What Barthauer Software does
Barthauer Software GmbH is a privately held German software company founded in 1991 in Braunschweig that develops BaSYS, a database-driven, modular network information system for integrated infrastructure management. The platform centrally manages underground and above-ground utility networks — wastewater, water, gas, electricity, roads, and fiber/cable infrastructure — within a single relational database and is extensible through more than 25 specialized modules covering cadastre, operation and maintenance, hydraulic calculation, rehabilitation planning, fixed-asset management, BIM integration, mobile field documentation, and AI-based sewer inspection. Technically, BaSYS integrates third-party calculation and BIM engines (DHI MIKE 1D for hydrodynamics, Autodesk Revit for BIM, STANET for water supply) and exchanges data via German regulatory standards (ISYBAU, DWA, GAWANIS) and proprietary platforms such as SARIDA for AI inspection workflows.
The company monetizes BaSYS through a mix of one-time software licenses, recurring SaaS subscriptions (notably BaSYS AI and BaSYS WebKiosk), professional services, training, and bespoke IT development, reaching over 1,000 customers primarily in Germany's municipal, engineering-office, federal/state government, airport, and educational segments, with a smaller footprint in Austria and North Africa via a Tunisia subsidiary founded in 2016. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (headed by Head of Sales Jörn Heuer and Head of International Sales Dr. Atef Belhaj Ali) with a certified partner network of resellers and authorized trainers across Germany and Austria, supplemented by an annual BaSYS User Conference and presence at industry exhibitions (IFAT, INTERGEO, InfraSPREE).
Competitive positioning rests on 30+ years of domain specialization, co-development of the ISYBAU data exchange standards, deployment at the Federal Ministry of the Interior and all 16 German State Construction Offices, ISO 9001 and IDW PS 880 certifications, and a recently added AI-based inspection capability in partnership with e.SIC. Barthauer operates as part of the BARTHAUER GROUP alongside BARTHAUER Consulting International GmbH, employs 50+ staff across offices in Braunschweig (HQ), Munich, Würzburg/Lauda-Königshofen, Hanover, Potsdam, and Sousse (Tunisia), and is led by founder/General Manager Dipl.-Inform. Anis Saad. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Barthauer Software competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Trimble: Provider of geospatial and infrastructure software (Trimble Unity, Cityworks) targeting utility asset management and municipal infrastructure workflows that overlap with BaSYS modules.
- Esri: World-leading GIS software provider whose ArcGIS Utility Network and ArcGIS Indoors platforms address utility network management, the same core use case BaSYS serves, though Esri operates at a much broader horizontal scale.
- Autodesk: Provider of Revit (BIM) and Civil 3D, both of which integrate with BaSYS BIM. Autodesk's broader infrastructure design suite overlaps with Barthauer's planning, BIM and asset management capabilities for utility and municipal customers.
- Bentley Systems: Global infrastructure engineering software provider (OpenUtilities, WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS) serving water/wastewater utilities with broader portfolio than Barthauer but overlapping network modeling and asset management functionality for the same utility and municipal customers.
- Hexagon (Intergraph): Provider of geospatial, utility and infrastructure software (HxGN SDx, GeoMedia) competing with Barthauer in network information management for utilities and government customers.
Direct peers
- Innovyze (Autodesk): Water and wastewater network modeling software (InfoWater, InfoSWMM, InfoSewer) now part of Autodesk; a direct competitor to Barthauer's hydraulic simulation and network management capabilities for utilities and engineering offices.
- 1Spatial: Provider of 1Spatial Data Hub and network management software for utilities, addressing similar data quality, validation and infrastructure network management use cases as Barthauer's BaSYS platform.
- Smallworld (GE Vernova): GIS-based network management system for electric, gas and water utilities; directly competes with Barthauer's BaSYS CABLE, BaSYS GasDATA and BaSYS Water modules in the European utility market.
- DHI (Danish Hydraulic Institute): Provider of MIKE+ and MIKE 1D hydraulic modeling software; competes with BaSYS KanDATA/MIKE on hydrodynamic sewer network simulation and is also a technology partner through embedded MIKE 1D calculation core.
- Kisters AG: German software provider for water, energy and environmental management (KISTERS 3D-View, BelVis, WISKI); listed as a Barthauer channel partner but also serves overlapping municipal and utility customers with comparable water resource data management capabilities.
