What Graitec does

Graitec is a privately held global BIM software and services company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Paris, France, with primary US operations based in Atlanta, Georgia through Applied Software Technology LLC. The company operates as an Autodesk Platinum Partner, one of the largest globally since 1997, reselling the full Autodesk AEC and manufacturing portfolio (Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Inventor, Vault, Plant 3D, AEC Collection, BIM Collaborate Pro, Autodesk Construction Cloud) and developing proprietary software that extends and automates these platforms.

Graitec's proprietary product portfolio centers on the PowerPack suite of add-ons for Revit, Advance Steel, Inventor, Vault, and Plant 3D; GRAITEC STEEL, a unified steel design and fabrication platform integrating Advance Steel and Inventor; Advance Design, a FEM-based structural analysis tool with an Open API; File Sync, a cross-platform collaboration tool synchronizing Autodesk Forma, Procore, SharePoint, Bluebeam, and Azure Blob Storage; and the Ideate Software suite of Revit productivity tools (BIMLink, Explorer, Exporthub, Automation). The company has grown through acquisitions, including Applied Software, Ideate Software, Strucsoft, and Microsol Resources, and maintains wholly-owned subsidiaries serving each acquired brand.

Graitec generates revenue through three principal streams: software resale (Autodesk subscriptions), proprietary software licensing and subscriptions (PowerPack, GRAITEC STEEL, Advance Design, File Sync, Ideate), and professional services (training, consulting, BIM Roadmap Workshop, BIM Management, Up & Ready packaged programs, and the Graitec Advantage support contract). The company serves architectural firms, engineering firms, construction companies, manufacturers, fabricators, process plant designers, and product design firms across 14+ countries with 700+ digital transformation experts and 200 developers, supporting a claimed base of 270,000+ clients.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk: Autodesk is the dominant AEC and manufacturing software vendor whose Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Inventor, and Construction Cloud platforms form the foundation of Graitec's software, reseller, and services business. Comparable because Graitec's product roadmap, distribution, and economics are tightly coupled to Autodesk's strategy.
• Trimble: Trimble is a diversified AEC and manufacturing technology provider with Tekla, SketchUp, and Trimble Connect, competing in structural BIM, fabrication, and construction collaboration. Comparable because Trimble offers overlapping workflows in steel detailing, BIM, and construction data management that Graitec also serves.
• Bentley Systems: Bentley Systems is an infrastructure-focused software vendor (Open Roads, Open Buildings, SYNCHRO) serving engineering and construction markets. Comparable because it competes for the same AEC software budget and targets similar enterprise engineering and infrastructure customers.
• Nemetschek Group: Nemetschek Group owns Graphisoft (ArchiCAD), Vectorworks, Allplan, and Solibri, providing BIM and design solutions across architecture, engineering, and construction. Comparable due to overlapping BIM-focused product portfolios and similar AEC customer base.
• Procore Technologies: Procore is a leading construction management SaaS platform that competes with Autodesk Construction Cloud and integrates with Graitec's File Sync and Bluebeam workflows. Comparable because it targets the same construction GC and project management buyer and is part of Graitec's ecosystem.

Direct peers

• IMAGINiT Technologies (Rand Worldwide): IMAGINiT is a long-standing Autodesk Platinum Partner offering software, training, consulting, and implementation services to AEC and manufacturing firms. Comparable because it directly competes with Graitec in Autodesk software resale, training, and BIM implementation across North America.
• CADD Microsystems (IMAGINiT/CADD Micro): CADD Microsystems is an Autodesk Platinum Partner focused on AEC software, training, and consulting services. Comparable because it competes for the same AEC accounts, particularly in the mid-Atlantic and DC corridor, offering similar Autodesk software, BIM, and digital transformation services.
• KETIV Technologies: KETIV is an Autodesk Platinum Partner providing software, consulting, and training for design, engineering, and manufacturing firms. Comparable due to overlapping Autodesk product resale, manufacturing/Inventor expertise, and West Coast/Midwest AEC customer base.
• Tactile.io (Tactile Engineering): Tactile is an AEC-focused engineering and software services firm specializing in BIM, computational design, and digital fabrication workflows. Comparable because it serves similar AEC customers with software customization, training, and consulting services leveraging Autodesk platforms.
• Ideate Software (internal subsidiary): Ideate Software is a wholly-owned Graitec subsidiary providing Revit productivity tools (BIMLink, Explorer, Apps, Exporthub). Comparable because it operates as a Revit-focused software brand within Graitec's portfolio, but pre-acquisition it was a peer operating in the same Revit productivity space.
