Transform CAD designs into BOMs and RFQs to save engineering time and reduce data entry and production errors.
Most ERP systems — even those designed for manufacturers — don’t prioritize engineers. But Genius ERP does. Our engineering ERP software connects your engineering team with your production floor, streamlining processes and improving collaboration.
Our engineering ERP solution also allows for true concurrent engineering with progressive release, so you can start manufacturing the initial phase of a project while continuing to engineer subsequent stages.
Start production faster and improve your lead times with CAD2BOM. Access design revisions in real-time from the shop floor to anticipate raw material needs and detect delayed parts that need to be purchased quickly. Easily engineer products from scratch or use historical data and specs to design custom products faster and anticipate resource requirements with greater accuracy.
With one click, turn engineering models into a bill of materials (BOM) that’s ready for procurement and production. CAD2BOM integrates designs directly into Genius ERP and lets you generate a list of long-lead or preliminary items early — so you can start purchasing while finalizing the BOM. Everything is automatically merged and kept up to date, helping you move faster and reduce delays.
With seamless synchronization between your CAD system and our engineering ERP software, you’ll avoid time-consuming double entry and eliminate costly errors and discrepancies with our comparative display feature. Create and fine-tune accurate quotes and estimates at the product design phase, guaranteeing profitability for your business. Use accurate real-time data to make targeted decisions based on your business needs.
Stop repeating time-consuming tasks such as entering operations, raw materials and other costing and manufacturing information part-by-part and assembly-by-assembly to give your engineers time to focus on what they do best — engineering products. Import CAD models with one click of a button into Genius ERP to create error-free BOMs ready for production. Quickly edit, fine-tune or add new information manually to complete the bill of manufacturing.
Whether you are an engineer, production manager, accountant or CEO, Genius ERP has the solutions you need to get the job done right.
Save time with Genius’s engineering ERP software — CAD2BOM converts CAD models into fully itemized BOMs in a single click. Improve engineering efficiency by implementing fully integrated track-trace reporting, including workflows, workload, assignment, and time tracking. Use concurrent engineering to decrease product development time.
Our engineering ERP software saves you from repeating tasks, such as manually entering operations, raw materials, and other costing and manufacturing information part-by-part or assembly-by-assembly. You’ll also get a clear, easy-to-use interface to review BOMs and manufacturing steps — and make direct updates to CAD properties as needed.
Use CAD2BOM to deliver a fully itemized Bill of Manufacturing with routing steps and work instructions, ready for procurement and production. Share project progress of designs, drawings and estimates for approval. Quickly make and track revisions, monitor milestones and incorporate feedback. Use real-time data to create targeted decisions based on your business needs.
CAD2BOM also allows for true concurrent engineering, which decreases product development time and time to market, leading to improved productivity and reduced costs. It’s all part of our complete engineering ERP software suite, designed to support concurrent engineering and get your products to market faster.
Whether you’re looking for your first ERP, or you need a replacement solution, manufacturers just like you have realized the benefits of implementing Genius ERP.
CAD2BOM is an exclusive feature within Genius ERP, designed to seamlessly transform a CAD model into a Bill of Materials. This integration enhances coordination between engineering and manufacturing processes and accelerates the estimation and quoting stages, while making improvements to progressive release manufacturing.
A Bill of Materials (BOM) serves as the blueprint for a manufacturing project. It contains a comprehensive inventory of all components necessary for producing a specific item, including parts, assemblies, materials, and relevant instructions and routing steps vital for the production process.
Engineer-to-Order (ETO) manufacturing creates products tailored precisely to individual customer specifications. In ETO manufacturing, engineers are tasked with designing a unique or partially unique product from beginning to completion. The ETO manufacturing process begins with a customer’s order, and ETO projects are synonymous with bespoke manufacturing, demanding more significant engineering inputs compared to Make-to-Order or Configure-to-Order projects.
Integrating your engineering process into your ERP with purpose-built engineering ERP software is critical to improving efficiency and collaboration. By linking engineering processes with ERP, organizations ensure a synchronized flow of information from design to production to delivery. This connection streamlines product development, allowing for real-time collaboration among teams, accurate resource allocation, and precise cost estimation. Moreover, it facilitates better inventory management, reducing excess stock and minimizing wastage. With engineering integrated into ERP, decision-makers gain insights into product lifecycles, enabling strategic planning and agile responses to market demands. Ultimately, this synergy optimizes resource utilization, fosters innovation, and boosts overall productivity, driving sustainable growth.
ERP systems enable concurrent engineering by allowing manufacturers to begin production in the early stages of a project while subsequent phases are still being engineered. With features like progressive BOM release, the ERP system allows manufacturers to produce long-lead items before the entire BOM is finalized. This helps reduce product development time and accelerates the transition from design to production.
Integrating the CAD software and ERP system ensures that engineers and production managers work together seamlessly. As updates are made to the CAD design, they are reflected in the BOM and across the entire production floor in real time. By supporting concurrent engineering, an engineering ERP software system like Genius ERP allows manufacturers to handle complex, multi-phase projects more efficiently, cutting down on time to market and improving overall productivity.
