Case Study: Multiquip achieves faster product development and major cost savings with SolidWorks Professional

Building product development efficiencies with SolidWorks Professional

Multiquip, Inc., a major manufacturer of light- and medium-sized construction equipment, faced growing global competition and inefficiencies in product development after a failed Pro/INTRALINK deployment. Seeking a 3D CAD system with integrated product data management, Multiquip selected SolidWorks Professional to replace its legacy tools and improve productivity across engineering and downstream functions.

SolidWorks implemented SolidWorks Professional with integrated PDM, eDrawings, and Web Portal capabilities, plus component libraries and PhotoWorks rendering, streamlining access, revision control, and communication. As a result Multiquip cut its design cycle by 10%, shortened ECO handling by 10%, reduced prototype costs by 12%, lowered annual scrap by 25%, and realized broad downstream efficiencies in purchasing, quality, manufacturing, sales, and technical publications thanks to SolidWorks.
