When investing in SOLIDWORKS, choosing where to purchase your licence is as important as the software itself.

While it’s possible to acquire SOLIDWORKS licences from various sources, partnering with an authorised reseller like MECAD Systems offers unmatched value.

From expert support to tailored training and licensing flexibility, resellers ensure that you get the most out of your investment.

In this guide, we’ll explore the benefits of purchasing SOLIDWORKS from a reseller and how MECAD Systems helps you maximise your software experience.

1. What is an Authorised SOLIDWORKS Reseller?

An authorised SOLIDWORKS reseller is a certified partner of Dassault Systèmes, trained and equipped to sell, support, and customise SOLIDWORKS software for businesses.

Resellers bridge the gap between the software provider and end-users, offering a personalised approach to licensing, implementation, and ongoing support.

1.1. Key Benefits of Working with an Authorised Reseller

1.1.1. Expert Guidance

Resellers provide in-depth knowledge of SOLIDWORKS products, helping you choose the right package based on your specific design, simulation, or manufacturing needs.

1.1.2. Training and Certification

Through resellers, you gain access to certified training programmes like MECAD Academy’s SOLIDWORKS Essentials, ensuring your team uses the software efficiently from day one.

1.1.3. Technical Support

Authorised resellers offer dedicated technical support, ensuring that any issues with the software are resolved quickly and effectively. This support is often included with your subscription or maintenance package.

2. Advantages of Buying SOLIDWORKS from MECAD Systems

MECAD Systems takes the reseller experience a step further by offering tailored services to meet your unique business requirements.

2.1. Customised Licensing Options

MECAD Systems provides a range of licensing options, including term, perpetual, and network licences.

We work with you to determine the most cost-effective licensing structure based on your team size and project scope.

2.2. Localised Expertise

As a South African reseller, MECAD Systems understands the specific challenges faced by local businesses.

Our solutions are tailored to align with industry needs, ensuring you get relevant advice and support.

2.3. Value-Added Services

In addition to software sales, MECAD Systems offers add-on services such as simulation audits, large assembly optimisation, and tailored consulting.

This ensures you’re not just purchasing software but investing in a comprehensive solution.

3. Why Resellers are Better than Direct Purchases

Buying SOLIDWORKS directly from Dassault Systèmes might seem convenient, but it often lacks the personal touch and added services that resellers provide.

3.1. Enhanced Support and Service

Resellers like MECAD Systems prioritise customer relationships, ensuring you have a partner throughout your SOLIDWORKS journey.

From onboarding to advanced troubleshooting, resellers offer a level of service that direct purchases simply cannot match.

3.2. Better ROI Through Training and Support

Resellers invest in your success by offering training programmes, support packages, and software customisation services.

These value-added services ensure that your team can fully leverage SOLIDWORKS capabilities, providing a better return on investment.

4. The Bottom Line

Partnering with an authorised reseller like MECAD Systems ensures you get the most out of SOLIDWORKS.

From tailored licensing options to localised support and training, resellers offer a comprehensive approach to implementing and maximising your software investment.

By choosing MECAD Systems, you’re not just buying SOLIDWORKS—you’re gaining a trusted partner for your design and engineering needs.
