Testimonials

At Velec Systems, every machine is unique - we're not into standardization. However, it's highly likely that we'll get there. Particularly if the company decides to outsource. In this case, every specification will have to be perfectly structured with defined plans. With SEE Electrical Expert's blocks, standard diagrams and other functionalities, we can easily implement effective standardization without losing performance. And let's not forget our training courses, which are always highly relevant! 

- Velec Systems, Mr Benjamin Fautrelle

The use of SEE Electrical Expert was the logical continuation of the evolution of the company. With the current challenges and climate problems, we had to double our workforce in the space of a few years to meet the demand for solutions capable of both:

  • Achieve specific objectives in terms of water quality
  • Reduce costs related to water consumption
  • Reduce the environmental footprint of our customers globally (water, energy and release of chemical substances, etc.).

From there, we could no longer be satisfied with a “basic” software, without any real evolution in terms of electrical project management. The use of SEE Electrical Expert has represented a positive turning point for the company, for its customers and for the environment since it gives us the ability to work on several important files at the same time. 

- Chemdoc Water Technologies, Mr Christophe Lemaître

We chose to switch to SEE Electrical Expert when we won the Merck laboratory contract. The reason? SEE Electrical Expert enables us to optimize file production, thanks to the automatic creation of folio recaps, terminal strips, material lists and automatic cross-references. In concrete terms, it's a software package that, if properly configured and used, enables us to carry out all these tasks quickly and without error. As far as getting to grips with the software is concerned, the design office team adopted it very well at the time. And the same goes for all newcomers to the design office. If a customer doesn't force us to use another software package, they all opt for SEE Electrical Expert.

- Equans Ineo, Mr Régis Pariselle
