Compass Software announces takeover by SEMA Group

For the building industry, which is facing fundamental changes and challenges in the areas of digitalisation and process coordination like hardly any other industry, the alliance of the two companies is a strong signal. Both companies are already contributing considerably to BIM coordination processes for all trades involved that enable their own customers to achieve above-average increases in productivity and improvements in cost and schedule adherence for the industry.

This deal represents a strategic expansion of the portfolio of both companies. It is expected to further advance the strategic goal of offering a platform for industrialised timber construction by bundling innovative power, which offers customers a unique user experience in addition to consistent workflows. Mutual customers now have the possibility of integrating other trades into their daily business through the highly innovative solutions from an extended portfolio.

"The SEMA Group and Compass Software GmbH share the same long-term goals. We are happy to continue our story together," says Lukas Hollinderbaeumer, Managing Director at Compass Software GmbH. "The combined innovative power of our development teams will give us the opportunity to create even more added value for our customers and to continue being a strong partner for digitsalisation in the industry," explains Ludger Ostendarp, Head of Software Development at Compass Software GmbH.

The complementary capabilities of both companies will give our customers access to high innovation and sophisticated technologies," adds Alexander Neuss, CEO at the SEMA Group.
