ICN Solutions

What ICN Solutions does

ICN Solutions (legal entity: ICN bv) is a Netherlands-based Autodesk Platinum Partner founded in 1998 and headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch. The company operates as the Dutch entity within the auxalia WestCAM Group, which has a presence in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. ICN's core offering is the resale of the full Autodesk software suite for the Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) and Product Design & Manufacturing (PD&M) markets, including the AEC Collection, PD&M Collection, Revit, Inventor, AutoCAD, Fusion, Navisworks, Vault, and the Forma Industry Cloud. On top of resold Autodesk products, ICN has developed four proprietary add-ons: iFlow voor Inventor (document and workflow automation), ProjectBox voor Revit (BIM collaboration, originally developed by auxalia), 3B Tools voor Revit, and 3B View (model viewing). Beyond software, ICN delivers certified Autodesk training at its ICN Training Center, managed CAD workstation services under a 'Werkplekken as a Service' subscription model, and consulting in BIM implementation, process optimization, and sustainability.

ICN generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) Autodesk software resale (annual subscription pass-through, quote-based), (2) professional services — certified CAD/BIM training and consulting — billed on a project or per-seat basis, and (3) recurring managed ICT services (per-workstation monthly subscription) that bundle software, hardware, and security. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales combined with a channel-partner motion as an Autodesk Platinum reseller, supplemented by an e-commerce storefront (CADexpress) for mid-market customers. Named enterprise customers include Heijmans, Unica, BAM, Feadship, MVRDV, and Efteling, spanning construction, installation engineering, marine/super yacht, architecture, and entertainment/theme parks. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, no M&A activity, and no indication of institutional investor involvement. Operating status is active, with 11-50 employees and a maintained website and blog.

Direct peers

• Graitec: European Autodesk Platinum Partner and structural BIM software developer with Autodesk software resale, training, and proprietary add-ons (e.g., Advance BIM Designers). Targets the same AEC engineering customer profile as ICN across multiple European countries.
• ComputerWorks AG: Swiss Autodesk partner providing Autodesk software, training, and CAD consulting to manufacturing and AEC firms in Switzerland and the DACH region. Comparable as a sister Autodesk Platinum reseller within the same auxalia Westcam Group geography.
• Cadac Group: Dutch Autodesk Platinum Partner offering Autodesk software, training, and CAD/BIM services to manufacturing and AEC customers. Closely comparable in geography, partner tier, and value-added Autodesk distribution model.
• Novedge: Online CAD/CAM software reseller (including Autodesk products) serving professional designers and engineers globally. Comparable as a software distribution peer, though with a less services-heavy offering than ICN.
• Mensch und Maschine: German Autodesk Platinum Partner with a comparable mix of Autodesk software resale, CAD/CAM training, proprietary plug-ins (e.g., M&M Training), and managed CAD services across the DACH region. Operates the same value-added reseller model as ICN at larger scale.
• Construsoft: Dutch-based Autodesk Platinum Partner focused on the AEC market with a similar model of Autodesk software resale, BIM implementation services, training, and proprietary add-ons across the Benelux. Directly comparable in customer base and product mix to ICN.

Broad incumbents

• Solidworks (Dassault Systèmes): Major CAD/PLM software vendor and competitor to Autodesk in the PD&M space, with its own network of value-added resellers. Adjacent competitor for ICN's manufacturing customer segment rather than a direct reseller peer.
• IMAGINiT Technologies: Large North American Autodesk Platinum Partner with software resale, training, and implementation services. Comparable business model but operates at much greater scale and outside ICN's core geography.
• Trimble Buildings: AEC software incumbent (Tekla, SketchUp, Trimble Connect) competing with Autodesk in BIM, structural, and construction workflows. Comparable as an AEC technology peer whose products can substitute for parts of ICN's Autodesk-based stack.

Regional players

• ATC (Automated Technology Group): Scandinavian Autodesk partner offering CAD/CAM software, training, and engineering services across the Nordics. Comparable in product mix but primarily serves a different geography than ICN.
