Be.Smart Connector

for Autodesk Forma and Bluebeam Now Available in Australia and New Zealand 

30 April 2026

ARKANCE, a global leader in technology and services for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) today announced the commercial launch of the Be.Smart® Connector in Australia and New Zealand 

Following the successful launch in the United States in autumn 2025 and the recent expansion into EMEA, ARKANCE is continuing its global launch by bringing the solution to AEC teams across Australia and New Zealand. 

The cloud-based Be.Smart Connector links Autodesk® Forma (previously known as Autodesk Construction Cloud) and Bluebeam® Studio to support more connected, efficient collaboration. By bridging the two platforms, it helps project teams streamline PDF-based workflows, reduce manual handoffs, and ensure stakeholders are working from the latest project information. 

For AEC professionals working across multiple platforms, disconnected systems and manual file handling have long created inefficiencies and increased the risk of versioning errors. The Be.Smart Connector addresses these challenges by eliminating repetitive steps such as exporting, uploading, and reconciling PDFs between Autodesk Forma and Bluebeam Studio.  

One of the most valuable aspects of the Be.Smart Connector is its automation and scheduling capability, which helps teams reduce manual effort and maintain more consistent workflows across platforms. By automating repetitive file transfer steps, project teams can save time, improve coordination, and keep information aligned throughout the review process. 

Seamless collaboration across tools is no longer optional, it’s essential. With the Be.Smart Connector, we are not only addressing long-standing customer pain points around data silos and manual file transfers but also raising the standard for interoperability.

Autodesk believes customers achieve the greatest results when technology partners work together

For customers in Australia and New Zealand, the Be.Smart Connector release marks an important step toward more connected project delivery. As AEC teams continue to manage growing complexity across platforms, disciplines, and stakeholders, integrated workflows are becoming essential for maintaining speed, quality, and alignment across the project lifecycle 

Across Australia and New Zealand, project teams are dealing with disconnected platforms and workflows. Our customers don’t operate in a single platform, and neither do we. This launch reinforces ARKANCE as the partner of choice for organizations that need their technology ecosystem to work as one. By connecting Autodesk Forma and Bluebeam, we’re helping teams eliminate inefficiencies and take control of their project workflows end-to-end.

Grant Bryce, Managing Director ARKANCE ANZ

The Be.Smart Connector demonstrates the value of collaboration by bringing Autodesk Forma and Bluebeam into a connected workflow. With ARKANCE leading this innovation, project teams can reduce inefficiencies, strengthen collaboration, and accelerate delivery. 

With this release, ARKANCE continues to expand access to solutions that help AEC professionals work smarter, collaborate better, and deliver projects with greater confidence. The launch in Australia and New Zealand is another milestone in the global growth of the Be.Smart Connector and in ARKANCE’s commitment to interoperability across the built environment. 

Building on this momentum, ARKANCE is reinforcing its leadership in innovation and interoperability by developing technologies that connect platforms, data, and people across the project lifecycle.  

With more than 40,000 customers worldwide and one of the largest professional services teams, ARKANCE continues to deliver solutions that connect platforms, data and people across the project lifecycle, helping AEC professionals work smarter, collaborate better and deliver projects with greater confidence.
