Corporate rather than industry solution in the construction trade
There are industry solutions for the construction industry like the proverbial sand by the sea. They are based on supposed standard processes; anyone who wants to use them must make compromises. Or instead, develop an individual solution using low-code with Ninox.
Customer profile

The company from Garching near Munich has successfully specialized in concrete core activations, surface heating and cooling systems, and floor heating systems in industrial, commercial and residential construction. The range of services covers all project phases from planning and calculation to planning and execution to documentation.
Challenge
Industry standards vs. individual requirements
keiltec's mostly complex construction projects require maximum efficiency in planning and implementation. On the one hand, individual processes must be taken into account, but on the other hand, standardized data formats such as GAEB and DATANORM must also be taken into account. It is therefore crucial for construction management software that it offers appropriate interfaces, but at the same time can also be flexibly adapted to the specific features of the trade and project. The latter was not possible with any of the tested industry solutions with reasonable effort. That is why keiltec opted for individual development with Ninox.

Ninox offered the ideal conditions for this and proved to be successful thanks to Low-code approach In the end, it is also economical as the best solution.
