Digitalization in the construction industry

Where challenges arise – and how picos helps

Many companies in the construction sector already use software. However, these are often isolated solutions without connections between office, production, and construction site – including media disruptions, Excel sheets, and paper-based processes. picos connects processes and stakeholders on a shared data basis.

  • Reduce media disruptions Planning, production, installation, and service all access the same data.
  • Information at the right time Quotations, drawings, test reports, product passports – available exactly where they are needed.
  • Integrate all value chain participants System providers, metal fabricators, installation partners, and service providers collaborate on a digital platform.
  • Sustainable documentation Digital product passports and complete histories support standards, certifications, and future regulations.

Why end-to-end digitalization?

10–20 %more efficiency possible*

Integrated processes from inquiry to after-sales can significantly reduce setup times, search efforts, and coordination work.

*Industry studies and experience from digitalization projects in the construction sector.
