Excitech

What Excitech does

Symetri (formerly Excitech) is a private, wholly-owned subsidiary of Swedish conglomerate Addnode Group and is positioned as Europe's leading provider of software and services for design and engineering activities. The company was formed through Addnode's acquisition of Excitech in January 2020, with the unified operating entity launched under the Symetri brand in January 2021. Symetri delivers digital BIM, product design, and product lifecycle solutions to manufacturing and architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) customers across nine countries (UK, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, United States, Brazil, Canada).

The company's product portfolio combines reselled third-party platforms with proprietary extensions: it holds Autodesk Platinum Partner status and resells the full Autodesk suite (AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor) along with Bluebeam products, while layering its own tools on top — Naviate (BIM extensions for Revit), Sovelia (PLM), CQi (CAD deployment), CQFlexmon (license monitoring), D2M3 (product data management), and ilean (an AI-powered troubleshooting/knowledge management agent developed with InUse). Underlying solutions are built around a LEAN philosophy aimed at removing waste from engineering and business processes, and are accompanied by ISO 9001 quality certification and ISO 19650 advisory services for the AEC sector.

Revenue is generated through four streams: software licensing and subscription resale, professional services (business process analysis, methodology development, implementation, BIM advisory, digital transformation consulting), training (classroom, virtual, bespoke, and the Velocity By Symetri subscription), and managed IT services (cybersecurity, business continuity, data management, CAD workstations). Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers and regional offices; supporting marketing channels include thought-leadership content, webinars, industry events, video/podcast, newsletters, and customer case studies. The company has no public listing, no disclosed revenue, and no disclosed headcount in the available source data.

Core offering

Excitech (now operating as Symetri) provides software and services for design and engineering activities, including proprietary BIM tools (Naviate), product lifecycle management (Sovelia), CAD installation and license management (CQi, CQFlexmon), AI-powered troubleshooting (ilean), and product data management (D2M3), alongside reselling Autodesk and Bluebeam products. The company delivers complementary professional services such as BIM advisory, PLM support, training, and managed IT services for manufacturing and construction organizations across Europe and North America.

Product overview

Symetri (formerly Excitech, acquired by Addnode Group in January 2020) offers a unified platform of digital BIM, product design, and lifecycle solutions organized into two main divisions: Product Design & Lifecycle and Buildings & Infrastructure. The portfolio includes core proprietary technology brands (Naviate, Sovelia, CQFlexmon, CQi, ilean, D2M3) alongside resold products (Autodesk, Bluebeam). These products work together as an integrated ecosystem—Autodesk serves as the foundational CAD/engineering platform, while Symetri's proprietary tools (Naviate for BIM extensions, Sovelia for PLM, CQFlexmon/CQi for quality management, ilean for AI-powered troubleshooting, D2M3 for product data management) layer on top to add functionality. The company also provides IT solutions and professional services including training, support, and implementation.

Broad incumbents

• Bentley Systems: Major infrastructure engineering software vendor with a BIM/digital twin platform competing for the same AEC and infrastructure budgets Symetri addresses. Comparable as a competing technology stack in BIM and infrastructure design.
• HP (Workstations & Design Solutions): Global hardware incumbent supplying CAD workstations and lifecycle services used by the same design and engineering customers as Symetri. Overlaps with Symetri's CAD workstation and IT infrastructure offerings but at a much broader scale.
• Trimble (Architecture & Construction): Diversified technology provider with significant AEC software offerings (Tekla, SketchUp, Trimble Connect) competing with the Autodesk-centric AEC stack Symetri resells and extends.

Direct peers

• CADLINE: UK-based Autodesk partner delivering BIM, CAD, and design technology solutions with training and implementation services. Closely overlaps with Symetri's UK Autodesk reseller and AEC consulting business.
• Man and Machine: European Autodesk-focused reseller offering software, training, and IT services for design and engineering environments. Comparable to Symetri's CAD workstation, software, and managed services portfolio.
• Graitec: European Autodesk Platinum partner and BIM/structural engineering software specialist that resells Autodesk products and offers its own CAD/structural add-ons. Highly comparable to Symetri given overlapping Autodesk channel position, AEC focus, and proprietary tooling strategy.
• ATG (Applied Technology Group): US Autodesk partner providing design technology solutions, training, and consulting to AEC and manufacturing customers. Comparable peer given Symetri's Autodesk-centric services model across AEC and product design.
• IMAGINiT Technologies: North American Autodesk Platinum partner providing software, training, and consulting for design and engineering workflows. Comparable to Symetri as a multi-region Autodesk value-added reseller serving AEC and manufacturing customers.

Regional players

• SolidCAD (Symetri Canada brand affiliate): Canadian Autodesk partner and Symetri-affiliated entity serving the Canadian AEC and manufacturing market. Comparable peer given the same Autodesk reseller and services model in a different geography.

Emerging players

• CGS (Computer Guidance & Support): Specialized Autodesk partner focused on CAD/CAM and manufacturing design solutions, overlapping with Symetri's Product Design & Lifecycle division serving industrial manufacturers.
