CADLink will free up your engineering staff to do more engineering and reduce your engineering costs. The less time they spend inputting data across multiple platforms, the more time they can invest on projects and designs.

Benefit from an accurate and up-to-date data version and improve your production throughput

In today’s fast paced industry, keeping your ERP engineering data accurate and synchronized with your engineering drawings and models quickly and accurately is critical in gaining competitive edge. With CADLink, you will see significant improvements in time to market, on-time shipments, and accuracy of ERP engineering data with reductions in engineering cost, scrapped parts, and shop floor confusions.

Direct CAD Integration

Your engineers live and breathe inside their CAD system and they love it! So let’s keep it that way and let CADLink connect your CAD system to Cosmo Consult ERP.

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 Inventory UOM, Part Class, Part Group, etc. CADLink lets you access Cosmo Consult ERP data to see ERP drop-down fields and search Item Master to insert raw materials and non CAD modeled items to your BOM.

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!
