Digitally transform your designs.

We build CAD automation, cloud solutions, and analytics that help design teams collaborate better, ship faster, and cut costs.

What we do

Tools that make design teams faster.

From custom CAD plugins to cloud-native analytics, we build the bridge between your design environment and modern web technology.

⚙️

CAD Automation

Custom add-ins, scripts, and workflow automation for AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, and more — built on 40+ years of combined CAD expertise.

📊

Zoeked™ CAD Analytics

Our trademarked middleware platform that connects CAD systems to the cloud, giving you real-time visibility into how your team actually works.

☁️

Cloud Solutions

Autodesk Forge, BIM 360, AWS, and Onshape integrations that take your design data out of silos and into the systems that drive your business.

🏗️

Industry Expertise

Our substation design software was acquired by Autodesk in 2016. We bring that same domain depth to every project we take on.

🤖

AI & ML Workflows

We build algorithms and AI frameworks that capture institutional CAD knowledge — turning tribal know-how into automated intelligence.

🔗

Custom Integrations

Salesforce, Forge, internal tooling, custom dashboards — we connect the systems your design team and business actually use.

Community Support

Proudly supporting the SDS Consortium.

The Substation Design Solutions Industry Consortium (SDSIC) is a community of utility design professionals who share knowledge, best practices, and real-world experience with substation design tools.

Automationforce founded the consortium nine years ago and continues to host, build, and maintain its website at no cost — because the best design tools come from listening to the people who use them every day.

Our story

15+ years of design transformation.

Automationforce started as a small team obsessed with design automation. Over 15 years we grew into a force (pun intended) for everything CAD — building two substation design products that became the top in North America, both later acquired by Autodesk in 2016.

Along the way we learned one thing that shaped everything we do: listen to the customer. That belief is why we helped start the SDS Consortium, and it's why we keep building tools that solve problems Autodesk's off-the-shelf software can't.

Today, our flagship platform Zoeked is a CAD analytics middleware that connects your design environment to the cloud. We've spent eight years training algorithms and AI frameworks on our founders' combined 40 years of CAD experience — that's the secret sauce.

2010 — Founded

Started with a focus on CAD design automation for utilities and engineering teams.

2013 — SDS Consortium

Continued supporting the community we founded — now 1,600+ members strong.

2016 — Acquisition

Our substation design software was acquired by Autodesk and integrated into their portfolio.

Today — Zoeked™

CAD analytics platform connecting design systems to the cloud, powered by years of AI training.
