Start-up smino takes over Viennese Bimspot
The software company smino takes over the company Bimspot from Vienna, which is also active in the software sector. The provider of a digital platform for the management of construction projects wants to become a leader in the construction industry in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
The start-up smino based in Jona takes over the software manufacturer Bimspot based in Vienna. According to a press release , smino wants to become the standard solution for project management and collaboration in the construction industry in the DACH region.
The start-up from the St.GallenBodenseeArea offers a digital platform for planning and construction projects in Switzerland. 8,000 companies are already using the smino application, which acts as a data hub for construction projects.
Bimspot's technology, with which building information from models for digital construction planning (Building Information Modeling/BIM) is brought together, structured and automatically checked for errors and completeness, is to be integrated into the smino platform after the takeover.
This is intended to expand the range of functions for users in the area of BIM process handling. The Bimspot employees should complement the smino team. From a new location in Vienna, the BIM experts and software developers will promote the further development of the technology and its sale.
“With this acquisition, we will take over the market leadership in the field of BIM. I am firmly convinced that our two offers complement each other ideally and that we can offer customers further real added value," says Silvio Bee, co-founder and managing partner of smino AG, as quoted in the media release.
