Engineering-to-ERP integration starts at the design stage. When CAD systems are disconnected from ERP, engineers are forced to manually recreate Bills of Materials (BOMs), introducing delays and errors before production even begins.
CAD-to-ERP integration solves this by connecting design data directly to Visibility ERP. QBuild Software’s CADLink enables engineers to push accurate, structured data from CAD into ERP instantly, forming the first link in a complete digital thread.
Manual BOM entry is one of the most common—and costly—breakpoints in manufacturing workflows.
Without CADLink:
Engineers duplicate work in spreadsheets
BOM errors propagate into production
Time is lost between design and execution
CADLink eliminates this gap by ensuring that engineering data flows directly from CAD to Visibility ERP without re-entry.
Push BOMs from CAD to Visibility ERP in one click
Automatically create and update item masters
Preserve complete assembly hierarchies
Validate data before release with comparison tools
Ensure accurate synchronization between engineering and manufacturing
This partnership is uniquely effective because QBuild’s tools are designed by engineers, for engineers, and implemented by engineers. By combining Visibility’s robust ERP capabilities with QBuild’s firsthand understanding of engineering workflows, the collaboration ensures that manufacturers get a reliable, technically accurate integration that streamlines the entire transition from the design workstation to the shop floor.

CADLink is one piece of a larger connected system. Visibility ERP is built to receive this engineering data and put it to work immediately — item masters, work orders, and procurement all draw from the same accurate, real-time record the moment CAD data lands. For manufacturers managing complex assemblies, that means engineering and production are never working from two different versions of the truth.
