Video highlights from day 1 at IHRSA. Thanks to all our partners in the fitness industry.

Ecdesign is now considered an industry standard in both the automotive aftermarket- and fitness industry. For example, in 2015 more than 2 million gym designs were created with Ecdesign in 115 countries. And now we have a close partnership with 60 leading manufacturers of commercial fitness equipment and more are joining fast.The success comes from all the added value Ecdesign brings to the entire sales process. Companies using Ecdesign will experience something we call the Ecdesign effect.

Our new 4.5 version (free upgrade for all active users) continue to receive amazing reviews, but we are only getting started. Over the next couple of months we will launch many new and ground breaking features in Ecdesign. We will have more information about the coming updates shortly.

Just recently we introduced the Ecdesign Academy e-learning site. Enroll in free online training courses and improve on our Ecdesign skills. The academy currently offers courses which cover everything from the basics to more advanced features.

We have today released new updates to our standard (generic) model library. This is one of many models updates that we plan to release in the coming week.s
