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.
THE CADTALK PROCESS

Phase 7: CELEBRATE
Once live, we mark the win with formal closure, a LinkedIn spotlight, and a customer interview to share your transformation story with others.
Three Powerful Features Right Off the Shelf
1. Smart Configuration Engine
More than just a database—this intelligent engine translates CAD data into a format your ERP understands. It’s flexible, learns over time, and reduces manual work by creating rules that adapt to your engineering processes.
2. Visual Intelligence Interface
No more staring at spreadsheets or comparing items line by line. CADTALK allows you to instantly spot changes by using a simple red-yellow-green (traffic light) color system to show what’s new, what’s changed, and what’s unchanged. This birds-eye view helps catch structural issues early.
3. Adaptive Deployment Options
CADTALK utilizes three distinct modes to fit your team needs: Standalone for manufacturing and Operations teams, CAD-integrated mode for design engineers, and Automated service mode for hands-off operation. Scale as you need it. Work with or without CAD integration.
Three Benefits You’ll See Right Away
1
Enhanced Data Quality
Poor data quality isn't just an inconvenience – it's a business risk. Stop errors before they start. By pulling data directly from your CAD system, CADTALK ensures consistent formatting and eliminates costly mistakes caused by manual entry.
2
Dramatic Time Savings
Turn hours of work into seconds. CADTALK automates repetitive tasks like bill of material (BOM) transfers and makes validation quick and visual. This isn't just about saving time – it's about transforming how your team works. Tasks that used to consume entire afternoons now happen in the time it takes to grab a coffee.
3
Operational Excellence & Faster Time-to-Market
Break through production bottlenecks. CADTALK gets your products to market faster by aligning engineering and manufacturing with clean, connected data. CADTALK bridges the traditional gap between engineering and manufacturing by ensuring everyone works from the same accurate data.
