• Rules-based engineering that reduces design errors
• Automated SOLIDWORKS model generation for consistent outputs
• Guided selling that prevents incorrect product configurations
• Automated pricing to improve quote accuracy and protect margins
• Streamlined approval workflows that speed up decision-making
• Real-time integration with business systems to keep data aligned

The Benefits of Improved Accuracy

Improving accuracy delivers measurable benefits across engineering, sales and manufacturing, including:

1. More consistent product quality
2. Reduced rework and fewer costly mistakes
3. Faster design and quotation processes
4. Improved customer satisfaction
5. Increased competitive advantage
6. Better compliance with regulatory requirements

How DriveWorks Improves Accuracy

⚙️ Rules That Drive Better Designs

DriveWorks enables engineering teams to automate the creation of product variations using predefined rules and design logic. By capturing engineering knowledge and design intent within configurable rules, repetitive manual tasks are reduced and the risk of human error is significantly lowered.

💻 Automate SOLIDWORKS Design Creation

DriveWorks automates repetitive SOLIDWORKS tasks, reducing reliance on manual input while ensuring every design is generated consistently. Designs are created using validated data and predefined rules, helping maintain quality across every project.

🤝 Guide Every Customer to the Right Product

Sales teams can accurately configure products, generate reliable quotations and confidently sell complex custom products. Customers can also configure products themselves, knowing only valid and manufacturable options are available. This reduces rework while improving quote turnaround times.

💷 Automate Pricing with Confidence

DriveWorks applies rules-based pricing to ensure quotations remain accurate and up to date. Complex pricing structures and discounts are calculated automatically, helping manufacturers maintain profitability while reducing manual effort.

✅ Speed Up Approvals

Built-in approval processes ensure the right documents are reviewed by the appropriate people at the right time. This improves quote accuracy, reduces delays and enables faster responses to customers.

🔄 Connect Your Business Systems

DriveWorks integrates with ERP, CRM and other business systems to eliminate manual data entry and disconnected processes. Product configurations, pricing and manufacturing documentation always reflect the latest business data, reducing errors and ensuring consistency throughout the organisation.

🏭 DriveWorks in Action

Manufacturers across a wide range of industries use DriveWorks to improve design accuracy, streamline workflows and reduce manual processes. Like José Antonio Callaved, Head of R&D Mechanics at MP:

“Since we started using DriveWorks, it has greatly helped us to have tremendous reliability in the product definition we create and how we can transmit that definition to the other areas without any errors, without any manual intervention.”
