What Artaker does

Artaker (legal entity: ARTAKER Büroautomation GmbH) is an Austrian Autodesk Gold Partner headquartered at Heumühlgasse 11, 1040 Vienna, specializing in the resale, consulting, implementation, and training of CAD, BIM, and PLM software. The firm is privately held under a GmbH structure (Firmenbuch-Nummer FN 126281h, UID ATU14278707) with three managing directors — Mag. Matthias Artaker, Mag. (FH) Gudrun Heilig, and Ing. Manfred Humenberger — and reports a headcount in the 11-50 range. The catalog is anchored on the Autodesk ecosystem (AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, Vault, Navisworks, Plant 3D, Fusion, Forma, Construction Cloud), extended through third-party add-ons such as PiCri (IntegaDesign), coolOrange powerJobs, and Auxalia PlantExpressTools, plus proprietary assets like ARTAKER Revit templates.

The firm serves four vertical segments — Architecture/Engineering/Construction, Mechanical Engineering & Machine Construction, Plant & Steel Construction, and Public Sector/Government — across the DACH region (Austria, Germany, Switzerland), with physical-goods shipping also extending to Belgium, Luxembourg, and South Tyrol (Italy). Its technology stack is essentially the Autodesk ecosystem with proprietary implementation methodologies (PLM Quickstart in 3 weeks, Vault Quickstart in 3 days), ERP-Vault integration patterns, and CPQ/PDM automation — the firm is a DACH-tier Autodesk integrator rather than an independent software vendor. Marketing is multi-channel: a content-heavy blog, segmented newsletters across four engineering disciplines, Connected Engineering events co-organized with coolOrange and DLP Engineers, deep-dive webinars, paid search and social (Google Ads, Bing Ads, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn), and CRM-grade analytics through Google Analytics plus Matomo (self-hosted, Austrian/German data residency).

Revenue mechanics are diversified across four streams: Autodesk software subscriptions (recurring, annual billing cadence with 3-month cancellation notice on annual contracts and an 8% pass-through price increase cap on maintenance); training services including the buildingSMART Professional Certification program (e.g., €840 for Foundation); consulting and implementation services (BIM, PLM, cloud collaboration, license management, public-sector digitalization); and third-party software plus physical goods resale (media kits, training handbooks, SpaceMouse hardware) with defined shipping tiers across the DACH+Benelux+South Tyrol footprint. Pricing is partially publicly disclosed and the firm operates a hybrid model — direct e-commerce plus consultation-driven enterprise sales — with an AI-augmented training platform and event-led demand generation through Connected Engineering.

• Plantech GmbH: Autodesk reseller in Germany focused on CAD/CAM and plant engineering software — comparable vertical specialization (mechanical and plant) and Autodesk Gold-tier positioning.
• IBK IngenieurBeratung GmbH: DACH-based Autodesk partner specialized in PLM, CAD, and BIM consulting with implementation and training services, closely mirroring Artaker's services-led engagement model.
• Mensch und Maschine Software SE (now part of Bechtle PLM): Was the leading publicly listed Autodesk Gold Partner in the DACH region (now operating under Bechtle PLM) with a nearly identical mix of Autodesk software resale, CAD/BIM/PLM consulting, and training services. Closest direct comparable in business model and customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Nemetschek Group: Listed European AEC software umbrella (Allplan, Graphisoft, Vectorworks, Solibri). Competes with the Autodesk stack Artaker resells and trains on, while also enabling partnership opportunities.
• RIB Software (Schneider Electric): Construction and building-sector software vendor (now under Schneider Electric) overlapping with Artaker's AEC and construction-customer base, particularly around project management and digital construction workflows.
• Graphisoft SE (Nemetschek Group): Developer of Archicad, a direct BIM competitor to Autodesk Revit. Targets the same architectural firms in DACH that Artaker services, making it a thematic adjacency to Artaker's AEC software and training practice.
• Bechtle AG: Large DACH-headquartered IT system house and Autodesk partner (parent of Mensch und Maschine). Overlaps with Artaker in Autodesk software distribution but operates at significantly larger scale across a much broader IT portfolio.
• ALLPLAN GmbH (Nemetschek Group): Nemetschek-owned AEC software vendor offering BIM solutions that overlap with the Autodesk Revit ecosystem. Competes with the same AEC customers that Artaker serves with Autodesk tooling.

Emerging players
