Connect CloudSuite and SolidWorks

Connecting CloudSuite and SolidWorks for a company could enable the transfer of product design data from engineering teams into business management processes. This connection could support more accurate production planning, inventory management, and procurement by making engineering changes available to other departments, helping to reduce manual data entry and improve coordination across functions.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between CloudSuite and SolidWorks around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect CloudSuite and SolidWorks?

A company operating both CloudSuite and SolidWorks could benefit from connecting these systems to facilitate more accurate and timely data exchange. Without a connection, users may need to enter the same information into both platforms, increasing the risk of errors and consuming valuable time. When data is updated in one system but not the other, records could diverge, leading to inconsistencies that affect reporting and operational decisions. For example, design changes in SolidWorks might not be reflected in CloudSuite, which could result in production or procurement based on outdated specifications. Common types of data that could be exchanged between a business management suite and a CAD system include product structures, bill of materials, item master data, and engineering change information. The specifics of what can be exchanged depend on the APIs and data models each system provides, and must be determined for each case.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what CloudSuite and SolidWorks make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
