Our data exchange between V6 and Ostendo Operations (ERP) provides a complete solution for Aluminium Window and Door manufacturers.
Seamless Data Exchange Between V6 and Ostendo Continuum ERP
We have developed a powerful, automated data exchange interface between V6 and Ostendo Continuum (ERP)—purpose-built for window and door manufacturers. This integration bridges the gap between advanced design software and full business management, delivering a complete end-to-end production and operational solution.
The window and door industry is unlike any other. With its high degree of product variability, custom designs, compliance standards, and precision manufacturing, most standard ERP systems struggle to cope on their own. That’s where the combined power of V6 + Ostendo truly shines.
From Design to Production — Automatically
V6 software is specifically designed for the design, quoting, and manufacturing of residential and commercial windows and doors. Once a quote or job is created in V6, it automatically generates a detailed file that includes:
- Customer and job information
- Window and door specifications
- Full bill of materials (extrusions, components, glass)
- Labour time by work centre
This file is then imported to create a live job inside Ostendo Continuum (ERP). No re-keying. No errors. The result is a streamlined digital flow from quoting and design straight through to production, purchasing, delivery, and invoicing.
Our interface can also be customised to meet your specific business requirements, ensuring the solution fits your operation—not the other way around.
