PCCAD Group

What PCCAD Group does

PCCAD Group (Grupo PCCAD), founded in 1992 and headquartered in El Dorado, Panama, is a value-added reseller and authorized training center serving the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry across Latin America. The company distributes licensed software from more than a dozen major vendors, including Autodesk (AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D), Bentley Systems, Oracle (Primavera P6), Adobe, Esri, Bluebeam Revu, SketchUp, Chaos, CorelDRAW, CSI Software, RIB Presto, Transoft Solutions, Twinmotion, Microsoft 365, and Rhinoceros 3D, alongside specialized hardware such as MSI workstations and HP plotters. It also delivers instructor-led certification training and BIM/CAD consulting, including Scan-to-BIM services built around point cloud capture and Revit modeling. Its three core technology pillars are BIM methodology, CAD design, and project management software, with proprietary differentiators in BIM consulting, Point Cloud to BIM conversion accuracy, and CAD/BIM workflow optimization.

The business operates through three wholly owned legal entities — PC-CAD S.A. and Project Solutions and Services S.A. in Panama, and PC-CAD Project Solutions and Services S.A. in Costa Rica — and runs dedicated country websites and offices in Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, with additional market reach into Belize, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time software license resale, hardware sales, professional training and certification (course fees ranging from $149.99 for an Autodesk ACU exam to $595 for Oracle Primavera P6), and BIM/CAD consulting services. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a channel partner motion as an authorized training center and Certiport testing site. Customer segments are architecture firms, engineering consultancies, construction companies, project management professionals, and infrastructure operators; named customer logos are not disclosed. Compliance oversight sits with Compliance Officer Alejandra Paredes. No funding rounds, M&A, or public financial disclosures are available.
