CUSTOMTOOLS connects SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS PDM with Odoo ERP. Our integration allows you to automate the transfer of data to create and update Products and Bill of Materials (BOMs). It can also be configured to match your company's processes.
Randy ClarkFounder, RCI EngineeringLocated in Mayville, Wisconsin, RCI Engineering is an engineering and manufacturing firm specializing in custom agricultural and off-road equipment. RCI delivers comprehensive machinery solutions, managing the entire process from initial design to manufacturing.
Recently, RCI adopted CUSTOMTOOLS to streamline their product definition within SOLIDWORKS and automate the transfer of essential metadata, including attachments like DXF and PDF files, as well as preview images, directly to their Odoo ERP system.
This integration has significantly enhanced communication between RCI's engineering and production teams, resulting in a remarkable 75% reduction in setup times for introducing new products.
It's essential to recognize that no two integrations are alike, as every company operates differently with its own distinct processes. An integration should be tailored to your workflows, precisely defining where data is created, needed, and maintained.
Most of your requirements can be configured to match your processes with our out-of-the-box integration module. For more advanced integration or specific logic, CUSTOMTOOLS offers the possibility to extend integration capabilities through custom development.
CUSTOMTOOLS seamlessly integrates with the Manufacturing module of Odoo, enabling you to effortlessly create and update both Products and Bill of Materials. Additionally, you can export SOLIDWORKS drawings to various file formats such as PDF, which can be attached to corresponding products within Odoo.
CUSTOMTOOLS enhances user experience by automatically attaching a preview image of your SOLIDWORKS file to each product in Odoo, providing a visual representation.

In SOLIDWORKS, the Odoo integration officially supports all versions from SOLIDWORKS 2020 onwards. Additionally, the integration supports the previous versions of SOLIDWORKS (prior to 2020), but with limited capabilities.
Beyond ERP integration, CUSTOMTOOLS offers other time-saving utilities capable of reducing designers' manual workload and minimizing errors by up to 30%.
