At Dedale, we closely monitor leading software companies shaping the digital future of construction. In this edition of our Category Leader Spotlight, we dive into Thinkproject, a co-leader in the DACH construction management software market, and a rising platform and consolidator in the broader European market.
Thinkproject’s strength lies in its deep domain expertise, offering highly configurable CDE solutions for complex infrastructure and construction projects.
Over the past few years, it has become a regional consolidator, particularly in DACH, while expanding into France, the UK, and the ANZ markets through strategic acquisitions, all including Conclude, EPLASS, Kairnial, and CEMAR. Following these acquisitions, Thinkproject began a platformization initiative to transition from a fragmented suite of point solutions to a unified, platform-based offering.
Thinkproject primarily targets:
The company’s flagship CDE offerings remain its strongest differentiator, especially in highly regulated environments requiring strong audit trails, collaboration workflows, and contract visibility.
Thinkproject has built a modular platform that covers key needs across the construction lifecycle. Its main product categories include:
The core of Thinkproject’s offering, with several CDE solutions (Enterprise, Conclude, EPLASS) tailored to different project types, from large, complex infrastructure builds to smaller commercial or residential buildings. The solution can act as a central source of truth for the whole company encompassing all projects documentations and data.
Tools for site-based workflows, such as checklists, inspections, and documentation, some developed internally and others via their Kairnial acquisitions, with mobile-first design to bridge the gap between office and field teams.
A strong presence in the UK through CEMAR, which supports standardized contracts like NEC, FIDIC, and JCT. This is a key differentiator in regulated markets.
With DESITE BIM, users can visualize and coordinate 3D models, detect clashes, and improve project planning in design-heavy environments.
A reporting module that consolidates data across projects, helping stakeholders track performance, spot issues early, and drive better decision-making.
RAMM provides infrastructure-focused asset tracking and maintenance scheduling—currently deployed in ANZ, with opportunities for expansion into Europe.
Thinkproject’s strategy is to move from a collection of stand-alone tools to a unified platform, where clients can mix and match modules based on their specific needs.
While Thinkproject has succeeded in expanding geographically through M&A, it is still working to localize its broader suite across regions, an opportunity for deeper penetration and cross-sell.
What it means for investors & partners
Thinkproject is a compelling example of a regional category leader transforming into a European platform play. Its success hinges on striking the right balance between vertical depth (custom CDEs) and horizontal expansion (new modules + geos).
