CAD Journey & Bentley Systems: Moving Infrastructure Forward
At CAD Journey we’ve always believed that success comes from strong partnerships, whether that’s with our customers, vendors, or with Bentley Systems. Our partnership with Bentley allows us to focus on one thing above all else, making life easier for engineers, designers, and firms who rely on Bentley tools every day.
In the words of our CEO, Daniel Cronin, “collaboration starts with trust” and this is evident in our day-to-day with Bentley, building on the existing transparency, honest conversations, and the trust that we all have the end-users best interest in mind.
Bentley brings the world-class software, and CAD Journey brings personalization, agility, and a deep understanding of what our end-users need every day.
As a smaller team, CAD Journey brings an adaptability that is essential when working with other small to medium sized businesses. From navigating licensing, training, deployment and complex project requirements, our team ensures that end-users have more time to do their actual job.
Eliminating Software Adoption Stresses
One of CAD Journey’s biggest goals is to make Bentley adoption sooth, simple, and stress free.
Take one of our civil engineering clients in Georgia. They’ve been growing fast and winning work across several state DOTs, each with their own standards inside OpenRoads Designer. That’s a lot to manage on top of managing a quickly scaling team.
So we stepped in to:
- Build customer workspace configurations tailored to each department of transportation
- Train entry-level civil engineers to help them grow into strong OpenRoads power users
- Work with their team to streamline workflows as they grow
The impact?
Less re-work. More confidence. Huge time and cost savings.
Most importantly though, they’re now equipped to continue scaling without burning out their staff.
This is the kind of hands on support that defines CAD Journey – no matter how we grow, we never want to lose that personal touch.
Global Ambitions
After 10 years inside the Bentley world Danel built CAD Journey to be the channel partner he saw a need for– one focused on small and mid-sized architecture, construction, and engineering firms who needed hands on support and guidance.
Today we help clients around the world with:
- Licensing clarity
- Hands on training
- Technical support
- Workflow optimization
- Strategic planning
2025 was a big year for us, we expanded outside of the United States and Canada into the UK and Ireland, with our sights now set on continued growth throughout Europe. But no matter how large we grow our focus remains the same:
Helping engineering professionals deliver high-quality infrastructure projects, embrace digital transformation and feel supported at every step of their CAD journey.
