What makes Simplebim different?
Three things: the smartest BIM workflow, unique technology and true openness.
The first thing that makes Simplebim different is, quite frankly, its ingenious approach to BIM data management. Most of the industry is still stuck in the old distributed and manual way of managing data. This probably comes from the traditional document-based workflow, which doesn’t fit well with the BIM-based process. We realized this and that is why Simplebim enables centralized and automated data management and standardization, instead of distributed and manual. This is huge.
In practice it is the only way to get the data flowing. Centralized processing is pretty basic data management in other industries, but yet to be deployed to construction. Until now.
Second: the unique and smart technology. Simplebim is packed with technological innovations, which drive large scale BIM data flow and usage in the industry. And, which have been developed and tested with some of the leading construction companies in the industry. This means that the innovations are driven by the practicalities and specifics of the construction industry . They are not theoretical and generic like so many other solutions.
There’s no other software on the market that has the complete set of tools for BIM data wrangling. And the best of the game tools for automatically defining locations, classifications and quantities. Cleaning up the models. Or even deriving new objects and data into the models.
Third: openness. Simplebim transforms BIM data into valuable data for every construction professional. Our goal is for everybody to get value from digital data on every day basis. Not just once a project or once a month. Everyday. Whenever you need the data. Not just the BIM and data-savvy people. Everybody.
This means that the data needs to be available to everybody. And this is only possible if the data processing system is fully open, and thus can be connected to basically any tool and platform. This is why Simplebim has supported and worked with open BIM and data formats from the beginning. This is why Simplebim is not the final stop for BIM data like in so many other so-called open BIM applications.
