Luz Basan Named Top Sales Performer in CEA | SOLIDWORKS Philippines

Cadcentric Solutions is proud to share that Luz Basan has been recognized as Top Sales Performer in the CEA region during the SOLIDWORKS Sales Kickoff 2026.
This recognition reflects her journey from starting during the most uncertain time in recent history to becoming one of the region’s top-performing professionals helping companies adopt SOLIDWORKS, DraftSight, and engineering design solutions for manufacturing companies in the Philippines.
Her story is not only about sales performance but also about growth, resilience, and supporting engineers as they improve their product design and manufacturing workflows using modern CAD technologies.


Starting a Sales Career During the Pandemic
Luz joined Cadcentric during the COVID-19 pandemic, when face-to-face meetings were nearly impossible and companies were still adjusting to remote work and virtual engagements.
For someone starting a career in sales—especially in the engineering and manufacturing software industry—this was a challenging environment.
Despite the uncertainty, Luz began supporting the team through inside sales, helping engage customers remotely and learning how engineering software solutions like SOLIDWORKS and DraftSight support product development and manufacturing processes.


Learning the CAD and Engineering Software Ecosystem
As she gained experience, Luz transitioned into a junior sales role and began handling opportunities involving DraftSight, a professional 2D CAD drafting software widely used by engineers and manufacturing companies.
DraftSight allows companies to create and manage technical drawings, layouts, and manufacturing documentation, making it an essential tool for many engineering teams.
Through these opportunities, Luz built her understanding of CAD tools used in manufacturing workflows.
Over time she also began supporting opportunities involving SOLIDWORKS, one of the world’s most widely used 3D CAD platforms for product design and engineering.
She later handled parts of Cadcentric’s existing customer base, supporting subscription renewals and helping customers continue using their SOLIDWORKS solutions effectively. This experience gave her deeper insight into how the SOLIDWORKS ecosystem supports engineers throughout the entire product development cycle.


Supporting Manufacturing Companies in the Philippines
Today, Luz works closely with manufacturing companies across the Philippines, helping them explore engineering technologies that improve design and production processes.
She supports customers looking to adopt solutions such as:

• SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD for product design
• DraftSight for professional 2D drafting
• Engineering software that improves product development and manufacturing readiness

By helping engineers understand how modern CAD tools support innovation, Luz plays a role in enabling companies to design better products and bring them to market faster.


From Inside Sales to Regional Recognition
Over the years, Luz continued learning, improving, and growing within the organization.
Her journey—from inside sales to a full sales professional supporting engineering and manufacturing customers—demonstrates how persistence and continuous learning can lead to meaningful results.
Being recognized as Top Sales Performer in the CEA region is an important milestone not only for Luz but also for Cadcentric and the growing community of engineers and manufacturing companies using SOLIDWORKS in the Philippines.


Looking Ahead
As more companies embrace digital product development, CAD software, and engineering innovation, trusted advisors who understand both technology and customer needs become increasingly valuable.
Luz’s journey reflects the importance of commitment, resilience, and genuine care for customers.
The Cadcentric team is proud to see her recognized on the regional stage and looks forward to her continued contributions in helping engineers and manufacturing companies across the Philippines succeed with SOLIDWORKS and engineering design technologies.
