SolidWorks 2024 re-install

Windows 10 reinstalled and hence required a new SolidWorks 2024 installation. I was having problems with this and the support team [ especially James] came to the rescue.
Professional and excellent product knowledge throughout the process.
Would recommend the team and product to anyone considering SolidWorks.

Had a major problem with my SolidWorks. Stopped loading halfway through and froze.
With the help of the guys at the support desk at Visiativ Solution I am now back running again.
The whole experience showed me the vast technical knowledge of this programme the staff have.
Thanks guys.

Excellent Customer Service

Karl and Jack really went out of their way to help my small company get set up with the 2D and 3D software I need to run my business.

Extremely helpful and friendly advice, I can definitely recommend Visiativ as a reseller of both Solidworks and Draftsight!

Visiativ - very professional, and so easy to work with

Visiativ were recommended to me by a supplier, when my company was considering whom to instruct on claiming for R&D tax relief.

I had worked with an alternative company doing similar in the past, whom had performed OK for me twice previously; but I dreaded the process. It was long, arduous and time consuming, and I felt like I was doing all the work for someone else to take a cut, just for being ICAEW.

This didn't seen fair, so when I heard about Visiativ, I simply thought 'why not'.

I don't regret the decision at all. Their fees/terms were very fair (especially for a small but growing business), but what really set them apart was the ease of the process.

Rather than spending several hours' valuable time compiling and writing the necessary report, Visiativ took all of the effort out of this. They did so via simply conducting a Zoom call (less than 1 hour), and doing their own necessary research upon us and our industry to fill in any blanks.

I was dubious that they would hit the brief, what with our industry being quite so esoteric. How wrong I was - the report compiled hit the nail on the head, and quite astutely highlighted exactly what it was which would be necessary to support our successful claim.

All this left me to do was fill in the numbers, which is the comparatively easy part of the process. And even that is simplified by the pro-forma spreadsheet they provide to assist with this.

We have now submitted two successful claims with HMRC via Visiativ, and will be submitting a third shortly. I have little doubt it will be just as streamlined a process this third-time around.

All that is left to say is... highly recommended!

Empowering Startups with Expertise and Savings!

Working with Visiativ has been incredibly useful for our biotech start-up. Thanks to Tom Reeve's expert guidance, we now have the perfect software and hardware setup tailored to our needs. Not only did we receive top-notch solutions, but Tom's cost-saving recommendations also made a significant impact on our budget. The entire process was smooth, they clearly explained and outlined the options available to us, leaving no room for confusion. Visiativ has proven to be a reliable and trustworthy partner, and I highly recommend their services.

Excellent Training Courses and Support

Have worked with Visiativ (formerly Innova) for a number of years. Whenever I, or anyone else in the organisation, have needed support with anything SolidWorks related they have always been incredibly helpful.

Several colleagues and I have taken courses with their technical team, all of which have been very informative and curated to our needs.

They are the SolidWorks Experts. 5* Service.

We've worked with Innova Systems/Visiativ for the past 14 years. Sadly through external factors (unrelated to Innova) we were forced to move away from their outstanding service. We will be very sad to say goodbye. The expert team helped us solve many issues over the years, contributed to the growth of the business, and always went above and beyond the call of duty. We will miss working with you all and wish you all the best for the future. Thanks again, Kemtron/TE Braintree Engineering Team.

They were very polite and helpful, we received very good guidance and has given us the confidence to navigate the solidworks shortcuts and tools.

It has also been nice that they have kept in constant contact with us.
