The WorkWise ERP Engineering Workbench allows engineers to design their workspace to easily maintain critical item, bill, routing and configuration data.
Bi-directional integration with Solidworks CAD enables the Engineering Workbench to streamline the process of updating product information stored in the CAD database. The Engineering Workbench “sandbox” feature allows you to use simulations of your data so that decisions can be considered before live updates are made to the database. Individuals are automatically alerted to any changes to this data so that they can take action on the critical next steps to releasing a new engineering change.
The Engineering Workbench by WorkWise is built as a standard WorkWise ERP Application. This means that, other than CAD, there are no expensive third party products that need to be purchased in order for engineers to productively use your ERP application.
The Engineering Workbench streamlines the maintenance of item, bill and routing data with a simple, easy to use Workbench. Visualize the complete item, bill and routing to ensure your ERP data is complete and accurate.
Make changes and check them before you update the live system. This feature increases the probability that engineers will release engineering data that is free of errors and ready to be used by the appropriate departments for building your products in a cost effective and timely manner.
The powerful WorkWise ERP Product Configurator is easily accessible and maintained within the Engineering Workbench. Also, the addition of enhanced text and images tied to your configuration rules will let your quotations stand out and can be provided to your customer with as much detail as is required.
Two-way data integration between the Engineering Workbench and Solidworks CAD moves engineering data seamlessly between these technologies. Easily import item engineering data, bills of material and your engineering drawings from Solidworks into WorkWise ERP software. In one screen you can compare the engineering source data with the current status of the ERP data, making the engineer more productive and as a result speeding up the time for development of new products.
Engineering data is often stored in a variety of “islands of information” requiring engineers to move inefficiently between different environments. The Engineering Workbench Excel integration brings all of these databases into “one source of the truth”. Pulling your data into Excel and the ERP Engineering Workbench offers simple integration to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.
Role-Based ERP Workbenches by WorkWise are an innovation that allows the user to assemble all the modules and applications necessary to fit a particular role or task into a single view. Everything is available in one view, sharing the items of interest with multiple functions.
Export any portion of the Workbench to Excel, including multiple pages.

All aspects of our company are now running through our ERP software. Having everyone work out of the same system and not have multiple programs that you have to jump back and forth through, has allowed us to get more done in less time.

One of the main benefits we’ve experienced using WorkWise ERP is being able to get meaningful information we can use, versus getting data that requires more work to get the answers you’re looking for. The data is integrated and streamlined for efficient use which keeps our fixed costs lower and allows us to invest our capital into building better products.

It doesn’t take all day to do our schedule anymore. Also, the Performance Management WorkBench lets us see what information we want to see, and what time we want to see it, in a nice visual way. Item Planning is also great. It’s so easy to look up specific information related to whatever we need to see.

What’s really nice is having everything in one package. My financials are in the same package as manufacturing and customer orders. Everything integrates seamlessly. Bringing in inventory management has been a huge benefit for us. Being able to jump between workbenches and different points of data has been really nice.

WorkWise spent a lot of time with us in order to understand our manufacturing process. We’re fairly unique, and there’s not that many companies in the world that do what we do. WorkWise really made us feel like they understood what we were doing and where we were going.
