In today’s fast-paced construction and tendering landscape, efficiency is everything. Teams can no longer afford disconnected tools, delayed file access, or complex software dependencies.

With the release of Fortender new update, we’re introducing a powerful, fully live integration with Autodesk—designed to streamline CAD workflows, improve collaboration, and accelerate the entire tendering process.

This update marks a major step toward fully connected, cloud-based tender management.

What Is the Fortender x Autodesk Integration?

Fortender now integrates directly with Autodesk Platform Services (APS), allowing users to access and manage CAD drawings seamlessly within the platform.

This means:

• No switching between multiple tools
• No manual file conversions
• No dependency on heavy desktop software

Everything is centralized, accessible, and built for speed.

Key Features of the Autodesk Integration

1. Available Across All Plans

The Autodesk integration is accessible to all Fortender users, including:

• Free Tier
• Basic Credits plan
• Flexible (Flexi) plans
• Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)

This ensures that teams of all sizes can benefit from advanced CAD integration without limitations.

2. Organization-Wide Access with a Single Connection

Once a single Autodesk account is connected, the entire organization can access drawings and workflows.

No need to:

• Purchase multiple Autodesk licenses
• Manage separate user permissions
• Duplicate access across teams

This approach simplifies operations and enhances collaboration across departments.

3. No Plugins or Software Installation Required

Traditional CAD workflows often require installing and maintaining complex software. Fortender eliminates this completely.

With browser-based access, your team can:

• Open and view CAD files instantly
• Work from any device or location
• Avoid compatibility and version issues

4. Direct CAD File Viewing and Interaction

Fortender can now read and display CAD files directly within the platform.

Benefits include:

• Faster access to project drawings
• Reduced delays in tender preparation
• Improved coordination between technical and commercial teams
• A single source of truth for all stakeholders

How It Works: Simple, Fast, Connected

1. Connect your Autodesk account via APS
2. Access your CAD drawings inside Fortender
3. View, manage, and collaborate in real time

No training curve. No technical complexity. Just a faster workflow.
