What Do You Do When Your Car Breaks Down?
Imagine you’re on a long drive. You’re on a deadline, and you need to get to your destination on time.
Then—bang—your car suddenly breaks down.
You pull over and reach for your phone to call for help. But then it hits you…
❌ You didn’t renew your breakdown cover.
Now what?
You can either:
- Pay a call-out fee for an immediate rescue
- Try to fix it yourself (if you even know how)
- Wait and hope it resolves itself
None of these are great options when time is critical.
If you had breakdown cover with the AA, RAC, or Green Flag, help would be on its way, and you’d be back on the road in no time.
Now, replace your car with BricsCAD.
What Happens When Your Software Breaks Down?
You sit down, open BricsCAD, and… something isn’t working.
Maybe it won’t start. Maybe a command isn’t responding. Maybe a file won’t open.
You try restarting. You search online for a fix. Minutes turn into hours—and before you know it, you’ve lost an entire workday.
How much has that downtime just cost you?
The reality is, software issues happen—just like cars break down. The real question is: are you covered when it happens?
Recently, a customer contacted us because their software wouldn’t start. We always want to help everyone—that’s the truth—but they didn’t have maintenance. As much as we wanted to assist, it wouldn’t have been fair to our paying customers who rely on us for dedicated support. Just like a breakdown service can’t tow your car for free if you’re not a member, we can’t provide support without an active maintenance plan.
BricsCAD Maintenance: Your Breakdown Cover for CAD Work
Just like vehicle breakdown cover, BricsCAD Maintenance ensures that when something goes wrong, you get the help you need—fast.
Without maintenance, your options are limited:
❌ No direct technical support
❌ No fixes or updates
❌ Searching online for a solution—Bricsys offers excellent free learning resources and YouTube tutorials, but this takes time, and time is money
- The issue could be so specific that you never find the answer online
With maintenance, you have:
✅ Expert support when you need it – No more wasting time searching for fixes
✅ Software updates & bug fixes – Prevent issues before they happen
✅ Peace of mind – Knowing you’re covered if something goes wrong
✅ Direct access to our team – We can help over the phone, with a TeamViewer session, or even create a quick instructional video to get you back up and running
A single day of downtime could cost more than a full year of maintenance.
What’s More Expensive—Maintenance or Downtime?
Next time you consider skipping Maintenance, ask yourself:
- ❓ How much time can I afford to lose?
- ❓ What’s the knock-on effect of downtime?
- Missed deadlines
- Frustrated staff
- Annoyed customers
- Disrupted workflows
- Unnecessary stress
If BricsCAD is essential to your business, then maintenance isn’t an expense—it’s an investment in keeping your work moving.
