Automated and flexible processes.

Although Special Purpose Machinery Manufacture is part of mechanical engineering, it differs greatly from it in some key work processes:

1. The proportion of engineering in Special Purpose Machinery Manufacture is much higher than in traditional mechanical engineering.
2. The most important instrument in project management is the project or order BOM, in which all project-related assemblies and components are managed.
3. In contrast to traditional mechanical engineering, the focus is also on ordersBOM in the area of purchasing/procurement.

Many special machine manufacturers work without an ERP system because most ERP solutions do not fit their needs and requirements. This results in these three difficulties, which disrupt the process flow or unnecessarily extend project lead times:

1. No consistent database, as different lists are used in parallel. This leads to double entries, misunderstandings and errors.
2. Data quality is poor as it is only controlled and checked by people. A lack of information flow, "paperwork management" and sporadic data collection lead to a constant deterioration of the database.
3. Project management is time-consuming because the individual lists usually have to be compiled manually in order to run evaluations and manage planning.

erp4cad works differently:

1. With the project overview list, the technical and commercial experts work in a joint BOM.
2. Automated processes ensure the quality of your project data.
3. Up-to-date evaluations enable more efficient project management.

With erp4cad, we create an interface between the technical and commercial worlds. The processes between these two areas are automated and yet remain flexible. Your team is relieved, sources of error are reduced and planning reliability is increased.

The aim of erp4cad is to manage your project business economically and with competitive project lead times.
