> “Just like you or I need to custom fit our own bike, so do our customers. We've used this tool consistently with our customers that have more specific requirements or higher-level requirements. We can now send that data to the customer in their own home, even have them log in and tell us what would work for them in a much more efficient manner that gives them the solution and the capability to truly use the bike how it's meant to be utilized.”

## Store and Revise

**Cloud Services provides you with online storage that’s purpose-built with CAD relationships and collaboration in mind**. You simply save your data to the cloud right from SOLIDWORKS Design. If you need to work with other designers, you can lock designs to ensure no one overwrites your work, easily manage revisions, and create detailed markups with redline, measurements, and annotations. Watch these videos to learn how Bowhead uses the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform to store and revise its data, then explore how you can easily integrate online storage and revision management into your workflows.

> “Prior to using the **3D**EXPERIENCE platform, Revision Control was basically renaming your part file to be revision 1.11.2. There were instances where there was a final revision, then there was a FINAL final revision. So we were using computers, but it felt like we were using Stone Age technology just to manage revisions.”
