RackCorp Hosted UFSConnect for Remote CAD Collaboration is intended for organisations where project files are large, shared, and commercially important.

The service focuses on the practical issues engineering teams face every day: slow remote access, conflicting changes, field access requirements, and the need to keep design data secure and available across multiple locations.

Why teams choose this solution

Large files over slow remote links

CAD and BIM files are often too large for legacy VPN-based access models, leading to delays when teams open, save, or review project data.

Conflicting edits and lost work

Generic sync tools do not provide the file-control discipline engineering teams need when multiple people work on the same drawing set.

Multi-site coordination pressure

When project teams span offices, contractors, and field staff, keeping everyone on the current design state becomes operationally difficult.

Core Capabilities

Remote CAD Collaboration

Native file locking

Automatically lock active files and show who is editing in real time so teams avoid duplicate work and conflicting saves.

Remote CAD Collaboration

Efficient large-file synchronisation

Transfer only the changed data wherever possible so engineering workflows stay practical even with large files and remote staff.

Remote CAD Collaboration

Multi-site synchronisation

Keep distributed offices aligned to the same project files with local performance optimisation and central operational control.

Remote CAD Collaboration

Offline and field access

Allow project teams to review and work with files when internet access is limited, then synchronise changes when connectivity returns.

Operational Outcomes

Better project discipline

Reduce the risk of engineers, designers, and site staff working from stale or conflicting copies.

Faster remote collaboration

Improve the day-to-day experience of opening, editing, and saving project files from outside the main office.

Protected engineering IP

Keep sensitive drawings and design data inside a managed hosted environment with stronger control and visibility.

Good Fit For

Architecture and BIM teams Construction and site delivery teams Manufacturing and design engineering Civil engineering and infrastructure projects
