Tekla integration

CADTALK ERP is an off-the-shelf integration between Tekla and your ERP. It reads your Tekla Reports and transforms them into manufacturing-ready items, BOMs, and routings.

For steel fabricators and precast producers, every project is a long list of members, plates, connections, and assemblies. Tekla already reports it. CADTALK takes those reports straight into the ERP, so nobody rebuilds the job line by line. Rules group members into assemblies, assign stock material, convert units, and add fabrication operations.

Key Tekla integration features

  • Reads Tekla Reports. No re-keying, no custom development.
  • Turns structural members and assemblies into ERP items, multi-level BOMs, and routings.
  • Revised reports merge as changes, so the ERP follows the model through the project.


Why getting Tekla and your ERP talking pays off

Structural projects are big and they change. Keying a report into the ERP takes hours, and doing it again after every revision is how the shop ends up cutting from an old version.

One product record from model to shop

The ERP job matches the Tekla model, so the shop fabricates the current design.

Revisions without rework

When the model changes, CADTALK finds the delta in the new report and merges only the changes.
