Benefits of ERP and CAD in a Unified System
If you develop, design and sell your own products, you are likely familiar with Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). We merge PDM technology with PLM strategy into a single software solution, encompassing your entire value chain: proALPHA PDM/PLM.
CAD, or computer-aided design, is indispensable in product development. With our solution, all design data flows seamlessly from the CAD system into the ERP system. Authorized departments and staff can access BOMs, 3D models, and other business data via the viewer, promoting efficient workflows and avoiding repeated queries. Best of all, no additional interfaces or systems for PDM or PLM are needed.
Efficient Design
Component design is the foundation of many business processes, involving both technical parameters and financial factors like pricing and lead times. But how can the ERP system and the CAD database be unified?
With our PDM/PLM solution, your designers can access ERP data directly within the familiar CAD environment, including information on materials, components, and quantities.This gives them real-time insights into inventory status, necessary orders, and possible replacements, eliminating back-and-forth with inventory or purchasing and saving valuable design time.
Do you want to integrate your design with business processes and make room for more creativity? This becomes possible with our CAD integration.
Which Departments Benefit from PDM/PLM within the ERP System?
Thanks to automatic CAD data transfer into our ERP solution, your team no longer needs to ensure database integrity manually. Instead, you have a centralized information source for all areas – manual adjustments are a thing of the past. Say goodbye to redundant data storage and maintenance-intensive interfaces; proALPHA PDM/PLM streamlines processes across all departments.
Using the integrated viewer, purchasing, sales, assembly, and service teams can directly access 3D and 2D CAD models, technical drawings, and BOMs from the design process. proALPHA Workflow Management ensures employees are notified automatically about any data changes or updates. With these comprehensive features, the ERP system fully adopts the role of PDM/PLM, streamlining your company’s processes, reducing lead times, and preventing errors – with no added workload for your team.
