CES File Manager’s Impact on Engineering Firms
Productivity
The Problem
Most engineering firms face a common problem: limited instant access to essential files like CAD blocks, templates, and datasheets. Even in well-organized companies, employees often waste 10-20 minutes daily searching for files—adding up to 1-2 weeks of lost productivity each year.
Our Solution
CES File Manager enables companies to create customized libraries, categorizing and assigning custom fields to files, making it easy to find what you need instantly. This saves time and resources by finding what you need with simple keyword searches.
Integrations
The Problem
AutoCAD is the leading engineering design software, but its standard package lacks robust block management and search capabilities. While users can create ribbons or use the built-in block library, this often slows performance and makes it hard to find specific blocks.
Our Solution
CES File Manager provides an optional lightweight AutoCAD plugin, enabling users to quickly find and insert blocks directly into their drawings, streamlining the design process.
Additional software integrations can be developed based on demand.
Save Money
The Problem
As noted earlier, users can spend a total of 1 to 2 weeks worth of time per year searching for the files that they need. With an average salary for an engineer/designer being $80,000/year, that equates to wasting up to $3,000 per employee, per year.
Our Solution
CES File Manager licenses costs $60 per user annually, with up to 25% off with bulk license discounts. For a medium-sized engineering firm with 100 employees, eliminating that wasted time in file searching means saving $150,000 a year in wasted productivity.
