Your Design is Approved. Your Shop Floor Should Know in Seconds.
Right now, how long does it take from a finalized Cabinet Vision or TopSolid design to a cut-list on the saw operator's screen? If the answer involves re-keying dimensions, copying BOM lines into a spreadsheet, or emailing a PDF - you're losing hours per job and introducing errors that cost you far more downstream. Seradex ERP connects directly to your design software, turning approved drawings into production-ready jobs automatically.
Why CAD–ERP Integration Is Critical?
When design and production live in separate systems, every manual handoff adds delay and risk. Dimensions get re-keyed wrong, BOM lines drift from the approved drawing, and schedule updates stall in the inbox - all of that shows up as scrap, overtime, and damaged trust with builders. Seradex keeps design data authoritative: what is approved in Cabinet Vision, TopSolid, or Microvellum becomes the same BOM, cut-list, and job the floor executes, without transcription.
What Happens When Your CAD and ERP Actually Talk
Automated Job Creation from CAD
When a design is approved in Cabinet Vision, TopSolid, or Microvellum, Seradex pulls the BOM, cut-list, material quantities, and hardware schedule automatically. No transcription. No re-entry. No gaps between what was designed and what gets built.
Real-Time Quoting from Design Data
Generate accurate quotes in minutes, not hours. Seradex pulls your current material costs, labour rates, and overhead directly from the approved design - so your price reflects actual production reality, not a best guess.
Material & Component Linking
CAD components map to your live inventory. When a design calls for ¾" maple veneer plywood at a specific sheet yield, Seradex checks stock, flags shortfalls, and triggers purchase orders - all before the job hits the floor.
Design Change Management
When a builder client changes door styles or adds an island mid-project, the update flows from your design software into Seradex automatically: revised cut-list, updated BOM, adjusted schedule, and amended POs - cascading through every downstream process without a single manual step.
Design-to-Production Analytics
Track job accuracy from design to delivery. Measure quote-to-actual cost variance, material yield against design intent, and rework caused by design errors - then use that data to sharpen your quoting and improve future jobs.
The Workflow: Design to Delivery Without the Gaps
Step 1 - Design Approval: Your designer finalizes the project in Cabinet Vision. Dimensions, door styles, hardware, and material specs are locked.
Step 2 - Automatic BOM & Cut-List Generation: Seradex pulls every component from the approved design: sheet goods by species and thickness, hardware by SKU, labour by operation — structured into a production-ready BOM and nested cut-list.
Step 3 - Inventory Check & PO Generation: Live inventory is checked against the BOM. Short items trigger purchase orders automatically, with lead times factored into the production schedule.
Step 4 - Job Released to the Floor: Work orders, cut-lists, and assembly instructions appear at the right work centre at the right time — no paper packets, no bottlenecks at the front office.
Step 5 - Changes Cascade Automatically: When the client changes the door profile or adds upper cabinets, one update in the design file propagates through every downstream record.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions to help you better understand our solutions and processes.
Which design platforms does Seradex integrate with?
Seradex integrates with Cabinet Vision, TopSolid, and Microvellum - the three leading design platforms used by cabinet and millwork manufacturers.
Do design changes automatically update the production schedule?
Yes. When a change is made in the CAD file and pushed to Seradex, the production schedule, BOM, and any open purchase orders are updated immediately.
How quickly can we implement it?
Yes. The integration supports both make-to-order custom millwork and configurable semi-custom production, handling the BOM complexity of each.
Can it integrate with our existing ERP and CAD software?
Contact us. Our team has built custom integration bridges for shops using other platforms and can assess compatibility for your specific environment.
The Business Case for CAD-ERP Integration
What integrated design-to-production typically improves:
- Job creation time reduced - 40% faster from design approval to floor release
- Quote accuracy - 95% accuracy vs. actual production cost
- Design change delays eliminated - cascading updates in real time
- Manual data entry errors - near zero, with no re-keying
ARE YOU READY?
Close the Gap Between Design and Production.
If your shop is still re-keying design data into your ERP, you're paying for every job twice. Let Seradex close that gap permanently.
