Partners are a critical part of the success and growth journey of Bricsys. Along with so many other companies, we have faced a challenging environment during the global pandemic. Now we are looking forward in a new and changing business environment. Throughout all of this, and now looking down the track, we stand with and support our partners, realizing mutual success through ongoing growth.
Since 2017 Bricsys has quadrupled in size, and our partners have grown their businesses exponentially together with us.
Have you ever wondered what becoming a Bricsys reseller could look like for you? What benefits would you get, where would you fit within the Bricsys ecosystem, and how would we support you to success? In this blog post, we answer these questions and introduce you to our award-winning premium and elite partners.
Introduction to Bricsys
Bricsys has been developing BricsCAD since 2002. Around the world, customers looking for a better CAD solution know that the BricsCAD platform is the best alternative. Today, our reseller channel spans over 80 countries and there are more than 1500 Bricsys registered application developers worldwide. BricsCAD is recognised as a reliable and professional CAD solution that uses the industry standard DWG file format.
Bricsys is committed to the success of our customers, so it’s important to provide industry-leading technical support and an Application Programming Interface (API) that supports development of hundreds of third-party applications.
For customers seeking a better CAD solution, BricsCAD is the best option.
We offer our software at a very competitive price, with a variety of licensing options - promoted and sold in two ways, directly via our online store, and through our global network of partners. There are two main partner types at Bricsys: Resellers and Solution Partners.
How does the Bricsys Partner Program work?
Our Resellers are focused on promoting and selling BricsCAD in a specific region or country. They are required to have CAD sales experience and maintain a minimum number of technical experts as part of their staffing requirements. We work closely with our resellers, regularly developing business plans together to ensure customer focus and sales success. Bricsys is proud to have excellent and long-lasting business relationships with its resellers; based on loyalty, transparency, and trust.
The Bricsys Partner Program provides a rewards-based path to growth through a tiered program:
Resellers who are highly engaged, provide value added services to their customers and grow their BricsCAD sales to a minimum threshold, can achieve ‘Premium’ status. Premium status partners are eligible for additional financial benefits and development funds.
The ‘Elite’ tier is achieved by ‘best in class’ partners who demonstrate the highest level of performance and engagement in the BricsCAD business. They have a high level of investment in technical expertise and sales capacity and capability. Elite tier partners enjoy eligibility for top financial rewards and development funds.
By joining the Bricsys Reseller network, you’ll offer your customers innovative CAD products that are easy to use, and easy to own. Not only this, but you’ll also get to partner with a dynamic organization that offers your customers real choice. At Bricsys, we believe in developing a relationship that cares about both you and your customer’s business success.
Reseller VS Solution Partner
Solution partners (registered application developers) are focused on leveraging BricsCAD together with their application(s). Bricsys supports and encourages application development, ensuring our customers have a wide variety of solutions to address their unique business needs. This support is free of charge, and it includes help with developing and porting applications to BricsCAD, as well as support with promoting and selling applications, locally or internationally.
Applications already running on other CAD solutions can be easily ported to run on BricsCAD. Solution partners may apply to expand their business by also becoming a Bricsys Reseller, or work together with Bricsys to promote their application running on BricsCAD. Why join the Bricsys Developer Collective? Imagine your application as a single code stream that builds on both BricsCAD and AutoCAD®. Our BRX API is compatible to the ARX API and you can get the toolkit for free.

Additionally, Bricsys hosts Partner Briefings and an international conference each year. At this event, we’ll typically introduce the latest version of BricsCAD, deliver client and application developer presentations, and share our strategy for the next year. All reseller and application developer personnel are invited to attend this conference. It is a great opportunity to meet the Bricsys team in person and to network with other resellers and application developers from around the world. It promises to a valuable opportunity for partners each year, so don’t miss out!
