Vertical-specific data sources
Construction-permit feeds, ENR project trackers, manufacturing capex announcements, and design-team hiring data — pulled into Clay and waterfall-enriched against your CRM.
A GTM data engine built for AEC, manufacturing, and design verticals
Construction starts, factory expansions, and product launches all leak into public data. Clay turns those signals into a daily list of accounts ready for Construction Cloud, Fusion, or AEC Collection.
How Clay maps to Autodesk's vertical-named-account motion
AEC and manufacturing buyers don't sit in standard B2B databases. They sit in construction-permit feeds, manufacturing-investment announcements, and engineering hiring patterns. Clay pulls all of it.
Named-account depth at TAM scale
Score every ENR Top 400 contractor, every aerospace OEM, every Tier-1 auto supplier on Autodesk-fit signals. The named-account list refreshes itself.
Headcount-light vertical ABM
Replace 20-person research benches with one Clay workspace. Forward Deployed Engineers and AEs get briefs on every named account — automatically.
Four plays we'd run with your team in week one
Each one maps to a real Autodesk motion — Construction Cloud expansion, Fusion + Vault land, AEC Collection upsell, and Bentley/PTC displacement.
Score every ENR Top 400 contractor on BIM 360 / ACC fit
Pull project starts from Dodge + ENR feeds. Layer Claygent research — recent BIM-coordinator hires, project-team size, current platform mix — to surface the 200 contractors most likely to expand on Construction Cloud this quarter.
3xEnrichment rate vs. ZoomInfo + Construction DB alone.
Trigger outreach on factory-expansion + capex announcements
New factory builds, automation investments, and PLM-team hires all signal Fusion + Vault demand. Clay surfaces them within 24 hours, drafts a personalized opener, and routes to the right manufacturing AE.
<24hTime from capex signal to first touch.
Run Bentley + SolidWorks displacement plays on every renewal signal
Watch for competitive CAD/BIM users showing renewal-quarter pain — pricing complaints, tooling-team turnover, RFPs in procurement DBs. Clay surfaces them with current seat counts and a tailored migration estimate.
+38%Average meeting rate on competitor displacement plays.
Map AEC Collection + Construction Cloud expansion
Enrich every AutoCAD account with project-pipeline depth, BIM team headcount, and current Construction Cloud usage. Push prioritized expansion lists to your vertical AEs in real time.

Trusted by the GTM teams Autodesk wants to win
Vertical-named, signal-driven, AI-native GTM orgs already running on Clay.
“In my professional opinion, Clay has one of the most practical and exciting applications of AI, in a decades-old practice that has long been stale.”
Keith JonesGTM Systems Lead
“Clay should be an essential pillar of every company's GTM stack, enabling outbound built on the highest quality data foundation possible. Now you can automate hours of manual research so sales teams can focus on selling.”

Stevie CaseCRO
“This job has always been about creativity, despite how it might seem, and Clay enables me to answer more 'what if we could…' questions from our GTM teams than I ever could before.”
Alexander DeMoulinDirector of Revenue Operations
“I love using and working with Clay because its extensive customization options allow it to seamlessly integrate into various systems, making it an essential part of our tech stack. Their hands-on customer support ensures we build out flows in the most efficient way possible.”
David BulmerSales Ops
“Clay is a game changer for marketing, data, and operations. We have 3x our enrichment rate with Clay's combination of data providers. Clay makes it easy to use AI for GTM initiatives, unlocking new workflows that were infeasible before.”

Adam WallHead of Sales Operations
“Clay is a central part of our outbound campaign program. It's helped us fully automate lead enrichment that previously required expensive and time consuming manual research. We can use the hours we've saved on manual work for more interesting, creative, and important tasks.”

Davide GriecoPrev. Director of Growth
“Clay saves us hours a week that we previously spent researching and vetting companies that applied to our startup program. Our auto-approval rate has jumped to ~40% — with no manual work needed.”

Josh KimHead of Growth Programs
“Scaling inefficient SDR work isn't possible without an infinite flow of capital. Clay helps automate mundane tasks like contact data enrichment, including pulling signals and triggers, so SDRs can focus their time on prioritized selling and spend their days more effectively.”
Kris RudegraapCEO
“Not having Clay would hugely reduce our ability to run good outbound campaigns. We wouldn't be calling people as much, because it's hard to get good phone numbers. We wouldn't be emailing as much because we'd be likely to bounce or go to spam. Clay is a reliable source of data enrichment.”
Julien ReimanHead of Sales
“Clay is the Rippling marketing team's secret weapon. It has helped us build an experimentation-driven GTM motion that iterates on ideas and scales what works. We've greatly improved our outbound email performance, deeply enriched our customer base with AI, and more.”
