Nemetschek Group Ecosystem, Partners, Resellers and SI

In February 2024, ALLPLAN and MiTek, a pre-engineered construction solution provider, forged a strategic partnership aimed at facilitating end-to-end digital workflows for wooden component building design and automated prefabrication. This collaboration addresses the rising demand for automated serial construction, utilizing renewable materials and reducing raw material consumption. The partnership aims to enhance productivity and efficiency in timber house design and construction. By integrating ALLPLAN's BIM solution with MiTek's timber construction solution Pamir, a comprehensive platform covering all aspects of timber construction, including expertise in nail plate trusses, is created. This facilitates seamless file-to-factory automation, where BIM models from ALLPLAN are transferred to Pamir for structural calculations, detailing, and work preparation.

Sales in brand companies are managed both through direct channels by the company's sales teams and indirectly through resellers and distribution partners.
