The coupling of PDM and ERP systems is sometimes discussed as time-consuming and costly.

Therefore, we at GAIN Software have developed the JoinServer in addition to this PDM interface and integrated it as a standard module in GAIN Collaboration. The JoinServer makes the synchronization of metadata between ERP systems and GAIN Collaboration much easier:

  • You can easily configure the JoinServer to import and export metadata according to your needs.
  • The JoinServer then performs the import and export independently for defined processes, such as the release of documents.

Bidirectional exchange between PDM and ERP

The JoinServer exports metadata of articles and parts lists from the GAIN Collaboration database. Vice versa, for example, an import or comparison of article metadata from the ERP system to the PDM system GAIN Collaboration can take place. Exchange formats: CSV or XML.

Sample process:
Fast demand notification

You decide which order is executed at which status change. Here, quite tight interlocking can be realized via appropriate event handling:

For example, you can trigger a purchase order in the PDM system by releasing (status) a certain document (CAD formats or others) that contains article information. For this purpose, the JoinServer first exports the corresponding metadata to a target or transfer directory. The ERP system then processes this data automatically. As an alternative to operating as a service in the background, you can also trigger jobs manually.
