A successful business year for 2019

Thinkproject increased its revenue by more than 25% in 2019.

Thanks to the profitable growth in the international construction software market, the company’s successful acquisitions and continued investment in their products, employees and customers, Thinkproject enters 2020 with significant new customer wins and the introduction of an indirect channel partner.

Headquartered in Munich, Thinkproject acquired Essen-based ceapoint aec technologies GmbH in February 2019, strengthening its BIM capabilities with ceapoint’s DESITE BIM while extending ceapoint’s regional scope.

In October 2019, Thinkproject then acquired Germany-based BIM common data environment (CDE) specialist Conclude GmbH. The acquisition further strengthened the company’s leading position with asset owner customers in the DACH region, and added cost management capabilities to its product portfolio. During 2019, Thinkproject also won a major infrastructure project in the Asia Pacific region, supporting clients embracing NEC contracting standards, and won its largest enterprise customer contract to date in mainland Europe.

In early 2020, Thinkproject has already won two new major clients, and has invested in growing its European indirect channel partnerships by appointing BIM expert Mensch & Maschine as a non-exclusive pan-European reseller for DESITE BIM.

Thinkproject CEO Gareth Burton is enthusiastic going into the company’s 20th year in operation:

“We are proud of the diverse company we have built and will continue to invest in our people, environment and the communities we work in. Thanks to our fantastic employees and customers, we have delivered substantial growth in recent years and we anticipate continued double-digit revenue growth in 2020.”

Ralf Grüßhaber, thinkproject’s CFO, says:

“After the tremendous growth we saw in 2019, we want to continue gaining market share at further improved margins. We are expanding our geographic footprint to provide improved support for our clients and this will be an exciting year for the product side of thinkproject as we continue investing in our product integration and innovation. We are planning to launch our multilingual CEMAR product this year, which will support wider NEC contract management across Europe and beyond.”

Gareth adds:

“We will strengthen our cross-selling efforts, helping us meet increased demand from our customers for construction intelligence and make use of the integrated broad product portfolio we have within our group: CDEs, BIM, contract management, cost management, managed services and mobile solutions. Plus, we will further expand our growing reseller partnerships in 2020.”
