Strong ability to customize, but require improvements to their BOM configuration

In the next release, I would like to see improvements to their BOM configuration. Aras would also benefit from better integration with other systems. The solution also needs better capabilities of the features it has. I am looking for it to have modeling, project planning, and MES capabilities as well as a built-in CAD tool.

Has significantly improved 3D design workflows but support needs more consistency

As a reseller, I think the biggest advantage of Autodesk Fusion is its functionality, which is brilliant and offered at a really competitive price. Regarding the 360 simulation capability, it's very important for our customers, and it's important for customers to share that information with their suppliers and with customers.
