What Aboni Tech does

Aboni Tech, LLC is a privately held engineering automation and software integration firm founded in 2021 and headquartered in Vancouver, Washington. The company develops custom automation software and integration solutions for manufacturing firms that rely on Autodesk Inventor and Solidworks for product design, with the stated objective of connecting CAD environments to enterprise systems such as ERP and MES. Core technical capabilities include Inventor add-in development using .NET 8, Solidworks automation via macros, design tables, equations and global variables, CAD-to-ERP data synchronization, and AI-assisted code generation using Cursor to accelerate delivery.

The firm's commercial model is project-based professional services rather than product licensing or subscriptions. Pricing is quote-based with published budget tiers of $25K-$50K, $50K-$100K, $100K-$150K, and $150K+, and engagements are typically multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales initiated through the company's website contact form, targeting engineering managers and IT leaders at manufacturing companies in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Named customers include Tidland (industrial equipment, ETO) and Maxcess; case studies reference an unnamed HVAC manufacturer and an unnamed Tier 1 automotive supplier.

Aboni Tech operates as a small, bootstrapped firm with 1-10 employees, a single office in Vancouver, WA, and no disclosed external funding. Distribution is entirely direct, with no channel partners, marketplace listings, or self-service product. Marketing relies on technical blog content, LinkedIn, Instagram, GitHub, and an email newsletter to establish thought leadership in CAD automation, .NET 8 migration, and AI-assisted engineering workflows. The company is legally organized as a Washington State LLC.

Core offering

Aboni Tech develops custom engineering automation and integration software that connects CAD environments (Autodesk Inventor and Solidworks) to enterprise business systems such as ERP and MES. The company builds bespoke add-ins, macros, and data pipelines that automate repetitive design tasks, synchronize BOM and inventory data, and eliminate manual data entry between engineering and production. Engagements are sold as custom project-based services rather than packaged products.

Product overview

Aboni Tech is an engineering automation and software integration company offering a portfolio of services centered on connecting CAD systems (Autodesk Inventor and Solidworks) to business systems. Their core offerings include Engineering Automation using Autodesk Inventor and Solidworks, Process Optimization to connect departments, Custom Integrations for system connectivity, and Technical Consulting. The company specializes in CAD-to-ERP integration to eliminate manual data entry and create data consistency from design to production. They provide .NET 8 Inventor Add-in Development leveraging modern frameworks and AI-assisted tools, Solidworks Automation covering macros, custom APIs, and design tables, and Legacy Migration Services for transitioning from .NET Framework to .NET 8. Their service model combines custom development with workflow optimization to help manufacturers reduce errors and improve throughput.

Emerging players

• CADENAS: CADENAS focuses on CAD parts data, engineering data, and component management; it overlaps with Aboni's PIM/BOM and CAD-data standardization work for discrete manufacturers.
• OpenBOM: OpenBOM delivers cloud-native BOM and engineering data management for SolidWorks/Inventor users—a more productized, partial alternative to Aboni's bespoke CAD-to-ERP integration services.

Others

• Ansys: Ansys is an engineering simulation incumbent whose CAD-integrated simulation tools and partner ecosystem address adjacent engineering-productivity pain points for the same manufacturing buyers Aboni serves.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Digital Industries Software: Siemens offers NX, Solid Edge, and Teamcenter PLM plus digital-industry integrations, competing directly with Aboni in CAD-driven engineering automation, BOM/PLM data flows, and shop-floor connectivity.
• PTC: PTC (Creo, Windchill PLM, ThingWorx) competes for CAD/PLM/MES integration budgets in discrete manufacturing—the same buyers Aboni targets when connecting CAD to enterprise systems.
• Autodesk: Autodesk is the maker of Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360; it is simultaneously Aboni's primary development platform and a broad incumbent that bundles automation, PLM-like, and integration capabilities that overlap with Aboni's custom CAD-to-ERP services.
• Infor: Infor provides industry-specific ERP (including for industrial and ETO manufacturers) with CAD/PLM integration touchpoints; it is an incumbent alternative to Aboni's CAD-to-ERP integration practice.

Direct peers

• Configit: Configit sells product configuration SaaS used by industrial manufacturers; its configuration engine overlaps with Aboni's design-table, BOM, and CAD-automation integration work for complex discrete products.
• Tacton: Tacton provides product configuration and CPQ software for manufacturers, targeting the same 'configure-price-engineer to production' workflow that Aboni's CAD-to-ERP integration addresses for discrete manufacturers.
• DriveWorks: DriveWorks is a design automation and configurator product built natively on SolidWorks (explicitly named in Aboni's own blog), making it the closest direct competitor for Solidworks-driven engineering automation and CAD-to-ERP projects.
