Global manufacturing and design software specialists become Autodesk Unique Applications Resellers

Planit Holdings Plc has extended the collaboration between its Radan and Alphacam operating companies and Autodesk through the signing of a group-wide agreement to become an Autodesk Inventor Unique Application Reseller.

As a result, world-wide customers of Planit's industry-leading Radan and Alphacam software will now have a single point of supply and support for high productivity design-to-manufacturing solutions incorporating Autodesk Inventor, the 3D mechanical design application.

The new collaboration also builds on Radan's strong reputation as an Autodesk System Centre.

"Radan has enormous experience of providing solutions that include Autodesk design software and, certainly in the UK, we acknowledge the company as our leading partner in the sheet metal sector," notes Kevin Ison, Autodesk Sales Director, Manufacturing Solutions Division.  "Autodesk's Unique Applications Reseller programme recognises that manufacturing companies require highly competent suppliers, who understand their processes from end to end.  We feel that Radan and its sister organisations within the Planit group clearly offer this."

Planit's manufacturing software covers the complete spectrum of user industries and includes Alphacam 2-5 axis machining modules for metal, stone and woodworking applications, as well as Radan's sheet metal punching, profiling and bending solutions.

"The integration of Autodesk Inventor with our software and support services enables us to add significant value to our customers' operations," says Patrick Love, Planit's Group Sales and Marketing Director.  "Our experience and skills in the manufacturing arena will prove invaluable in assisting customers to utilise our portfolio of design-to-manufacturing software for maximum competitive advantage."
