Quick Start Services

The Fastest Route to SOLIDWORKS Productivity

Don't waste weeks on self-implementation. Our Quick Start services provide a structured, expert-led setup for your new software, typically reducing configuration time by 80% and ensuring your system is built on industry best practices.

Why Choose a Quick Start?

Avoid the common pitfalls of a "guesswork" implementation and start seeing a return on your software investment immediately.

Dramatically Reduced Setup Time

Our experts handle the heavy lifting of installation and configuration, moving you from purchase to production in a fraction of the time.

Best-Practice Foundations

We ensure your templates, file structures, and settings are configured correctly from the start, preventing "technical debt" and future rework.

Hands-on Knowledge Transfer

Rather than just watching a video, your team works alongside a SOLIDWORKS Expert, learning the why behind the configuration.

Minimised Design Errors

Correct system setup ensures that your properties, Bill of Materials, and drawing standards are consistent across the whole team.

Optimised Performance

We tune your software and hardware settings to ensure the fastest possible assembly load times and stable performance.

Scalable Configuration

Our Quick Starts are designed to grow with you, creating a robust framework that can easily adapt as your team and project complexity increase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a "Quick Start"?

A Quick Start is a short-duration, high-impact consultancy engagement. A SOLIDWORKS Expert works with your team to install, configure, and provide initial training on a specific piece of software or a new module, ensuring you are "live" as quickly as possible.

How much time will it really save us?

On average, we see an 80% reduction in setup time compared to customers attempting self-implementation. What often takes a company 3-4 weeks to figure out alone, we can typically achieve in 2-3 days.

Is a Quick Start the same as a training course?

No. While it includes "knowledge transfer," training is about learning the software. A Quick Start is about configuring the software for your specific business. We set up your templates, your BOMs, and your workflows so that you are ready to work on actual projects the moment we finish.

Do we need to have a Quick Start for every new seat of software?

Not necessarily. Quick Starts are most valuable when you are adopting a new technology (like moving to PDM or Cloud Services) or when you want to overhaul your existing standards. Once your "Master Environment" is set up, adding additional seats is much easier.

Can Quick Starts be delivered remotely?

Yes. Most of our Quick Start services can be delivered effectively via remote screen-sharing sessions, though on-site visits are available if your infrastructure or project complexity requires a hands-on approach.

What do we need to prepare before the Quick Start begins?

Once you book, we provide a simple "Pre-Flight Checklist." This typically involves ensuring your hardware meets specifications and identifying the key stakeholders who will be involved in the decision-making process for your templates and workflows.

Can we use CAD Management Program credits for a Quick Start?

Absolutely. Quick Starts are a core component of our CAD Management Program. If you are already on the program, you can simply allocate your credits to trigger a Quick Start whenever you adopt new technology.

What happens after the Quick Start is finished?

You will be fully operational with a best-practice setup. You will also have a direct line to our support team, and because we performed the setup, we can troubleshoot any future issues much faster as we already understand your configuration.
