¶ MD Nexus Integration – Seamless Access to BoM & Documentation
The latest integration with the MD Nexus Configurator enhances the project workflow for low-voltage switchgear solutions by streamlining the creation and delivery of essential project assets.
Starting from the configuration phase, the tool enables users to either select from a library of predefined typical solutions or create ustomizable layouts based on specific project requirements. It then automati-cally generates an accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) and technical documentation within the configurator.
With this integration, both the BOM and documentation generated in MD Nexus are now accessible directly through Partner Hub. Users can easily download all required files in bulk, ensuring quick access to up-to-date information and simplifying the bidding and execution processes.
By reducing manual work and centralizing access to key deliverables within the Partner Hub project environ-ment, this integration supports faster project execution, improved accuracy, and smoother coordina-tion across teams.
Key Benefits:
- Reduced Operational Costs: By eliminating lengthy manual processes, the proposed solution drasti-cally reduces time spent on updates and approvals, cutting operational costs.
- Faster Project Turnaround: The ability to make real-time adjustments and streamline the design pro-cess results in faster project completion, allowing for more projects to be handled in the same timeframe.
- Improved Customer Satisfaction: The flexibility in customization and faster response times lead to better customer satisfaction, potentially increasing client retention and repeat business.
- Scalable Efficiency: As the solution is designed to handle large orders more effectively, it supports scaling up operations without a proportional increase in effort or cost.
Core features of MD Nexus Configurator:
- Directly access built-in modules to accelerate your project and create it in minutes.
- Quickly generate accurate bills of materials (BOM) and access the latest technical documents you need.
- 17+ pre-configured typical solutions to expedite the BOM process, with the possibility for more.
- Bulk download various documents for your configured solution to complete your design, withfull ac-cess to the document library.
- Standard BOM Overview – Displays the complete switchgear solution, including Enclosures, ACB kits, Busbars, and Doors.
