Cetec ERP API
Cetec ERP is a cloud-based, all-in-one manufacturing ERP that unifies quoting, MRP, inventory and traceability, shop floor control, quality/compliance, purchasing, and accounting for electronics, machine shop, medical device, and aerospace manufacturers. Its JSON-based REST API lets you programmatically pull orders, quotes, parts, inventory, invoices, and customer records—and push new orders, quotes, BOMs, and updates back into Cetec ERP.
What is Cetec ERP?
Cetec ERP is a cloud-based, all-in-one manufacturing platform that integrates quoting, inventory management, production, quality control, and financials into a single unified system. Manufacturers use Cetec ERP to run job costing and quoting, material planning (MRP), inventory and lot/serial traceability, shop floor control (MES), quality and compliance (QMS), purchasing and supply chain, engineering BOM and change management, and accounting—serving electronics (EMS/PCBA), cable and wire harness, machine and job shops, medical device, industrial equipment, and aerospace and defense manufacturers.
Core product areas include:
- Job Costing & Quoting and Sales / Customer Service
- Material Planning (MRP) and Purchasing / Supply Chain
- Inventory, Warehouse, and Lot/Serial Traceability
- Production and Shop Floor Control (MES)
- Quality & Compliance (QMS)
- Engineering (BOM, revisions, engineering change management) and Accounting
Common data entities:
- Quotes, Orders, Order Lines, Shipments
- Parts, BOMs, Revisions, Engineering Change Orders
- Inventory, Bins, Lots/Serials, Stock Transactions
- Work Orders, Operations, Labor, Job Costs
- Purchase Orders, Vendors, Receipts
- Customers, Invoices, Payments, GL Entries
The Cetec ERP Integration Challenge
Manufacturers run mission-critical operations on Cetec ERP daily, but turning its tenant-hosted, configuration-driven workflows into reliable API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- Per-tenant subdomains: API documentation and endpoints live at your instance (https://YOURCOMPANY.cetecerp.com/apioverview), so integrations must be wired to each company's host and key
- Tiered request quotas: API access is gated by subscription tier (Free under 1,000 requests/month up through Heavy usage), so high-volume syncs need careful batching and pacing
- API-key authentication: Secure key handling, rotation, and scoping are required to keep automated access safe and auditable
- Split inbound/outbound semantics: Outbound reads use GET while inbound creates/updates use POST or PUT, and a separate importjson surface handles Quote/Order imports—each with its own payload shape
- Deep manufacturing object graph: Parts, BOMs, revisions, work orders, lots/serials, and job costs are tightly linked, so traversing relationships correctly takes domain knowledge
- Traceability and audit requirements: Lot/serial tracking and quality records for medical device and aerospace customers demand precise, consistent transaction handling
How Supergood Creates Cetec ERP APIs
Supergood wraps Cetec ERP's JSON-based REST API and authenticated surfaces to deliver a resilient, normalized API layer for your Cetec ERP instance—across quoting, orders, inventory, production, purchasing, and accounting.
- Manages API-key authentication, secure storage, and rotation against your company subdomain
- Paces requests against your subscription tier with adaptive throttling and batching
- Normalizes responses across Quotes, Orders, Parts, Inventory, Work Orders, and Invoices so you integrate once and rely on consistent objects
- Bridges the read (GET) and write (POST/PUT) surfaces, including the importjson Quote/Order import path

Frequently asked questions
Cetec ERP uses API-key authentication against your company subdomain (https://YOURCOMPANY.cetecerp.com). Supergood stores and rotates the key in an encrypted vault and manages secure session handling for all calls.
Yes. Outbound reads use GET requests, while inbound creates and updates use POST or PUT. There is also a dedicated importjson surface for importing Quotes and Orders, all of which Supergood normalizes behind one consistent API.
API access is gated by subscription tier based on monthly request volume (Free, Light, Moderate, and Heavy). Supergood paces and batches requests with adaptive throttling so you stay within your tier without dropping data.
Quotes, Orders, Parts, BOMs, Inventory and lot/serial records, Work Orders, Purchase Orders, Vendors, Customers, and Invoices are exposed through a single normalized API surface.
Yes. Inventory reads include bin, lot, and serial detail, so you can maintain end-to-end traceability for medical device, aerospace, and other regulated manufacturing workflows.
