Buildup and Smartconext together for digitalisation in the construction industry

July 2023

Buildup and smartconext have agreed on a strategic cooperation. They want to contribute to the digitalisation of the construction industry with a joint offer. In the process, product information from buildup will be integrated into smartconext's automated order acquisition.

The Zurich-based innovation partner for the digitalisation of construction product information, buildup, has agreed on a strategic cooperation with the Zug-based company smartconext, which specialises in digital order acquisition. Together, the two partners want to promote the digitalisation of the construction industry and here in particular the supplier industry, buildup explains in a statement. To this end, a joint offer will be created for manufacturers in the Swiss market.

Specifically, product information from buildup’s database will be integrated into smartconext’s automated order acquisition. For Dominik Mahn, founder and CEO of smartconext, this is a logical and consistent step in the further development of the company’s technology, according to the statement. The redirection to the products on the buildup platform creates “an intuitive customer journey with significant added value for architects and planners, as well as for the construction industry itself”. For buildup, in turn, the cooperation with smartconext will “strongly concretise the connection to various sales channels in order to open up further digital touchpoints for the manufacturer partners in addition to established partnerships”.
