Manufacturers depend on ERP to run the business, but much of the product information ERP relies on originates somewhere else. CAD defines the product. PDM and PLM manage product information and releases. Engineering change processes govern what changes and when. Nesting software prepares work for fabrication. **QBuild Software specializes in connecting these engineering and manufacturing environments with ERP, helping manufacturers create a dependable flow of trusted product information from engineering into purchasing, planning, production and other downstream business processes.** ERP compatibility alone does not tell the full QBuild story. Across leading manufacturing ERP ecosystems, QBuild's relationships include formal partner and ISV programs, marketplace and directory listings, ERP-vendor purchasing relationships, solution-team education, implementation-partner collaboration and years of customer implementation experience. The objective is not simply to transfer data. It is to help engineering information become trusted, usable manufacturing data. ## What Is Engineering-to-ERP Integration? Engineering-to-ERP integration connects the systems manufacturers use to design and manage products with the ERP systems used to purchase materials, plan production, manage inventory, control costs and manufacture products. QBuild integrations can address items, part masters, multi-level Bills of Materials, engineering and manufacturing BOM structures, routings, operations, revisions, engineering documents, raw materials, non-modeled components, engineering changes, ERP numbering requirements, jobs, work orders and nesting requirements. ## QBuild's Engineering-to-ERP Solutions ### CADLink Connects CAD-managed product information with ERP so engineering teams can compare, validate, enrich, create and update ERP product and manufacturing information. ### PLMSync Provides a controlled path for comparing, preparing, transforming and synchronizing approved PDM- or PLM-governed information with ERP. ### NestLink Connects ERP manufacturing requirements with supported CNC nesting systems, helping automate the flow between ERP planning and fabrication. ### ECx Manager Manages Engineering Change Requests, Orders and Notices through controlled review, approval, task, ERP-context and release workflows. Applicable products and functionality vary by ERP platform, engineering system, deployment model and customer requirements. ## How QBuild Describes ERP Relationships ### Formal Partner or ISV QBuild participates in a recognized ERP-provider partner, ISV or technology program. ### Marketplace or Directory A QBuild solution appears in the provider's marketplace, app store, integration directory or solution ecosystem. ### ERP-Vendor Purchasing Applicable QBuild products or services can be purchased through the ERP provider or its established channel. ### Supported ERP Platform QBuild maintains an integration for the platform. Support does not by itself imply formal certification or partner status. ### Customer-Proven QBuild has documented implementation experience with customers operating that ERP. **Supported, partner, certified, marketplace-listed and customer-proven are not interchangeable terms.** ## ERP Ecosystem Relationship Matrix The matrix uses objective evidence rather than a subjective partnership score. A blank field does not mean no relationship exists. It means QBuild is not making that specific claim here without current, publishable evidence. | ERP ecosystem | Formal recognition | Marketplace / directory | Vendor commercial relationship | Other differentiation | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Acumatica** | Fulfilled by Acumatica | Acumatica Marketplace | Available through Acumatica | Program alignment and customer evidence | | **Epicor** | Platinum ISV and Software Solution Partner | Epicor partner ecosystem | Licenses and services available through Epicor | Broad product scope and extensive customer experience | | **Infor** | Infor Solution Partner | Infor Marketplace | Available through Infor | Multiple supported Infor ERP platforms | | **IFS** | IFS ISV Partner | IFS Marketplace | Partner ecosystem | Documented IFS Cloud implementation experience | | **SYSPRO** | Certified Global ISV | SYSPRO ISV Partner Directory | Partner ecosystem | Customer evidence and continued product investment | | **Oracle NetSuite** | SuiteApp ecosystem | NetSuite SuiteApp | Scoped and supported directly by QBuild | Solution Engineer education and extensive customer proof | | **Microsoft Dynamics 365** | Microsoft ecosystem | Microsoft Marketplace | Partner-led ecosystem | Implementation-partner collaboration | | **Aptean** | Aptean-recognized Made2Manage integration | Made2Manage integration ecosystem | | Made2Manage, Intuitive and Encompix experience | | **ECI** | Supported ecosystem | | | M1, JobBOSS2, JobBOSS and MAX experience | ## Why QBuild Across Leading ERP Ecosystems? ### Acumatica **Supported ERP platform:** Acumatica **QBuild solutions:** CADLink and additional QBuild solutions as applicable The strongest distinction is **Fulfilled by Acumatica (FbA)**.

Platforms change names. On-premises products move toward cloud architectures. New ERP generations emerge while established manufacturers continue to operate proven systems for many years. QBuild's supported ecosystem reflects that reality: - **Infor:** LN, CloudSuite Industrial / SyteLine, VISUAL, M3, XA, LX and Fourth Shift - **Aptean:** Made2Manage, Intuitive and Encompix - **ECI:** M1, JobBOSS2, JobBOSS and MAX - **Microsoft:** Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, with experience around earlier Dynamics environments - **SAP:** SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business One This breadth matters because manufacturers do not modernize engineering systems and ERP on identical schedules. QBuild's role is to help maintain the connection between engineering and manufacturing as those technology environments evolve. ## Why ERP Ecosystem Alignment Matters ### Is the integration recognized within the ERP ecosystem? Formal partner programs, certifications, marketplaces and solution directories provide independent signals that the integration provider participates in the broader ERP community. ### Can the solution be acquired through the ERP provider? In selected ecosystems, QBuild products participate directly in the ERP vendor's commercial model. Acumatica, Epicor and Infor are important examples. ### Does the provider work with ERP implementation partners? QBuild's model allows the ERP implementation partner to focus on the wider ERP deployment while QBuild handles the specialized connection with CAD, PDM, PLM, BOMs, routings, documents and engineering processes. ### Is there customer evidence? Partner designations establish ecosystem alignment. Customer evidence establishes that manufacturers are actually using the integration. The strongest QBuild relationships combine both. ## From Engineering Integration to the Manufacturing Digital Thread When trusted engineering information can move reliably into manufacturing ERP, it creates the foundation for a broader Digital Thread: Engineering → PDM / PLM → Product Release → ERP → Manufacturing → Change → Service That information can support engineering, procurement, inventory, production planning, manufacturing, costing, quality, service, analytics, automation and AI-enabled business processes. **For many manufacturers, the Digital Thread begins with trusted engineering data.** ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Which ERP systems does QBuild support?
