the human errors that inevitably creep in during manual data entry.

DRAMATIC TIME SAVINGS

COMMON PROBLEM

Manually transferring a bill of material for a simple part is doable, but what if it has dozens or even hundreds of components. An entire day’s worth of work is used up in one task.

OUR SOLUTION

Our speedy automation paired with our easy-to-read interface creates quite the team of efficiency. In the time it takes for you to make a pot of coffee, you can transform your data AND check your work.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

COMMON PROBLEM

Manual processes create bottlenecks in your system. Because of the bottlenecks you can’t get your product to market quickly. And that kills your revenue.

OUR SOLUTION

CADTALK can save hundreds of labor hours annually and unblock procedural bottlenecks. We accelerate your time-to-market and help you create a collaborative experience between your engineering and manufacturing teams.

CADTALK vs. Custom Integration

Is CADTALK right for your business?

Building a CAD-to-ERP integration in-house looks appealing on paper. Your team already knows your CAD system, your ERP, your processes, and your business rules. That's usually the case for building it yourself instead of paying for a platform.

What matters most is what happens after it's built: who maintains it, what breaks on the next upgrade, who catches downstream errors, and how long it takes before the first version is even live.

CADTALK vs. Custom Integration

Building a CAD-to-ERP integration in-house looks appealing on paper. What matters most is what happens after it's built.

	Custom Integration	CADTALK
Time to deploy	Scoped, built, and tested from scratch, competing with every other IT priority	Configurable, not custom
Maintenance burden	Depends on whoever wrote it, and on documentation that may or may not exist	A no-code rules engine your team manages directly
Upgrade resilience	Breaks when CAD or ERP versions change, then waits in a rework queue	Survives ERP upgrades, managed by your team without ongoing vendor involvement

A custom integration starts as a project and quietly turns into a dependency. It gets built by one developer, or one small team, against the CAD and ERP versions running at the time. It works, right up until one of those systems changes.

That's when the real cost shows up. An ERP upgrade or a CAD version change can break a custom build in ways that aren't obvious until something downstream is wrong. Fixing it means going back to whoever built it, if they're still around, or handing it to whoever's available now. Either way, it turns back into a project.

Maintenance burden works the same way. A smart configuration engine your team can open and adjust is a fundamentally different thing to own than code that only one person fully understands. CADTALK is configurable, not custom. Your team makes the change themselves, the same day, without waiting on a developer's calendar.

See the difference

Your ERP is a capable platform, and so is a well-built custom integration, for as long as nothing around it changes. CADTALK closes the same gap without the upgrade risk or the maintenance dependency: a smart configuration engine that reads BOM data directly from your CAD or PDM environment and writes it into your ERP, built to survive version changes.

Customers see engineering-to-manufacturing lead time drop by 80%, with payback in 2 to 4 months based on recovered engineering hours alone. For a 10-engineer team, that's $234K a year back in engineering capacity, capacity that doesn't get consumed maintaining an internal build.
