Cudio Partners With QBuild to Connect CAD Designs With Odoo Manufacturing

The partnership combines QBuild’s CADLink integration with Odoo implementation expertise.

BOSTON, MA, November 6, 2026 -- Cudio, an Odoo implementation and ERP consulting company, today announced its partnership with QBuild Software, a leader in Engineering-to-ERP integration, to help manufacturers seamlessly connect engineering design data with Odoo through QBuild’s CADLink solution.

The partnership combines QBuild’s Engineering-to-ERP integration technology with Cudio’s Odoo expertise to help businesses carry product information from engineering into procurement and production systems.

Manufacturers often maintain CAD designs and ERP records separately. When a design changes, teams frequently re-enter part descriptions, quantities, materials, and bills of materials (BOMs) into their ERP system. That manual work creates opportunities for costly discrepancies between what engineers design and what purchasing and production teams use.

CADLink provides a direct, bi-directional connection between major CAD, PDM and PLM systems and Odoo, without exporting and importing data files. Engineers can launch CADLink directly within their CAD environment to create, update, and bi-directionally sync Odoo item and bill-of-material records from engineering data.

Before saving, users can compare CAD data side-by-side with existing Odoo records and review proposed changes. Color-coded fields identify new parts, description or quantity discrepancies, and items to remove from a bill of materials. CADLink also checks for critical errors and notifies users before saving, helping teams resolve differences at the point of transfer.

The integration supports multi-level bills of materials and lets users search Odoo’s item database to add raw materials and non-modeled items directly to the BOM. Engineers can also assign Odoo fields, including product codes, units of measure, and part types, and create or assign operations and routings on a BOM.

Through the partnership, QBuild provides the CADLink integration software, while Cudio brings Odoo implementation and consulting expertise to help manufacturers incorporate the connection into their business workflows. The focus is on making engineering information usable across Odoo’s wider operational environment.

“Engineering changes need to carry through to the people buying materials and building the product,” said Gordon Cummins, CEO of Cudio. “Our partnership with QBuild helps manufacturers connect that work in Odoo, giving teams a way to review changes before updating product records and reducing the need to enter the same information twice.”

“Engineering data is the backbone of manufacturing, and downstream operations depend on that information being both fast and precise,” added Hasara Sandul, Partner Manager at QBuild Software. “Partnering with Cudio allows manufacturers to push verified CAD data to the shop floor within seconds of release, giving purchasing and production teams total confidence in their numbers and design.”

The collaboration is particularly valuable for manufacturers managing complex assemblies or frequent design changes. By reducing repeated data entry and making discrepancies visible before updates are saved, CADLink helps engineering, purchasing, and production teams operate from a single source of truth.
