Discover Kenesto: The Cloud Solution for Engineers
Kenesto was founded to solve document and file management problems that traditional tools couldn’t — problems that look simple, but quietly waste time and money when left unsolved. Our cloud platform gives engineering and design teams one place to store, share, view, version, and collaborate on CAD and other documents, from anywhere.
Kenesto keeps distributed engineering teams working from the same current files, wherever they are.
PDM for the teams big PDM left behind
Most engineering teams are small. Traditional PDM was built for large companies with IT departments, servers and implementation budgets. We built Kenesto so a 5- or 50-person team gets the same control over its CAD data, in an afternoon, at the price of a shared drive.

Traditional file storage and sync tools weren’t built for CAD — leaving engineering teams with lost files, version conflicts, and no true single source of truth.
Kenesto’s cloud platform gives every team one authoritative copy of each file, with automatic locking, version history, and simple sharing built in.
Organizations simplify their document environment, reduce IT and process costs, and collaborate confidently from anywhere in the world.
Built to Solve a Problem Traditional Tools Couldn’t
Kenesto was founded on a simple idea: help customers solve document and file management problems that traditional methods couldn’t fix. These problems can look simple, but left unsolved, they quietly drain time, money, and productivity.
By utilizing Kenesto’s cloud platform, organizations of any size can simplify their document environment — reducing IT overhead and improving efficiency across the business.
For engineers and designers, that means a simple, powerful way to:
- Store and share CAD and other documents securely in the cloud
- View and update versions without losing track of changes
- Collaborate with anyone, anywhere — including outside suppliers
- Trust that current files won’t be inadvertently overwritten or overridden
Kenesto is a growing team of passionate people dedicated to giving customers, partners, and vendors the very best solution and service possible.
