interiorcad 2010 - Interfacing with ERP software

interiorcad always provided a huge amount of cutting list export formats to various other software. However, it was not exactly straightforward to get data from an ERP system (like boards, veneers, edge bandings, finishings or prices of functional hardware) into interiorcad.

interiorcad 2010 provides a standardized interface. It's just up to five files in a dedicated format. Any ERP software which writes the files as specified in our docs (which are available on request free of charge) can export data to interiorcad. From within interiorcad, it's easy to import such data via the »Import Materials« command. Preconfigured favorites make it easy to use:

Besides this manual import, we have introduced an auto import feature. If an ERP software places the abovementioned files in a dedicated folder (of course the path is configurable), interiorcad will automatically import the data without any user interaction.
