What If Your Design Tools Were as Portable as Your Ideas?
Improving our CAD technology isn’t just about making increments in graphics and drafting tools, it’s also about facilitating CAD usage in different and more flexible ways. At Cadlogic, we believe that your CAD solutions should be as versatile as your needs. That’s why we’ve developed an advanced browser-based CAD platform that offers the power to design, review or capture from anywhere, on any device, without compromising performance.
In this article, we’ll explore the key benefits of our browser-based CAD technology and demonstrate how it’s helping companies like yours revolutionise their design workflows.
Understanding Our Browser-Based CAD Technology
Our browser-based CAD engine redefines how CAD technology can be tailored to our clients’ workloads. Here’s how it works and why it’s transforming the way our clients operate:
Our CAD platform is hosted directly through your web browser (…any web browser), eliminating the need for time-consuming installations or resource-heavy desktop software. Whether you're at the office, in the field, or working remotely, you have full access to the tools you need. Simply log in from any device and start using it.
This deployment method adds a lot of flexibility to optimise the experience for our users. We search for the right balance between functionality running from the web and that from the client device, making the software extremely light, while performing well. The result? A responsive, tailored design experience delivering efficient team output.
However, this setup can be even more effectively combined with desktop functionality to reach the best combination of both worlds. E.g. for design teams that need the muscle of desktop software for complex, resource-heavy tasks, but lighter more portable applications for viewing, data entry, or mobile versions, our browser-based platform seamlessly integrates with one or more desktop applications. This hybrid approach allows you to switch between tools effortlessly, choosing the best environment for each stage of the design process.
Browser-Based CAD - Key Benefits
Our browser-based CAD platform doesn’t just make your workflow more flexible—it transforms the way you use design. Here are some key advantages our platform offers:
- Unmatched Accessibility
Intelligent CAD solutions are no longer bound to office spaces. With our platform, you can work from any device with an internet connection, meaning we can create solutions that allow mobile or on-site use-cases e.g. for the measurement, audit, or review of design data.
- Multi-user Collaboration Across Teams
Imagine your team working on the same project or design from different locations, or even time zones - without file transfers or version control issues. By combining our browser-based CAD capabilities with cloud infrastructure, everyone’s in sync, collaborating in real-time on the same project. Your team can discuss changes, iterate designs, and make decisions faster than ever.
- Unlimited User Interface Options
A browser-based platform offers great flexibility in user interface design. Since the solution is not limited to desktop-based windows applications, a web-based solution offers a more adaptable, customizable interface that can be tailored to fit the needs of the user. Think touchscreens, tablet vs mobile device usage, data-input or simple viewing needs… the flexible browser environment allows intuitive, responsive interfaces to be tailored for productive, streamlined user experiences.
- No Installations, No Hassles
Software installations and maintenance across your user base can be a headache. Our browser-based CAD eliminates the need for manual installations and updates since everything happens server-side. This means your team is always working with the latest version, with no downtime for updates or compatibility issues.
- Scalability
Easily scale your CAD environment to suit your business’s needs. Whether you’re a small team or a large enterprise, our browser-based deployment model allows you to add or remove users as needed. So as your projects expand, so does your ability to manage more users, larger designs, and increasingly complex workflows.
How Our Clients Are Transforming Their Design Processes
Here’s how our browser-based CAD platform is making a difference in the real world:
- Embedded Design Tools for End-Customers
A B2B product manufacturing firm has integrated our browser-based CAD technology to offer their customers direct access to design and configure products online. Users can customize product details and instantly view pricing—no need for specialized software or speaking to a sales agent. This solution has streamlined the firm’s sales pipeline by providing a self-service channel for customers, while maintaining complete control over the design outputs and pricing rules from headquarters. The result? Greater customer engagement and reduced overhead without sacrificing accuracy or flexibility.
- Model Viewing and Data Extraction via the Cloud
A major UK retailer has leveraged our browser-based CAD platform in combination with cloud infrastructure to enhance how they manage their physical store designs. While their detailed 3D store models are created in a desktop application, our web-based solution makes those models—and their underlying data—accessible to teams across the organization. This has improved transparency, data continuity, and accessibility, eliminating the bottlenecks typically caused by complex file transfers. Now, everyone from store planners to executives can easily access and interrogate the data they need.
- On-Site Data Input and Revisions
For a residential refit and utility services provider, our browser-based CAD solution has transformed how they collect dimensional data on-site. Instead of using full CAD software—overly complex for this setting—our tailored mobile and tablet tool allows field agents to input only the necessary measurements. The solution quickly generates simple project visualizations that can be shown to the client in real-time, greatly enhancing the sales process by offering immediate, visual clarity of the proposed changes.
