U.S. CAD Streamlines and Grows Its Professional Services Consultancy

U.S. CAD, a consultancy focused on building information modeling (BIM) and manufacturing, wrestled with six siloed on-premise applications for financials, CRM, project management and other functions. Poor visibility, manual work and disparate data sets prompted U.S. CAD, an Autodesk Platinum Reseller based in southern California, to seek a unified, scalable platform that would allow it to consolidate business functions.

“The real-time information and 360-degree view of the business we have with NetSuite have been extremely valuable. Our time savings are immense and we have real-time access to our most critical data.” Daniel Counts, Founder & CEO, U.S. CAD

Application Silos Limit Business Efficiency at an Autodesk Reseller

Unified and efficient front- and back-office business management: U.S. CAD chose NetSuite in late 2005 as a “one-stop shop” that could seamlessly integrate all core front- and back-office business processes. With ongoing optimizations by NetSuite Solution Provider Navigant Solutions, U.S. CAD has progressively evolved its use of NetSuite to cover financials, CRM, project management and contract renewals. The company has streamlined its lead-to-order-to-cash cycle and improved business visibility from end-to-end.

A decade of business growth and agility in the cloud: U.S. CAD has grown revenue between 10% to 15% annually each year since NetSuite went live, and has doubled its customer base since 2009. The ability to access critical information in real-time has been crucial in U.S. CAD’s ability to better meet client needs, incorporate new offerings and software vendor partners, and expand operations across eight offices in the western U.S.—all while realizing “immense” time savings.

A future-proof platform flexible to changing business needs: NetSuite flexes and scales along with U.S. CAD’s ongoing business growth. The company recently implemented NetSuite Contract Renewals to help maximize its subscription-based line of business, accounting for 50% of revenue. Ease of customizations and integrations enhance a future-proof cloud platform that U.S. CAD can grow into, not grow out of, without the cost and complexity of fragmented in-house software and servers.
