PLM and ERP, finally in sync. Trigger-driven integration between Pro.File PLM and Epicor Kinetic ERP — parts, multi-level BOMs, document links, and quotes, transferred automatically and fully audited.
A guided walkthrough of Cre8 Hub Integration Services — what it does, how your people use it, and the results it delivers.

DefinitionCre8 Hub Integration Services is a trigger-driven integration engine that keeps Pro.File PLM and Epicor Kinetic ERP in sync. Parts, revisions, multi-level BOMs, document links, and quotes move automatically the moment engineering releases them — and every transfer is audited.
Engineering lives in PLM; manufacturing, purchasing, and sales live in ERP. Keeping the two aligned usually means re-keying part numbers, rebuilding BOMs by hand, and nursing fragile legacy middleware — and when the systems disagree about what's current, the shop floor pays for it.
Cre8 Hub fixes the handoff. A configured PLM status change triggers the transfer in the background: parts and revisions upsert through Kinetic's Engineering Workbench, complete multi-level BOMs follow line by line, PLM quote documents become Kinetic quotes, and ERP records receive DocumentViewer links instead of copied files. Every outcome is visible live and written to the object's change log in PRO.FILE.
One release in PLM — and ERP is up to date, with proof.
Part numbers, revisions, and BOMs are never re-typed into ERP. Release once, and the data flows.
PLM and ERP agree on what's current, so purchasing and production always work from the released revision.
Transfers fire automatically on a status change and run in the background — no batch window, no waiting.
Every transfer appears live on the Activity screen and in the object's change log, with ERP IDs.
Failures move the document to a failure status with the reason logged — fix it, reset, and it re-transfers. Retries are always safe.
A modern, configurable engine replaces BizTalk and ServiceConnect stacks that nobody wants to touch.
Real situations where Cre8 Hub pays for itself.
On release, parts, revisions, and the full multi-level BOM land in Epicor Kinetic automatically.
Result: Production builds from released data
A PLM quote document becomes a Kinetic quote — header plus a line for every linked part.
Result: Quotes in ERP without re-keying
ERP parts and quotes receive DocumentViewer URL attachments that always open the current document.
Result: Drawings at hand in Kinetic, never stale
When a change releases, revised parts and BOMs upsert in ERP through the Engineering Workbench.
Result: ERP updated the moment change is approved
Replace aging BizTalk and ServiceConnect integrations with a configurable, audited engine.
Result: Lower risk, lower maintenance
ERP events flow back to PLM, so engineering sees what happened downstream.
Result: Both systems stay informed
Cre8 Hub replaces manual handoffs and brittle middleware with automatic, audited, re-runnable transfers.
Built for Pro.File in general and molded to your environment through designed configuration parameters — no bespoke code, and nothing your team has to babysit.
The capabilities that make it work.
Transfers fire automatically on a configured PLM status change, run in the background, and never block or delay the user's work.
Upsert parts and revisions through Kinetic's Engineering Workbench, transfer complete multi-level BOMs line by line, and build Kinetic quotes from PLM quote documents — header plus a line per linked part.
Every transfer appears live on the Activity screen and writes its outcome — success or failure, with ERP IDs and document-link changes — to the object's change log in PRO.FILE.
Document-initiated transfers automatically move the document to a success or failure status, with the failure reason written to its change log — fix, reset the status, and it re-transfers.
ERP parts and quotes receive DocumentViewer URL attachments instead of duplicated files — documents stay mastered in PLM and always render current.
A modern, configurable engine that retires BizTalk + ServiceConnect integrations — idempotent and re-runnable, so a retry is always safe.
