Solutions written in .NET give a wide variety of customization. Linking
AutoCAD to SQL database, Sharepoint, Microsoft Office and a wide variety of
other applications develops a strong standardized work flow. It also
reduces inaccurate and redundant data entry.
Custom Applications
Every
business as unique as they are come across endeavors where “off the Shelf,”
applications don’t solve their solutions.
That’s were StreamLine really steps in and solves the problems. We have the capability to develop custom
software that is tailored to the needs of the client. If it’s an application that needs to
utilize multiplatform in order to retrieve the information and show in a form
that is analyzed in a way that is easy for the customer we can do it. It may be a custom written from scratch or
a utilization of a combination of “off the shelf,” software and custom
solutions. SteamLine could be your one
stop show for all the business needs you may have from sales thru production
followed by billing.
Database Connectivity
Connecting to a database could be one of the most important things in retaining
the proper information. The information
is entered one time only then retrieved when needed and updated when needed. AutoCAD DWG files are a database in
themselves. Having office administration
personel being able to extract information from Engineers and drafters is a
great way to get accurate information for proposals, quotes and job runs. We can utilize several options for
databases such as SQL, Access, and MySQL.
SharePoint Connectivity
SharePoint has become a very viable affordable solution for many offices and
corporations for document storage and management.
It is a very robust and adaptable application. Utilizing its capabilities with AutoCAD
the drafter can start populating the SharePoint sites just by doing everyday
work letting the software do all the leg work.
Utilizing the customization of AutoCAD a drafter can upload document
information extracted directly through the DWG file. The user can also utilize the AutoCAD
interface to upload and retrieve files directly from the SharePoint server.
Microsoft Office Customization
Office has become a hub of communication between office personnel and
business to business. Utilizing resources in the current economic environment
can make or break a business. The ability to customize your already purchased
software to suit your automated needs gives your business the ability to further
develop what’s important to your business.
There are also capabilities with linking your current office software to an
Autodesk application. The ability to create 3d models from an Excel sheet with
OUT the need for a trained drafter gives your customer the ability to see what
they are buying before investing in the labor needed to draft such prints.
Linking and automating any office application to your needs gives your employees
the freedom to worry about their duties and not about the information flow.
AutoCAD Customization
There is much more to AutoCAD than just creating drawings for production use.
In the background there is a wealth of information. We can design software to
suite your needs to keep redundancy to a minimum. Reducing something for
instance from 30 key strokes to 4. Think of lead time this would reduce. When
it comes to business its about staying ahead of your competition. With custom
software you can eliminate overhead and reduce lead times to once though an
impossible time frame. Also gathering accurate information such as quantity of
materials used. Using web services to detrimine if a purchased product is 8
weeks out delaying your timeframe, thus at design time being able to substitute
another product.
