When you're investing in SOLIDWORKS, you’re not just buying software—you’re laying the foundation for how your engineering team works, collaborates, and grows. And the truth is, your reseller should be a strategic partner in that journey—not just a middleman who hands you a license key and calls it a day.
At Converge, we think it’s time to raise the bar. Here’s what you should be getting from your SOLIDWORKS reseller—and why we built Converge to fill the gaps left by traditional VARs.
1. More Than a License—A Launchpad
Most resellers stop at licensing. We start with launching. That means assessing your current CAD environment, identifying bottlenecks, and creating a rollout plan that’s designed for long-term success—not just initial activation.
Our Engineering Systems and Process Review (ESPR) is the first step. It’s not a sales pitch; it’s a deep dive into how your team works. From there, we recommend a tailored setup that matches your actual workflows and business goals.
2. Workflows, Not Just Workarounds
Here’s the thing: SOLIDWORKS is powerful, but it’s not plug-and-play. Without the right data structure, naming conventions, approval workflows, and permissions, even the best PDM setup can become a mess.
Where other resellers leave you to figure it out, we implement structured workflows based on what you actually do day-to-day. From revision control to release management, we make sure your PDM system works with your team—not against them.
3. Cloud That Works the Way You Do
Let’s face it—3DEXPERIENCE is not for everyone. Many SOLIDWORKS users love their tools but hate the idea of abandoning them just to move to the cloud.
That’s why we pioneered SOLIDWORKS Hosted as a Service (SHAAS). You get the same tools you know and love, but now they’re accessible from anywhere, without the IT overhead. It’s familiar, flexible, and built for engineers—not for IT departments.
4. Real Support, Not Just Ticket Numbers
When a design tool goes down, production stops. Your reseller should be on your side with proactive, responsive support.
Converge customers get access to Managed CAD Administration Services (MCAS)—which means you’re not relying on a help desk that doesn't understand your setup. You’re working with a team that built it with you from day one and knows exactly how to fix issues fast.
5. A True Engineering Partner
At Converge, we’re not a traditional VAR—we’re an engineering solutions company that just happens to resell SOLIDWORKS. Our team includes elite SOLIDWORKS professionals, CAD admins, IT specialists, and automation experts.
This means we don’t just “sell software.” We solve the problems that the software creates: messy data, inefficient workflows, overwhelmed IT teams, and remote collaboration challenges.
6. Proof—Not Promises
Want to know what a great reseller relationship really looks like? Look at the numbers:
- Vita Inclinata cut assembly load times from 30 minutes to 45 seconds.
- Fossil Group enabled seamless collaboration across three continents.
- Wooden Camera eliminated revision control issues and offloaded IT entirely.
We don’t just promise results—we document them.
So, What Should You Really Get?
✅ A SOLIDWORKS environment tailored to your workflows
✅ Cloud-hosted flexibility with no surprise headaches
✅ PDM systems that make collaboration easy
✅ Proactive support that doesn’t waste your time
✅ A partner who speaks engineering and understands IT
If you’re not getting this from your current reseller… it might be time to talk.
