Cadventure Joins Bentley Systems

Thank you for visiting our Vectorworks website. We are pleased to share some important news: Cadventure has been acquired by Bentley Systems. As part of this transition, we have stepped down from our partnership with Vectorworks.

While we are no longer able to sell or support Vectorworks products, we have great confidence in our trusted colleagues at CAD Software Direct, who are leading Vectorworks partners. If you would like an introduction, we would be happy to connect you so they can continue the high standard of service you have come to expect from us.

Answering Your Questions

Now that Cadventure have been acquired b Bentley Systems and we are no longer an active Vectorworks Partner, we wanted to explain a little more about the background to this and what it means for you.

Cadventure have enjoyed a great relationship with Vectorworks over more than twenty years and have been highly successful as a Platinum partner. However, as we look at the next phase of growth, we have made the strategic decision to focus exclusively on our Bentley Systems portfolio for software, consultancy, and training.
As part of this, Cadventure have been acquired by Bentley Systems, so it is no longer possible for us to continue as a Vectorworks partner.
We have always enjoyed a strong relationship with CAD Software Direct and believe that their approach to customer service aligns with ours. Hence, the introduction of our clients to them.

For now, it will be business as usual. Current new license and renewal quotations in progress with the Cadventure team will not be impacted. Our intention is to gracefully exit the Vectorworks sales arena and make this a seamless transition for our clients.
Moving forward, Cadventure will work closely our CAD Software Direct colleagues who are also highly successful Vectorworks partners. This is to help transfer our customers so that you will continue to receive the service and support you need, backed up with additional resources. Clients can expect the same level of product and service offering, with strong customer service orientation as you have enjoyed from Cadventure. CAD Software Direct also sell a wide range of other 3D and CAD software which may be of interest.

All Vectorworks licenses purchased through Cadventure will continue to be maintained and supported through your Vectorworks portal. If you would like to discuss your next renewal, additional licenses and upgrade requests, plus associated training, and consultancy services that you may require, please talk to the CAD Software Direct team. You can, of course, talk to another partner or Vectorworks UK if you prefer.

Other Cadventure solutions for Bentley Systems will continue to be managed and provided by the Cadventure team as before.

Cadventure will work closely with CAD Software Direct Vectorworks team to introduce you to your new point of contact, some of whom you may be familiar with. Your account manager will be in touch with you shortly. Importantly we want this to be a smooth experience for our clients as we will continue to work with you on other AEC solutions.

For all sales enquiries, please contact: vw@cadsoftwaredirect.co.uk

Any Vectorworks training that has been booked and invoiced will go ahead. Any thing new that is required will be handled by CAD Software Direct.

The last date for placing orders directly with Cadventure through the portal will be by Friday 29th November. We will endeavour to honour quotes already provided by Cadventure through CAD Software Direct. Each will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

As always, your main point of contact is Claire Russell, Sales Manager. You can also talk to Patrick Mc Namara – Sales Director or Elaine Lewis – Managing Director.

Staying Connected

While this is an exciting new chapter for Cadventure, we are committed to keeping you informed every step of the way so please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to helping you succeed with your AEC software needs—whether through our new Bentley focus or by connecting you with the right partners for Vectorworks.
