“M4 was the only package that offered the full variety of tools within a single software suite and the ability to design our own parametric catalog components. It is easy to manage and administrate without any special memory requirements. Finally, CAD Schroer values long-term relationships as much as we do.”
Marcello Zanella, Layout Manager at Mariani
“CAD Schroer’s software is a key project enabler, and the migration from MEDUSA NG to M4 has put us in a strong position for further growth in a buoyant market place. We have benefited immensely from CAD Schroer’s dedication to product innovation, and the unremitting personal commitment of its team of technical consultants during and beyond the upgrade process.”
Mr Richard Schilliger, responsible for PLM strategy at Burckhardt Compression
“No other plant design product can meet our demands like M4. Its reliability, flexibility, speed, ease of use, compatibility with third party systems, and ability to deliver data for our downstream QA and financial control processes is a huge benefit to our business.”
Mike Lyon, Project Director, Christ Kennicott Water Technology (now Ovivo)
“Thanks to M4 we have gained access to new design possibilities and can now design our compressors ever more precisely. In addition, our customers benefit from a more accurate overview of the installation layout and can quickly provide us with feedback. With the help of M4, design errors and mistakes have become an absolute rarity for us, and our design times have also greatly reduced. This led to significant time and cost savings for the company.”
Mario Corcione, designer at CO-REF Srl.

Yes, because the software supports network licenses as well as single-user licenses. These are managed by a license service, which is included in our installation, and made available in the network. Then the software can be used by everyone in the network. Even the software itself can be installed on a network drive and thus made available company-wide.
Software maintenance includes online support and a German hotline. Also, we further develop the software for you and you get the updates provided by us. You will receive these and many other downloads in our customer portal. Further information can be found on our maintenance page.
Of course you can also use the software without our maintenance. However, you will not benefit from the many advantages.
