Meet John and his BOM challenge

Digitizing the BOM transfer process is a worthwhile time & effort investment that can help you connect Autodesk Vault to your specific ERP system with perfect efficiency.

Entering manually a BOM into the ERP can be extremely tedious, time-consuming, manually and also rather prone to error: the damage caused by an incomplete or incorrect BOM can become significant and cause problems as well as additional costs.

However, the good news is the solution is already there: professional CAD/Vault to ERP integration can reduce the time it takes to create and update the BOM by 90% and increase the accuracy of the BOM by 100%.

Watch how John finds the right "solution" to his problems and gains his quality time back!

With plenty of areas and locations involved and a thriving business, Primetal required a technology platform allowing quick, reliable and customizable process automation as well as a solution capable of growing over time. The company also felt the need to find a partner to support this growth all along the way.

After implementing a step-by-step Vault-SAP integration, we automated the PDF creation process and transfer to SAP with DIR creation and maintenance, including metadata.

These solutions helped Primetal improve their design productivity by 15-20% and their data quality by 30%.

The company was willing to replace their old file-based SAP connection with a modern, extensible and direct integration. The new interface would need to:

support designers in transferring the master data;
map several organizational levels;
define leading systems for each field separately;
allow the transfer of released drawings into SAP (including revision mapping);
reduce efforts to a minimum.

By switching from a file-based connection to direct integration, we helped EMPL revise and improve their processes. Automation also allowed the company to save time in various areas of their activity.
