Elecosoft

What Elecosoft does

Elecosoft (rebranding to Eleco) is the primary software brand within AIM-listed Eleco Group plc, headquartered in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire, UK. The company develops and sells vertical software for the built environment, anchored by Asta Powerproject, a construction-specific scheduling and project planning tool with over 30 years of continuous development. The product portfolio extends into a connected ecosystem: Asta Vision (cloud portfolio portal), Asta Connect (collaborative task management), Asta Powerproject 4D (BIM-linked 4D planning), Asta Enterprise (multi-user program management), Asta SiteProgress (mobile site reporting), Asta Powerproject BI (analytics), and Asta Estimate (cost, carbon, and schedule estimation). Adjacent product lines include ShireSystem (combined CMMS/CAFM for asset and maintenance management), IconSystem (collaborative BIM), Bidcon and Lubekalk (Scandinavian cost estimating), Staircon and Statcon (CAD/structural calculation), PM3 (project portfolio management), and Pemac and Kivue (acquired maintenance and visualization brands).

The platform is built on a cloud-enabled architecture with native interoperability to Microsoft Project XML, Oracle Primavera XER, ERP systems, and BIM/IFC workflows. Notable technical components include 4D BIM-schedule linking, schedule quality checking against DCMA and CIOB standards, mobile site-progress capture with QR/barcode/RFID support, and AstaGPT — a retrieval-based AI help assistant trained on 1.5 million words of internal documentation. Elecosoft is ISO 27001 certified by NQA and listed on the UK G-Cloud 11 framework for public sector procurement.

Elecosoft generates revenue through a mix of perpetual software licenses, annual subscriptions (per-user, concurrent, SaaS, and enterprise tiers), professional services (classroom and online training, consultancy, implementation), and channel-partner resale. Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales in the UK, US, Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany; a growing approved reseller network with formal enablement; a self-serve e-commerce path for select products; and a UK G-Cloud marketplace listing for public sector. The customer base spans over 50,000 companies and 100,000+ users, including 82 of the ENR Top 400 construction firms and large enterprise logos across construction, retail, hospitality, and manufacturing.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Procore: Procore is a broad construction management platform covering project management, quality, and safety. It overlaps with Asta's portfolio and enterprise-construction customer base but operates at significantly larger scale and breadth.
• Trimble: Trimble offers a broad construction technology portfolio including scheduling, BIM, and field management that overlaps with multiple Eleco products and competes for the same enterprise construction accounts.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk Construction Cloud bundles BIM, project management, and scheduling tools and competes with both Asta Powerproject and IconSystem, with deep integration to Revit and other Autodesk design products.
• IBM Maximo: IBM Maximo is a leading enterprise CMMS/EAM platform competing directly with ShireSystem and Pemac in asset-intensive industries such as manufacturing, utilities, and facilities management.

Direct peers

• Oracle Primavera: Oracle's Primavera P6 is the most direct competitor to Asta Powerproject in construction scheduling, with deep penetration among large EPC contractors and similar critical-path and resource-management functionality.
• thinkproject: thinkproject provides construction and engineering project management software across Europe, directly competing with Asta Powerproject and IconSystem for large infrastructure and construction programs.
• Buildertrend: Buildertrend is a leading residential construction management platform competing with Eleco's homebuilder-targeted Asta Powerproject capabilities in the SMB and mid-market homebuilder segment.
• Microsoft Project: Microsoft Project is the dominant generic project scheduling tool that Asta Powerproject explicitly competes against and interoperates with (XML import/export), targeting overlapping enterprise scheduling buyers.

Emerging players

• ServiceNow: ServiceNow's workflow and asset management capabilities increasingly overlap with ShireSystem's CAFM/CMMS scope, especially as it expands into facilities and workplace operations use cases.
• Bluebeam: Bluebeam (part of Nemetschek Group) provides markup, collaboration, and project management software widely used by the same construction professionals who use Asta Powerproject, representing adjacent competition for collaboration workflows.
