Managed engineering data across product development and construction — implemented, customised, and integrated.
Neilsoft provides specialized services for PLM Customization and Data Migration, helping clients to overcome the challenges that arise due to diversification in adopted technologies, upgraded PLM systems or induction of a new PLM system. We develop tools to migrate and map legacy data between different PLM systems effectively & smoothly without affecting the end users.
Autodesk Vault manages CAD and engineering data — versions, revisions, BOMs, and change — as a controlled product data management (PDM) system, tightly integrated with Inventor, AutoCAD, and other authoring tools.
Autodesk Fusion Manage is a cloud product lifecycle management (PLM) system. It handles BOM management, engineering change, new product introduction, quality, and supplier processes through configurable workspaces and workflows, and connects to Vault through Vault Gateway to link PDM and PLM.
Autodesk Construction Cloud, rebranded as Autodesk Forma in March 2026, is the common data environment for construction and AECO. It brings document management (now Forma Data Management), coordination, and field workflows onto one platform. Renamed products include Autodesk Docs → Forma Data Management and Autodesk Build → Forma Build.
Neilsoft's capabilities
Implementation and Configuration
Standing up Vault, Fusion Manage, and Forma to match how an organisation actually works.
Customisation and Extension
Vault jobs and .NET add-ins, Fusion Manage scripting and workspace configuration, and custom logic for change, release, and approval.
Data Migration
Moving legacy PDM/PLM data into Vault or Fusion Manage with clean metadata mapping, deduplication, and validated CAD / non-CAD relationships.
PDM–PLM–ERP Integration
Connecting Vault and Fusion Manage to each other and to ERP, so BOMs and change data flow without re-entry.
Construction Data Setup
Configuring Forma document control, coordination, and project templates for AEC and plant delivery.
Applications in engineering
PDM Rollout
Controlled data management for teams in Inventor, AutoCAD, and mixed-CAD environments.
Enterprise PLM
BOM, change, and quality across engineering and manufacturing.
Migration and Consolidation
Legacy systems moved onto a single, current platform.
Change Management
Engineering change connected to ERP release and procurement.
Common Data Environment
Document control and coordination for construction projects.
Model Coordination
Issue tracking across design and construction teams.
Case Studies
Neilsoft supported a Leading Oil & Gas Industry related Technology Provider with an Enterprise Level Solution for SAP-AUTODESK Vault Integration including its Global Deployment and Rollout. The project involved synchronizing BOM and Part Numbers directly from Inventor with SAP BOM, Material Master and DIR through Vault. The Data Set involved in the project is accessed by around 3500 Users working in over 20 Countries, with a data size of approximately 600 GB made up of around 5 Million Files.
Neilsoft supported a Leading Supplier of Engineering IT Systems for the Process, Energy and Marine Industries, to help with the Real-time Integration Process of the Client’s Plant Design Solution with AutoCAD. The Client had developed an Industry Leading Product for Plant Design Management, with extensive Automation Capabilities and a one-of- kind Drafting Module which could be used for Generating Production Drawings. The Client wanted to integrate this PDM Solution with AutoCAD, so that the Drafting Features of AutoCAD could be leveraged within its own PDM Solution Ecosystem.
