Atlancad

What Atlancad does

Atlancad is a French Autodesk Authorized Reseller and Authorized Training Center, founded in 1997 and headquartered in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre near Nantes, serving construction and industrial professionals across France. The company operates across three integrated métiers: software integrator (Autodesk license sales and account management), software publisher (proprietary plugins for Autodesk platforms), and certified training provider (Qualiopi-certified courses delivered across five French cities: Lille, Nantes, Rennes, Strasbourg, and Bordeaux). Its customer base spans construction firms, structural and MEP engineers, architects, modular builders, real estate developers, industrial manufacturers, and maritime/shipbuilding specialists, with named enterprise logos including COUGNAUD, REALITES, Chantiers de l'Atlantique, and Charier.

Core technology combines the full Autodesk AEC and Industrial portfolio (Revit, Inventor, Navisworks, AutoCAD, BIM 360/Construction Cloud, Forma/Spacemaker, Recap, Vault, Robot Structural Analysis) with four proprietary plugin lines: Reogen (rebar/ferraillage optimization in Revit with 6-7% welded mesh waste vs. 25-30% industry baseline), Kronoss for Revit and Kronoss for Inventor (dimensioning, selection, and sheet metal automation), Revlib (Architecture/MEP/Structure template and family libraries with 700+ families and 800+ materials), and Easyplans (automated sales plan generation). Consulting services are branded Atlanbim (BIM management and AMO BIM) and ECORCE (eco-design consulting for RE2020 compliance).

Revenue mechanics blend low-margin Autodesk license pass-through (with Autodesk invoicing directly since 2024 while Atlancad retains account management), one-time and subscription sales of proprietary plugins, Qualiopi-certified training priced at €1,090-€1,290 HT per day per seat (with up to 100% OPCO Atlas funding available on selected programs), professional services for BIM management and eco-design, and ancillary training room rental. Distribution is multi-channel: direct enterprise field sales, e-commerce, inside sales, in-person training across five cities, and custom development engagements. The company is privately held as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) under Bernard CROSNIER as legal representative, with no external institutional investors disclosed and organic headcount growth from 9 to 24 employees between 2015 and 2019.

Revenue model

1. Autodesk Software Licensing & Subscriptions: Atlancad acts as an Autodesk Authorized Reseller, selling Autodesk software licenses and subscriptions (Revit, Inventor, Navisworks, AutoCAD, etc.) on behalf of Autodesk. Revenue comes from the resale of Autodesk products, with Atlancad providing advisory services on optimal licensing. Following a 2024 administrative change, Autodesk now invoices customers directly while Atlancad remains the account manager and advisor.
2. Atlancad Proprietary Software (Plugins): Atlancad develops and sells proprietary plugins for Autodesk software: Reogen (rebar), Kronoss (Revit & Inventor), Revlib (families/template), and Easyplans. These are sold as one-time licenses or subscriptions bundled with Autodesk software.
3. Professional Training Services: Atlancad operates a certified training center (Qualiopi) offering courses on Autodesk software, BIM methodologies, AI, eco-design, and Atlancad plugins. Training is delivered in-person at multiple French cities or remotely, with inter-company and intra-company formats. Some programs are fully funded via OPCO Atlas action collective.
4. BIM Consulting & Technical Support: Services include BIM management (Atlanbim), AMO BIM, digital transformation consulting, eco-design consulting (ECORCE), technical hotline support, usage analysis, and custom plugin development. These professional services complement software sales and drive adoption.
5. Training Room Rental: Atlancad rents out 3 equipped training rooms (capacity 6 persons each) at its La Chapelle sur Erdre location when trainers are off-site. Includes high-performance PCs, interactive IJKOA screen, and fiber WiFi.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• CYPE Ingenieros: Spanish construction-engineering software developer with strong Iberian presence; comparable as a regional CAD/BIM software and consulting ecosystem targeting European construction professionals.

Direct peers

• Graitec: French-origin Autodesk reseller and CAD/BIM software developer (Advance Steel, PowerPack for Revit) now operating across Europe. Directly comparable to Atlancad as an Autodesk channel partner that also develops proprietary AEC plugins.
• Arkance Systems (formerly CAD Distribution / Man and Machine): European Autodesk reseller and digitalization partner serving construction and manufacturing with software resale, training, and consulting — same full-stack GTM as Atlancad but at broader European scale.

Emerging players

• Solibri (Trimble): BIM quality assurance and model-checking software developer; intersects with Atlancad's BIM consulting and Autodesk Construction Cloud ecosystem, targeting the same AEC customers in France.
• Bricsys (Hexagon): BricsCAD developer offering an alternative to AutoCAD for AEC and manufacturing; relevant as a competing CAD platform that could redirect Autodesk-dependent resellers like Atlancad.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble: Broad construction-technology incumbent (Tekla, SketchUp, Trimble Connect) competing with the Autodesk stack that Atlancad distributes; relevant for understanding platform-level competitive dynamics affecting Atlancad's reseller position.
• Bentley Systems: Infrastructure and AEC software incumbent (MicroStation, OpenBuildings) competing with Autodesk in the AEC vertical — a parallel platform choice Atlancad's customers could shift to, affecting plugin and training relevance.
• NEMETSCHEK Group: European AEC software group (Allplan, Graphisoft, Solibri, Vectorworks) competing with Autodesk and its channel partners like Atlancad in the European BIM market.
