Turn CAD designs into BOMs and RFQs to reduce manual work, save engineering time, and minimise errors across production.
Many ERP systems, including those built for manufacturing, still leave engineering disconnected from the rest of the business. Genius ERP works differently. Our CAD integration connects engineering directly with purchasing and production, helping manufacturers improve communication and keep work moving.
CAD2BOM also supports true concurrent engineering with progressive release, allowing production to begin on early project stages while engineering teams continue developing later phases.
Reduce delays and improve lead times with CAD2BOM. Access design revisions in real time from the shop floor, identify material requirements earlier, and spot delayed components before they impact production schedules. Create new products from scratch or use previous jobs, specifications and historical information to speed up custom design work and improve planning accuracy.
Generate a production-ready BOM from your CAD designs in one click. Create preliminary purchasing lists before the full BOM is complete, so long lead-time items can be ordered sooner. Genius ERP keeps BOM and purchasing information connected, giving everyone accurate, up-to-date information and better visibility as projects move from engineering into production.
By keeping CAD software and Genius ERP synchronised, teams can avoid repetitive data entry and reduce errors caused by disconnected systems. Comparative display tools make it easier to identify differences and maintain accurate information throughout the process. Create more reliable quotes and estimates earlier in the design phase while using real-time information to support day-to-day decisions.
Stop repeating manual tasks such as entering operations, materials and manufacturing information part by part and assembly by assembly. Give engineers more time to focus on engineering work instead of administration. Import CAD models directly into Genius ERP with a single click to create accurate BOMs ready for purchasing and production. Easily review, edit and refine information when needed.
Whether you work in engineering, purchasing, production or management, Genius ERP gives you the tools and information you need to get the job done right.
Convert CAD models into detailed, multi-level BOMs with one click, helping engineers reduce manual work and improve productivity. Track engineering activity with integrated reporting tools that provide visibility into workflows, workloads, assignments and time tracking. Concurrent engineering capabilities also help reduce product development time.
CAD2BOM removes repetitive work such as manually entering operations, materials and costing information for every part and assembly. The interface also gives users a clear view of manufacturing information and allows updates directly from CAD properties where needed.
Use CAD2BOM to create a detailed Bill of Manufacturing with routing steps and work instructions, ready for purchasing and production. Share design progress, drawings and estimates for approval, track revisions, monitor milestones and keep feedback connected to the job.
CAD2BOM also supports concurrent engineering, helping production start sooner while engineering work continues. This can shorten development time, reduce delays and help projects move through the business more efficiently.
From businesses buying their first ERP system to manufacturers replacing outdated software, companies choose Genius ERP to improve visibility, keep production moving, and gain better control across their operations. See how they’ve done it.
CAD2BOM is a process that converts CAD designs directly into a bill of materials (BOM) inside an ERP system. Instead of manually re-entering parts, materials and manufacturing information, CAD2BOM automatically transfers data from engineering into production. This helps manufacturers reduce manual work, improve accuracy and move projects from design into production more efficiently.
A Bill of Materials (BOM) is a complete list of the parts, materials, components and quantities needed to manufacture a product. It often also includes routing information, work instructions and manufacturing details. A clear and accurate BOM helps manufacturers improve purchasing, production planning and inventory management while reducing errors and delays.
Engineer-to-Order (ETO) manufacturing is a production approach where products are designed and engineered to meet specific customer requirements. Unlike standard products, ETO projects often involve custom designs, changing specifications and close coordination between engineering, purchasing and production. Manufacturers working in ETO environments often require ERP software that can manage revisions, custom BOMs and project-based workflows.
Connecting engineering to your ERP creates a more consistent flow of information across the business. Design changes, BOM updates and manufacturing details can move directly from engineering into purchasing and production without manual re-entry. This helps reduce errors, improve visibility and shorten the time it takes to move products into production.
ERP software supports concurrent engineering by allowing different stages of a project to progress at the same time. Purchasing can begin ordering long lead-time materials while engineering work continues on later stages of a design. This helps manufacturers reduce delays, improve lead times and bring products to market more quickly.
