    Buildup and Smartconext together for digitalisation in the construction industry

    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”.

    According to a press release , the smartconext Group has decided to relocate its company location from Baar to the Suurstoffi area in Rotkreuz. From August 1st, the Swiss marketplace for construction and real estate information will operate from the Switzerland Innovation Park Central .

The company, which specializes in intelligent, user-friendly and value-added digital products, accepts an offer from Switzerland Innovation to rent space on the campus, which, in accordance with the "Open Innovation" philosophy, focuses on a mix of different industry representatives and groups. With its core competencies in the construction industry, the new tenant can contribute to the goal of solution-oriented innovations.
