What do you like best about CADDi Drawer?

The functionality is excellent. It's like a Google search engine for your own business documents and past project data. Can quickly find drawings or specifications by keyword search. As a salesman, that quickly puts me in touch with similar products or projects for cost reference, lead-time, reflection items, etc. No more clicking endlessly through folders on the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CADDi Drawer?

Having to convert everything to PDF is probably the biggest downside. If there were a way, in the future, to enable uploads of AutoCAD drawings / excel files / word documents / etc. that would be a massive time saver for your customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CADDi Drawer solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have had issues with errors slipping through in our electrical hardward designs. We are using CADDi as a way to search for and compare similar controls systems as a way of proofreading controls designs.

Sales team is using CADDi to quickly find reference information (cost, content) for estimating new projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CADDi Drawer?

In regular operations, each department can easily search for information such as estimates for sales, production information for manufacturing, design and development for engineering, and standards and specifications for quality. Looking to the future, this is a very wonderful product that can digitize and capitalize on each department's knowledge and skills. The support after installation is also excellent, with advice and help to respond quickly and promote further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CADDi Drawer?

None in particular. As it is a cloud system, there is a possibility that it may not be usable when the network is down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CADDi Drawer solving and how is that benefiting you?

As well as being able to search for and find the information we want quickly, by connecting individual skills and the knowledge and know-how of each department on a single platform, we can manage everything together, and by connecting the data, the information becomes more concentrated, and we can get a synergistic effect.

What do you like best about CADDi Drawer?

CADDi works best when looked at as an "in process" software. Every time I deposit data into the program, it becomes more valuable to the future of my company.

I appreciate the ability to look back at drawings and old data with a greater ability to search than I would have in my normal file explorer.

In addition, I cannot more highly reccomend the team that comes with the product. NIck and the support team have constantly been at work improving the environment within CADDi for my company for the last 7 months. Constantly. If I had doubts about the viability of the software for my company in the beginning, they have been erased as it has become gradually more customized to our use case. It's a really cool software on it's own, but when the team begins to tool it to fit the application it really begins to make sense.

We use CADDi weekly, and as it gets better and better with more data input every month, we are only finding more uses for it.

The only downside is that uploads are manual! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How to create a legacy archive of engineering data available to any new hires in the future, as well as providing insight into design practices at our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about CADDi Drawer?

CADDi Drawer allows me to revisit past drawings that are critical to my weekly workflow. This is an aspect of the system that allows me to maintain visuals on all ends of my processes to present and push out consistently reliable numbers to my clients. From what would usually take one to two hours to complete an extensive quote brings it down to an average hour.

The ease of searching using key words also makes it seemless for me to maintain positive workflow. Additionally, I really appreciate the immediate customer support provided as it allows me to adjust or easily integrate quickly with the system. With everything considered, the easy of implementation allows me to frequently use CADDi in my day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CADDi Drawer?

With CADDi Drawer still in the early stages there are a number of features that will need working on, but are not detrimental to the everyday workflow. At this point in time, it may just be adjustment to how the system can allow us to search very specific areas of our projects during quotation.

As with all teams, new information integration is always a challenge and I think the CADDi team has handled this well through their involved customer service experience. For this I look forward to having more of our information integrated in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CADDi Drawer solving and how is that benefiting you?

CADDi is helping me solve the issue of making sure recent 2D drawing information is integrated into the system so that it remains a smooth process of having it into our everyday workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CADDi Drawer?

The ability to register and access data such as drawings and technical information that we've created, available at any time to all of our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CADDi Drawer?

While there aren't any specific issues, one aspect that could be improved is the ability to prioritize information, such as setting time-based notification Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CADDi Drawer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many drawings and pieces of information were handled in physical form, requiring actions such as copying and filing. Even after scanning, we were organizing and storing in folders. Having both paper and digital data resulted in a lot of confusion on our team, and many tasks relied on people's memory. There were some problems, such as the loss of knowledge due to employees leaving, technical professionals who couldn't be transferred because of their knowledge, employees whose job became searching for drawings, and misinterpretation of customer requirements.

However, we had created a culture that accepted these problems. By introducing Drawer, we achieved 70% paperless operations, reduced drawing search time by 95%, and generated positive effects across all levels of the company. The cost-effectiveness even increased fivefold. But the biggest benefit was the transformation of our organizational culture. The success of reevaluating what was considered normal work made us consider more innovations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CADDi Drawer?

Drawings contain various information such as text, numbers, and shapes, but to quickly access the necessary information from tens of thousands of drawings, it is necessary to categorize what type of information they are. For example, even if the text "ASSY" exists somewhere, picking up a huge amount of search noise will not tell you whether "ASSY" is the title name of the drawing, part of the drawing number, or an assembly instruction within the drawing. CADDi Drawer has a function to extract attribute information from drawings, making it possible to find what I'm looking for more easily. While I think the similar shape search function is also excellent, the attribute extraction function is the most widely used function for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CADDi Drawer?

Drawer may not be suitable for departments that do not have a ton of drawing assets. CADDi could expand the variety of services offered to reach these departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CADDi Drawer solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're able to minimize oversight in our searches, and reduce a ton of wasted time when searching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
