What Modoo Solution does

Modoo Solution (모두솔루션) is a Seoul-headquartered, privately-held engineering software distributor and consulting firm founded in 2004, operating primarily in the South Korean market with 11–50 employees. The company holds the exclusive Korean distribution rights for GstarCAD and related products from Xiamen StarNet (Gstarsoft), and serves as a Korean channel partner for PTC, distributing Creo Parametric and Creo Elements/Direct (3D CAD/CAM/CAE), Windchill (PLM), ThingWorx (IIoT), and Vuforia (AR). Modoo Solution also develops and resells its own proprietary MDDS (Drawing Distribution System, 도면배포시스템) for managing CAD drawing distribution with PLM/ERP integration, access controls, watermarking, and audit trails, as well as Effimod (photo-to-3D reverse engineering) and distributes third-party add-ons such as Dream Plus (dr림플러스) for GstarCAD automation.

The company monetizes through a multi-stream model: (i) perpetual and subscription software license resale (GstarCAD, Creo, Windchill) priced competitively against AutoCAD, supported by promotional bundles; (ii) long-cycle PLM implementation, MDDS customization, and design automation consulting projects for enterprise manufacturers; (iii) CAD/3D training delivered at its Seoul-based education center at KRW 150,000 per day; and (iv) bundled maintenance and phone-based technical support. Customer base skews enterprise, with named accounts including Hyundai Elevator, Samsung Electronics, Otis Elevator Korea, TK Elevator (Thyssenkrupp), Wonik IPS/Holdings, SGS Korea, and the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, alongside a long tail of SMB GstarCAD buyers served via the gstarcad.co.kr e-commerce storefront and a domestic reseller channel.

Modoo Solution operates a vertically-segmented go-to-market across manufacturing, construction/civil engineering, and smart factory verticals, driving demand through major trade shows (SIMTOS, HVAC KOREA, SMATEC, AMXPO, ROTREX), an annual GstarCAD Partner Kickoff, technical content marketing, and a free online CAD education portal. Reported market signals indicate GstarCAD now commands 20% of the Korean 2D CAD user base (up from 18.45% in 2025), Modoo Solution's customer satisfaction is 3.96/5.0 (vs 3.69 industry average), and AI design demand from Korean CAD users rose to 42.88% (from 27.57%) in 2026.

Others

• ANSYS: ANSYS provides engineering simulation (FEA, CFD, electromagnetics) with a Korean presence. It is an adjacent/complementary technology provider whose simulation workflows are typically consumed alongside CAD/PLM tools and is a natural partner-or-substitute consideration for Modoo's PTC Creo Simulate footprint.
• Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence: Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division provides CAD/CAM, metrology, and manufacturing software with Korean operations. It is an adjacent industrial-software ecosystem participant that competes for digital-manufacturing budgets alongside Modoo's CAD/PLM/IoT/AR bundle.

Direct peers

• Bistel: Bistel is a Korean PLM/MES/engineering-IT solutions provider that implements Windchill, Teamcenter, and CAD automation for Korean manufacturers. It directly competes with Modoo Solution for the same enterprise PLM implementation and consulting engagements at Korean industrial customers.
• ZWSOFT: ZWSOFT develops ZWCAD, the leading China-based alternative 2D CAD platform that competes head-to-head with GstarCAD in Korea and globally. As a competing low-cost DWG-compatible CAD vendor, ZWSOFT is the most direct product-level competitor to Modoo Solution's primary distributed line.
• Intgraf (CADian): Intgraf develops and distributes CADian, a Korean DWG-compatible alternative 2D CAD product. As a domestic Korean alt-CAD vendor with channel presence, CADian competes with GstarCAD in Modoo Solution's home market on price-sensitive SMB and enterprise seats.
• Bricsys: Bricsys develops BricsCAD, a DWG-native 2D/3D CAD platform competing with GstarCAD, ZWCAD, and Bricsys-shaped alternatives in the global alt-CAD segment. It is a direct alternative-CAD peer whose product overlaps the core of Modoo Solution's GstarCAD distribution franchise.

Broad incumbents

• PTC: PTC is the upstream vendor of Creo, Windchill, ThingWorx, and Vuforia that Modoo distributes in Korea. PTC operates its own direct sales motion in Korea, and any change in PTC's go-to-market (channel vs. direct) directly affects Modoo's positioning and economics.
• Siemens Digital Industries Software Korea: Siemens DI Software sells NX CAD, Solid Edge, and Teamcenter PLM with a direct Korean presence. It competes with Modoo's PTC portfolio for end-to-end CAD/PLM/MES deals in the Korean discrete-manufacturing segment.
• Autodesk Korea: Autodesk sells AutoCAD, Inventor, and Fusion 360 directly and via Korean channels. AutoCAD holds 69.1% usage among Korean CAD users and is the dominant incumbent that Modoo's GstarCAD franchise is priced and positioned to displace.
• Dassault Systèmes Korea: Dassault Systèmes offers SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, and the ENOVIA PLM platform with a direct Korean presence. It is a broad incumbent competing with Modoo's PTC Creo and Windchill offerings for enterprise design and PLM budgets at large Korean manufacturers.
