HISTORY

INNOVATION

CADTALK was inspired by thousands of CAD drawings that had to be manually entered into ERP systems every time a new part was designed or an existing part was modified. Our founders knew there had to be a better way to keep bills of material and item in sync between CAD and ERP. But with so many variables across dozens of CAD systems and potentially hundreds of ERP applications – it was no easy task for sure. Perhaps that’s why CADTALK is the only engineering application in the world that leverages artificial intelligence to transform bill of material (and other) data from CAD into a format compatible with popular ERP systems reducing engineering to manufacturing hand-off by 80% with considerable cost savings and a very fast return on investment.

We first conceived CADTALK in 1998 and launched the first version in 2006. Today, CADTALK is the only application of its kind in the world. It is an invaluable resource for more than a thousand users across 5 continents. Our team of software engineers and former manufacturing engineers have extensive CAD, ERP, and manufacturing experience providing a unique team that truly understands the complexities of bills of material and data transformation between application platforms.

We are proud of how far we’ve come and are equally as excited about where we are headed by leveraging cutting-edge technology to drive even greater improvements throughout the engineering and design process.
