News Summary
Newforma has established a channel partnership with TD SYNNEX’s Datech to expand distribution of its Konekt platform and new Info Track module. The agreement names the distributor as an official channel, enabling resellers across North America, Europe and the Middle East to list and deploy the cloud-hosted tools immediately. Konekt centralizes drawings, models, RFIs and contract changes, while Info Track consolidates conversations, files, tasks and decisions.

New channel deal expands global distribution of AECO project software
A new channel partnership will immediately broaden access to a project and information management platform for the architecture, engineering, construction and owner sector. The agreement names a global IT distributor and its specialized design software unit as the official distributor for the platform, making the cloud-based suite available through an established reseller network across North America, Europe and the Middle East.
Key facts up front
- The partnership establishes the distributor as an official channel for the AECO software suite, including a recently launched module for tracking project conversations and decisions.
- Availability through the distributor’s reseller network is effective immediately.
- The platform is promoted as a cloud-first solution meant to centralize project information such as drawings, models, RFIs, submittals and contract changes.
What the agreement does
Under the agreement, the distributor will add the software portfolio to its catalog and make it available to partners and customers through its regional operations and reseller ecosystem. The move is positioned to give design and construction firms easier access to cloud collaboration tools by using the distributor’s digital channels and partner programs.
Products and features
The platform’s core offering is an intuitive, cloud-based project information system. A recently launched module, described as a centralized tracker for project conversations, files, tasks and decisions, is part of the package. The tools are designed to reduce manual effort, accelerate team onboarding, document knowledge and help distributed, multidisciplinary teams collaborate from different locations.
In product terms the suite aims to:
- Centralize access to drawings, models, RFIs, submittals and contract changes.
- Streamline communication and reduce rework risk by ensuring teams have consistent, timely access to project data.
- Reduce manual tracking with a dedicated module that collects project conversations and decisions in one place.
Who’s involved
The software company has operated for more than two decades and reports large-scale adoption metrics across millions of projects and several million users. The distributor operates globally, supporting an extensive portfolio of IT products and services through thousands of vendor relationships and a multi‑thousand-employee workforce. The distributor’s specialized design software business focuses on design, digital twin and visualization solutions and provides enablement, automation and lifecycle support programs for resale partners.
Why it matters
For AECO firms, the chief impact will be easier procurement and wider reseller support for a cloud-hosted project information platform. The distributor’s digital distribution and partner enablement programs aim to help resellers manage customer lifecycle activities such as adoption, expansion and renewals. The partnership therefore targets both faster adoption by end users and deeper post-sale support by resellers.
Market context and investor notes
Observer commentary included with the announcement notes that while the deal extends the distributor’s exposure to cloud and digital transformation trends in built environment software, its near-term effect on overall revenue and gross margins is expected to be limited. Analysts emphasize that longer-term returns depend on recurring cloud uptake and the distributor’s ability to convert expanded catalog access into sustained demand across resellers and enterprise customers.
