Transcend’s flagship product, the Transcend Design Generator (TDG), is a cloud-hosted generative design platform that fully automates preliminary and conceptual engineering for water, wastewater, and electrical substation projects. TDG integrates process, mechanical, structural, electrical, civil, and architectural design disciplines and produces outputs such as 3D BIM models, carbon footprint estimates, equipment lists, and operating and capital expenditure calculations. The platform generates editable design documents native to Autodesk products including AutoCAD and Revit. Transcend sells its B2B SaaS to asset owners, engineering firms, and technology suppliers and already counts customers such as Arcadis, Black & Veatch, Brookfield Asset Management, Anglian Water, Xylem, and Veolia. In less than two years, designs produced with Transcend’s software have impacted over 100 million people across 65 countries. The company will use the new funding to accelerate its go-to-market strategy and advance its product roadmap to further establish market leadership in generative design for critical infrastructure. Transcend Software offers the Transcend Design Generator (TDG), a SaaS generative-design and engineering-automation platform for water and wastewater treatment projects. TDG is positioned as the market’s first fully integrated water treatment design platform and can assess CAPEX, OPEX, land footprint, carbon footprint, and other variables during preliminary engineering. Developed by leading experts in water and wastewater engineering, the platform has been used since 2013 to design over 7,500 treatment facilities. Transcend’s tools aim to streamline preliminary engineering, accelerate technology adoption, and reduce time and cost compared with manual methods. The company cites customers including United Utilities and Black & Veatch and says its software produces accurate, complete, and sustainable preliminary designs for EPCs, AECs, asset owners, and water technology OEMs. Transcend will use the proceeds from its recent financing to drive continued innovation across the water infrastructure market.
