ERP Software for Device and Apparatus Manufacturing: COSMO ERP Device Manufacturing
From customer order to finished product: connect sales, engineering, production, and service in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
ERP Software for Device Manufacturing: Every Process, One System.
Sales creates a quote, but engineering receives the details too late. Production works from a bill of materials that is already outdated. Controlling double-checks data in Excel. In device and apparatus manufacturing, these disconnects create delays, follow-up questions, and errors.
For device and apparatus manufacturers, COSMO ERP Device Manufacturing connects these functions on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The ERP software brings core processes into one system—from the first customer interaction through engineering, costing, production planning, and manufacturing to repairs and spare parts sales.
Instead of rebuilding every requirement from scratch, use proven best-practice processes for device and apparatus manufacturing. Start with a clear scope, reduce coordination effort, and create a reliable data foundation for every department involved.
ERP Software for Device Manufacturing Across Make-to-Stock, Make-to-Order, and Engineer-to-Order
Device and apparatus manufacturers rarely follow a simple standard process. Some products are made to stock, others in variants, and others entirely to customer specifications. COSMO ERP Device Manufacturing is built for this complexity.
The ERP software supports complex, multilevel product structures, order-specific bills of materials, and different manufacturing strategies. Sales, engineering, production, and service BOMs no longer exist as disconnected data sets—they work together.
Changes become visible wherever teams need them: engineering, production, procurement, service, and controlling. You can manage both prototypes and series production without creating separate shadow processes. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provides the foundation.
How COSMO ERP Device Manufacturing Solves Your Challenges
Deploy Best-Practice ERP Software for Device and Apparatus Manufacturing in 4–6 Months
Many ERP projects begin with long requirement lists, extensive custom requests, and uncertain effort. For midsize companies, complexity can escalate quickly. COSMO ERP Device Manufacturing takes a different approach: proven industry processes come ready to use instead of being rebuilt for every project.
This is ideal for companies that want to modernize operations without getting lost in custom development. Start with a clearly defined feature set and proven best practices.
The result is a well-structured ERP project with a more predictable scope and less technical debt. Because the ERP software runs natively on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and uses standard interfaces, you protect your investment for the long term—without fragile custom development.
Features
Integrated preliminary, engineering, and final costing
Costing templates standardize the process from quoting through final costing. Compare planned values, engineering data, and actual costs directly in the ERP system.
Change management with ECN and ECO
Capture, review, and implement engineering change notices and orders in the ERP software. Keep affected items, BOMs, and production orders fully traceable.
Order-specific, multilevel BOM management
Manage sales, engineering, production, and service BOMs in one connected system. Maintain visibility across complex, multilevel product structures.
Visual production scheduling with drag and drop
See capacity, resources, and order progress directly in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Spot bottlenecks quickly and adjust plans with ease.
Structured sales intake with checklists
Capture customer requirements digitally early in the sales process. Engineering, production, and service can access the same information downstream.
Integrated Repair and Replacement Parts Processes
Repairs are managed in the ERP system from the initial cost estimate through to completion. Replacement parts and replacement part kits can be assigned to products and customer histories. Service bills of materials are updated, and the history remains traceable.
Component traceability
Track serial and lot numbers across multiple levels. Meet documentation requirements more easily and maintain full visibility.
CAD integration through CADLink (optional)
Connect CAD, PDM, and PLM systems to the ERP system through the CADLink partner solution. Transfer engineering data, BOMs, and item information without manual entry.
DATEV integration for seamless financial accounting (optional)
Connect the ERP software to DATEV through a standard interface to simplify collaboration with accounting teams and tax advisors.

CAD Integration for Device Manufacturing ERP: Keep BOMs and Engineering Data in Sync
In device and apparatus manufacturing, critical product information often originates in engineering. Manually transferring that data to the ERP system creates errors: incorrect items, outdated BOMs, missing drawings, and unclear versions.
Optional CAD integration through CADLink creates a tighter connection between engineering and ERP. BOMs, item master data, and drawing links transfer from the CAD environment to COSMO ERP Device Manufacturing and update when changes occur.
Engineering teams continue working in their familiar environment while procurement, production, and service access current data in the ERP system. This reduces duplicate maintenance, prevents version conflicts, and moves technical changes into downstream processes faster.
ERP for Device and Apparatus Manufacturing—Fully Integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
COSMO ERP Device Manufacturing extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with industry-specific processes for device and apparatus manufacturing. Sales, engineering, production, controlling, and service all work from one shared data foundation.
Quote costing, BOMs, changes, production orders, repairs, and spare parts are not managed in separate systems—they connect directly in the ERP system. This reduces coordination effort across departments.
Your IT team benefits, too: the ERP software fits into the Microsoft ecosystem and uses standardized integration options. Avoid unnecessary custom approaches and create a platform that scales with your requirements.
COSMO CONSULT—Your ERP Partner for Device and Apparatus Manufacturing
An ERP system for device and apparatus manufacturing must do more than manage standard processes. BOMs, costing, changes, production, and service are tightly connected. You need a partner who understands both the technology and your industry-specific workflows.
COSMO CONSULT supports you from the initial analysis through go-live. Together, we assess your processes, define the right standard scope, and implement the ERP software in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with a structured approach.
After go-live, we support your team with training, support, and continuous improvement. The result is not an isolated software implementation, but an ERP platform that supports your operations for the long term.
