What SOLIDEXPERT does

SOLIDEXPERT (legal entity: SOLIDEXPERT POLSKA SP. Z O.O.) is a Polish value-added software reseller and engineering services provider founded in 2002 and headquartered in Kraków. The company is an authorized reseller of Dassault Systèmes' SOLIDWORKS portfolio — covering CAD, Simulation, Flow Simulation, Plastics, PDM, Manage, CAM, Visualize, Electrical, Composer — and the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform (3D Creator, 3D Sculptor, SIMULIA, ENOVIA, DELMIA Works). It also resells complementary engineering tools (CAMWorks, Abaqus, CST Studio Suite, DraftSight, DriveWorks) and offers a suite of proprietary add-ons developed in-house (myCADtools, myPDMtools, Panel SOLIDEXPERT, myPDMconnector, DrawingExpert, Generator Kart Technologicznych, WOODEXPERT). The company serves Polish manufacturing and engineering companies as its primary segment, with secondary segments in universities/educational institutions and startups (via a free 3DEXPERIENCE for Startups program).

The business model is multi-stream: software licensing resale (SOLIDWORKS Standard, Professional, Premium tiers on annual subscription), 3DEXPERIENCE cloud subscriptions, technical training (including unlimited annual access packages), post-sale technical support subscriptions, one-time licenses for proprietary add-ons, and professional implementation services (PDM deployments, ERP integration, custom configurations). Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with a consultative needs-assessment approach, an online e-commerce channel (SOLIDWORKS ONLINE launched in 2024), and event-driven demand generation (MODSIM Summit, 3DEXPERIENCE Tour, webinars). Distribution is single-country (Poland) through direct enterprise sales, online store, and bundled training/support services.

The company has grown from a one-person operation to 100+ experts, served 3,500+ organizations cumulatively, and trained 9,500+ people since inception. In 2025, SOLIDEXPERT joined the international Visiativ Group, a digital transformation leader with 35+ years of experience across 15 countries, becoming a subsidiary while retaining its Polish market focus and brand. The acquisition introduces Visiativ PLM into the product portfolio and provides potential cross-border expansion pathways. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is a private Polish limited liability company with NIP 6772380230, headquartered at ul. Gabrieli Zapolskiej 44, 30-126 Kraków.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk (reseller ecosystem): Dominant CAD/CAM/CAE platform whose reseller ecosystem competes with Dassault/SOLIDWORKS channel partners across Poland; relevant for benchmarking share-shift dynamics.
• PTC (reseller ecosystem): Provider of Onshape and Creo, whose partner network sells into overlapping manufacturing customers in Poland and Central Europe. Relevant comparable for cloud-native CAD/PLM positioning.
• Dassault Systèmes: Global vendor of SOLIDWORKS and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform; the upstream supplier whose partner economics, product roadmap, and direct-cloud push directly shape SOLIDEXPERT's economics and competitive positioning.
• Visiativ Group: French-listed parent of SOLIDEXPERT and the most direct comparable: Visiativ is a digital transformation platform for SMB and mid-market manufacturers in France and beyond, distributing Dassault Systèmes solutions (including SOLIDWORKS) and providing PLM and consulting services. Operates in 15 countries, exactly the group that now owns SOLIDEXPERT.
