In November 2023, BuildTec Software Group laid the groundwork for expanding its footprint in Scandinavia with the acquisition of E-KOMPLET A/S, a Danish ERP software provider serving the trade sector. Alongside Acies A/S and E-KOMPLET A/S, BuildTec Software Group, backed by Bregal Unternehmerkapital, brings together other renowned brands boasting a combined customer base of over 20,000. Notable among these are SEMA, a global leader in CAD/CAM software solutions for timber, staircase construction, and sheet metal processing; WGsystem, a provider of commercial software for various trade businesses; Compass, the premium software provider for staircase, timber, and window construction with a focus on CNC connections and workshop organization; and Hausmann & Wynen, featuring brands Powerbird and Sitara, specializing in ERP solutions tailored for electricians and other trade enterprises. Since January 2024, GLASER Programmsysteme GmbH with ISBCAD, a CAD solution for structural engineering, has also joined BuildTec Software Group.
"This new addition significantly bolsters our group and broadens our portfolio with offerings from adjacent industries," explains Alexander Neuss, CEO of the BuildTec Software Group. "Specialized companies across the board encounter similar digitalization challenges, and our customers reap the benefits of the collective expertise of our group members, all driven by the shared goal of developing optimal and pragmatic solutions aligned with present and future needs."
"I am thrilled for Acies to join BuildTec Software Group. The opportunity to harness the knowledge, experience, and technological prowess within the group, with a shared focus on the building trade, is unparalleled. We are driven by ambition, and we are eager to scale our operations. Becoming part of BuildTec Software Group provides us with a robust foundation to accelerate growth, both in terms of enhancing our services to existing customers and expanding our geographical reach," states Jesper Westfall, CEO of Acies.
