What Computrends System Technology does

Computrends System Technology Inc. is a Philippine-based Value-Added Reseller (VAR) for Dassault Systèmes' SOLIDWORKS portfolio of 3D CAD, simulation, electrical, product data management, and manufacturing software, serving manufacturing companies and educational institutions across the country. Incorporated in August 1991 and appointed as a SOLIDWORKS VAR in 2007, the company positions itself as the #1 SOLIDWORKS reseller in the Philippines, with over 26,000 cumulative licenses installed and a 30+ year operating history. It also resells complementary partner solutions — CAMWorks, hyperMILL, DriveWorks, DraftSight, SolidPlant 3D, MakerBot 3D printers, and Dell/HP workstations — making it a one-stop distributor for engineering product-development tooling.

The company's core technical offering spans the SOLIDWORKS Works portfolio: SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD (Standard, Professional, Premium), SOLIDWORKS Simulation, SOLIDWORKS Electrical (including SOLIDWORKS PCB powered by Altium, Electrical Schematic Standard/Professional, Electrical 3D, and CircuitWorks), SOLIDWORKS PDM (Standard and Professional), SOLIDWORKS Composer, SOLIDWORKS Visualize, SOLIDWORKS MBD, SOLIDWORKS Inspection, and the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE Works platform. The company differentiates through certified human capital — including the first Certified SOLIDWORKS ELITE Applications Engineer in the Philippines, Certified SOLIDWORKS Experts, Certified SOLIDWORKS Professionals, and a dedicated Education Division — and through an Authorized Training Center that has trained more than 2,000 engineers.

Commercially, Computrends monetizes across multiple streams: (1) SOLIDWORKS software licenses and annual subscriptions (recurring revenue), (2) certified training and professional services, (3) subscription support services covering upgrades and technical consulting (recurring), and (4) complementary partner software, hardware, and 3D printers (transactional). Distribution is sales-led and direct, supported by an Applications Engineering team for product demonstrations and technical consulting, event-based marketing (SOLIDWORKS Innovation Day, 3DEXPERIENCE World, Model Mania, Metals and Engineering Week), and a multi-channel digital presence. The company is headquartered in Makati City with a Cebu branch in Mandaue City, is privately held with no disclosed parent or external funding, and is led by Managing Director George Ong.
