Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Trimble: Provider of construction technology including SketchUp and Trimble Connect for BIM collaboration. Comparable because Trimble owns one of the third-party products CYCOT resells (SketchUp Pro) and competes broadly in the same BIM ecosystem.
• Graphisoft: Developer of ArchiCAD, a direct BIM competitor to Allplan in the architect segment. Comparable because Graphisoft's product is positioned head-to-head against the Allplan editions CYCOT resells, and shifts between the two platforms affect CYCOT's competitive positioning.
• Nemetschek Group: Parent company of Allplan and one of the largest AEC software groups globally. Comparable because CYCOT is an official Allplan reseller/distributor and is structurally dependent on Nemetschek's product roadmap and partner economics.
• Bentley Systems: Provider of infrastructure-focused BIM and engineering software (OpenBuildings, OpenRoads, etc.). Comparable because Bentley competes for civil/structural engineering software budgets that CYCOT addresses through Allplan + FRILO combinations.
• RIB Software: Provider of construction cost estimating and BIM/ERP software (iTWO), now part of Schneider Electric. Comparable because RIB overlaps with CYCOT's NOVA AVA cost-planning positioning and targets the same German/European AEC market with software plus services.
• Autodesk: Global leader in CAD/BIM with AutoCAD and Revit. Comparable as the dominant alternative CAD/BIM stack that competes for the same architect and engineer wallet share that CYCOT serves through Allplan reselling.

Emerging players

• Solibri (Nemetschek): Model-checking and BIM quality assurance software, part of the Nemetschek group. Comparable because Solibri sits in the same BIM quality/IFC handling space as CYCOT's Simplebim offering and shares the Nemetschek partner ecosystem.
• Bluebeam (Nemetschek): PDF-based markup and collaboration tools for AEC, now part of Nemetschek. Comparable because Bluebeam is increasingly bundled into Nemetschek/Allplan workflows and overlaps with CYCOT's BIM collaboration and document-sharing positioning.

Direct peers

• AECOS GmbH: German AEC software reseller focused on Graphisoft ArchiCAD and related BIM tools. Comparable to CYCOT as a similarly sized regional VAR in Germany bundling CAD/BIM software, training, and consulting for architects and engineers.
• Cadac Group: European Autodesk Platinum partner and AEC software specialist reselling CAD/BIM suites with training, consulting, and managed services. Comparable to CYCOT in business model (VAR + services) and target market (architects, engineers, contractors), though operating at larger scale and across multiple countries.
