Success Story
Aquila Corp is a leading distributor of premium rescue equipment to fire services, emergency services, police and other industries across Africa. Their extensive ranges of products have been carefully sourced from reputable and trusted manufacturers, both local and international.
They have a well-established reputation for premium service and support. They are well known for matching premium products to specific client applications with all the brands they represent.
In order to meet their clients new and ever changing needs, they however found themselves needing to not only distribute products but to also DESIGN and MANUFACTURE their own truly South African products for their Customers.
In order to achieve their goal, Aquila Corp needed most efficient outcomes for both CAD and CAM workflows within their environment, so that they could have a truly effective Design to Manufacture approach within their organisation.
Since Aquila Corp only partners with World Leading Brands, they knew that Autodesk was the correct solution for their needs.
Aquila Corp engaged with Modena OneSolve for a solution, who with their team of experts were able to guide Aquila Corp in the right direction to deliver the outcomes on both CAD and CAM that they needed in the most efficient way.
The solution to their needs was Autodesk Fusion 360 with specific focus on the machining element.
The result is that Aquila Corp now have a very cost effective an efficient tool that allows them to Design and Manufacture products for their clients that they were not able to do before. Since Aquila Corp is now Manufacturing their own products in addition to supplying other brands, they have seen a positive impact on their profitability.
The Modena OneSolve Team were onsite to assist Aquila Corp in getting everything setup as well as by delivering customised onsite Machining training for their users.
Aquila Corp looks forward to continuing the relationship with Modena OneSolve and would recommend them as a trusted business partner for all Autodesk solutions and implementation thereof.

Traditional methods of file sharing were found inefficient and lacking for a team that needed to communicate a lot of information at a high frequency.
From 2D AutoCAD to Intelligent iLogic-driven 3D Inventor Designs
Palian was using 2D AutoCAD in a primarily 3D dominated field, struggling with collaboration between branches and the length of time it would take to make relatively small changes to designs. Getting drawings and quantities to the sales team for quotation purposes took longer than desired and a lot of manual user calculations and input was still needed, which increased the change of costly "human error" mistakes.
DRA Global takes on Project Delays with Innovative use of Technology
DRA Global had to overcome a delay of 25 days over deadline for their Sierra Leone Project, so they needed to find a way to get that time back to avoid running over with this project.
