Real-time, direct, two-way link between your CAD and Cosmo allows your engineers to compare, create, and update Cosmo Consult ERP Item Master and BOM records right from the comfort of the CAD system of your choice. An intuitive interface displays indented multi-level BOM and thumbnail preview image of the CAD part so you know what you are looking at. Integrations for all the leading mechanical and electrical CAD, as well as woodworking and structural CAD packages are available to you.

Direct ERP Integration

Set default value or assign critical ERP fields such as UOM, Part Class, Part Group, etc. CADLink lets you access Cosmo Consult ERP data to see ERP drop-down fields and search database to insert raw materials and non CAD modeled items to your BOM record.

Live Data Comparison

Take control of your changes. The live comparison feature lets you visually review BOM changes before committing to save. The changes and discrepancies between the two systems are colour coded to let you know what will be affected in both systems!
