BOM Director
Getting a bill of materials from CAD into the ERP was manual, slow and a reliable source of errors. BOM Director reads the SolidWorks BOM, produces the production documentation, then writes material rows directly into Epicor through its job-entry REST API. Both the insert and update paths are live and were verified against real jobs in the ERP's own UI. It ships as an MSI built with the WiX Toolset, with role-gated access so admin and non-admin users get different capabilities.
