Bikron builds SOLIDWORKS, Excel and ERP automation that turns hours of exporting, re-typing and checking into one click, with a fixed price and a delivery date in writing.
None of this shows up on an invoice, but every manufacturer pays for it.
Your best designer spends Friday afternoon exporting DXFs one by one and retyping BOM lines into the ERP.
A wrong gauge, an old revision or a missing part number reaches the laser, the order or the truck.
“Only Mike knows how the spreadsheet works.” When Mike is away, the process stops.
Four working examples of what we build, running on sample data right in your browser. Your version is configured to your files, rules and systems.
Exports every sheet-metal part in an assembly to laser-ready flat patterns, sorted into folders by material and thickness.
Checks the BOM before it ever reaches your ERP, flags problems for a person to fix, then writes a clean import file.
| # | Part No. | Description | Qty | Check |
|---|
Type an order and the packing label builds itself. Real versions pull orders from your ERP or spreadsheet and print to your label printer.
A VBA macro that turns messy exported data into a clean, consistent sheet ready for import, in one click.
| A · Part | B · Material | C · Thk | D · Qty |

“I build the tools I wished I had: the ones that give engineers their Friday afternoons back.”
Bikron is engineer-led. Every tool comes from daily work in heavy-equipment manufacturing: real assemblies, real sheet metal, real ERP data.
You deal directly with the person who builds your automation. No account managers, no hand-offs, no lost details.
No. We build and test on sample files you choose to share, under an NDA if you prefer. The finished tools run on your own computers, so your data stays with you.
SOLIDWORKS 2020 and newer. For ERP we produce validated import files (CSV or Excel) that work with most systems. We confirm compatibility with yours during the free audit.
No. Tools prepare and validate the data and flag problems. A person on your team approves before anything is imported.
You get 10% off the setup fee. The date is written into your proposal.
Yes. All work is delivered remotely, with calls scheduled in your time zone. Pricing is available in CAD or USD.
Then the audit says so, and you keep the one-page report either way, free.
