Global SaaS Platform for Construction Environment

NBS is a comprehensive SaaS that provides construction specifications from low to high levels of detail, including end products and manufacturers’ data. This indispensable platform, which is constantly being developed and adapted to changing market and user requirements, has supported the work of the construction industry since the 1970s.

NBS needed a reliable IT partner to support the development of the SaaS platform for providing construction information, and specifications collected across all legacy services and applications, making the software a single source of data for everyone involved in the built environment, such as designers, suppliers and builders.

• A key goal of the platform is to support builders and architects in accurately specifying and describing construction elements, regardless of the level of complexity of the project or the number of elements.
• The SaaS product also supports manufacturers in creating and developing data. The overall goal is to ensure smooth stakeholder collaboration.
• Further development of the platform also centers on user experience. A SaaS with a long history must guarantee that new specifications can be easily introduced, but it is equally important to maintain existing functions and data from earlier legacy applications.
• Manufacturers must be able to import legacy data stored in existing MS Word specifications into the platform.

The scope of the cooperation includes comprehensive support for Software-as-a-Service product development in accordance with the growing needs of the industry and users.

The client’s company, established in the 70s, has evolved through all phases of the software lifecycle and currently operates as a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. They are among the top three providers of construction software in the UK, with a substantial presence even in government sectors.

As a team, we provide our developers with expertise and know-how.
