We were able to get through it within a couple of weeks

Your team worked very quickly to get us access to those custom fields and get them set up. We were able to get through it within a couple of weeks. It was pretty fast! That was cool to find out in that moment, yes, we did choose to work with the right people on this process.

The initial reaction was how easy CADTALK was to use

The initial reaction was how easy [CADTALK] was to use. How easy it was just to load in a drawing… Very few settings when you’re uploading something because you can configure it so that it works out what it needs to be and does all the correct combinations.
