COUNTERPART was created to meet the unique needs of engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturers. We understand that engineering is the center (not just the beginning) of your custom solutions, with continual revisions to meet changing customer specifications.

BOMs are the focal point of collaboration for delivering designs, creating quotes, tracking changes, and much more.

For most ETO manufacturers, BOM data is manually entered into an ERP and then tracked in multiple disconnected systems.That’s why we built a bi-directional CAD integration for both SOLIDWORKS and Inventor to make data transfer efficient and seamless. Then we provide each downstream team visibility into any design changes.

Fully integrate your CAD and ERP software with bi-directional syncing

Fully integrate your CAD and ERP software with bi-directional syncing COUNTERPART empowers engineers to ditch static BOMs and endless Excel sheets. Our CAD integrations make BOM creation and data flow simpler than ever without added staff or hours spent transferring data to your ERP. The result is more focus on value-added engineering work that’s critical for scaling ETO manufacturing.
Benefits
  • Eliminate manual data entry between systems, saving time and eliminating human errors
  • Create dynamic BOMs that give users an interactive experience and update in real time
  • Pull design data from prior builds to expedite similar or repeat jobs
    Generate lead times and other information critical for accurate quoting

Release designs to the shop floor faster

Speed is a competitive advantage in ETO manufacturing, and any delay or bottleneck is costly. By instantly updating BOMs via our bi-directional sync, you can get designs to manufacturing faster with full confidence in the design data.
Benefits
  • Immediately transfer designs with a dynamic BOM that’s accurate and up-to-date
  • Quickly and easily reference the build status
  • Release partial BOMs

Give procurement a headstart on sequencing and priorities

Engineers shouldn’t have to chase down procurement updates or worry if long-lead items are ordered on time. You can give procurement instant visibility into released designs, ensuring they can sequence orders and prioritize critical materials or parts without constant back-and-forth.
Benefits
  • Allow procurement of long lead time items as soon as possible
  • Check procurement status with up-to-date information
  • Reduce urgent inquiries with easier collaboration and cross-team data access

Manage orders after designs are delivered

Changes, reworks, and updates are inevitable for any custom project. COUNTERPART ensures that every adjustment - whether it’s a minor part change or a full assembly update - flows seamlessly through your ERP without extra manual work.
Benefits
  • Simplified revision tracking for all teams
  • Check and monitor build progress at any time
  • Reduce or eliminate communication on updates for downstream teams
