Integration with CAD/CAM Software
While MYOB Advanced Business itself does not offer built-in computer-aided drafting (CAD) capabilities, it can be integrated with external CAD software to streamline the design-to-production process. This integration ensures that engineering changes and revisions are communicated effectively to the shop floor.
By leveraging MYOB Advanced Business’s comprehensive ERP system and potentially integrating it with specialized CAD solutions, sheet metal fabrication companies can achieve better visibility, control, and efficiency throughout their end-to-end fabrication process. However, it’s essential to work with experienced consultants or MYOB Advanced Business partners to tailor the system to your specific business needs and ensure a successful implementation.
