Matrix Software

What Matrix Software does

Matrix Software is a Netherlands-headquartered, private software company founded in 1983 that develops vertical-specific software solutions for the building construction industry. Operating as a member of StruSoft Group since 2021, the company serves more than 1,000 customers across Europe from offices in Nijmegen and Winterswijk (Netherlands), Mechelen (Belgium), and Vilnius (Lithuania), and employs approximately 56 staff. Its portfolio addresses four primary verticals: structural engineering (MatrixFrame for 2D/3D frame analysis, MatrixTools with 40+ calculation modules, MatrixFloor, FEM-Design), precast concrete (IC-Prefab CAD/CAM/Revit, IMPACT Production and Design, MatrixFloor), steel construction (MatrixMetal ERP/MRP and authorized Autodesk Advance Steel distribution), and doors and windows manufacturing (MatrixKozijn Wood, PVC, Webshop, ERP/MRP, CNC, and Matrix Opticalc).

The company develops its core products in-house on Microsoft technologies (.NET, C#, SQL) and integrates with major CAD/BIM platforms (Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Tekla Structures, Advance Steel), ERP systems (Microsoft Dynamics AX), and CNC machinery, providing end-to-end workflows from structural analysis through work preparation, machine control, and production/financial reporting. Domain depth is reinforced by Eurocode-compliant calculation libraries, customer co-development (e.g., WebKozijn with KUFA), and long-tenured reference accounts such as Europrovyl (660 frames/day), Kumij (30-year customer), and Goudriaan Steel Construction.

Matrix generates revenue primarily through recurring annual software licenses, supplemented by professional training services priced €450-€2,700 per attendee and freemium educational licensing for universities and students. Distribution is direct, organized by industry vertical with specialized branch managers and account managers. The business has expanded through seven disclosed acquisitions since 1999, most recently ATS-Ambiance Technical Software in 2022 and Techwin in 2023, and continues to launch adjacent modules such as MES/RFID production tracking (2025) and IMPACT production planning (2023).

Direct peers

• Prokon Software: Prokon provides a suite of structural analysis and design modules for concrete, steel, and timber, used by consulting engineers globally. It is comparable to MatrixFrame and MatrixTools as a structural engineer toolkit with Eurocode-aligned calculations and similar workflow positioning.
• Progress Group: Progress Group supplies machinery and BIM/CAD software (formerly Precast Software Engineering) for the precast concrete industry, including production planning, CAD/CAM, and MES — directly overlapping with Matrix's IC-Prefab, IMPACT Production, and IMPACT Design portfolio for concrete factories.
• RIB Software: RIB (now part of Schneider Electric) provides construction project management, structural engineering, and cost estimation software for the building industry. It is a direct peer in serving contractors and engineers with enterprise-grade construction software, comparable in vertical focus and customer type to Matrix's structural and ERP offerings.
• Computers & Structures (CSI): CSI's SAP2000 and ETABS are leading 3D structural analysis and design tools for buildings and structures. They compete in advanced FEM structural engineering with Matrix's FEM-Design product and are used by similar consulting engineer customers for complex analysis.
• Dlubal Software: Dlubal's RFEM and RSTAB are FEM-based structural analysis programs for 2D/3D frameworks widely used by European engineers. They compete head-to-head with MatrixFrame/MatrixTools for the same structural engineer customer segment with similar Eurocode coverage and timber/concrete/steel analysis capability.
• Bentley Systems: Bentley's structural portfolio (STAAD.Pro, RAM Elements, OpenBuildings) competes directly with MatrixFrame in 2D/3D structural analysis and code checking for concrete, steel, and timber. Both target structural engineers with Eurocode-compliant calculations and BIM integration.
• Trimble Tekla Structures: Tekla Structures is a leading BIM/3D modeling platform for structural and steel detailing, integrated with MatrixFrame and MatrixMetal via Tekla. It competes directly in the steel construction and precast concrete detailing workflows, and is the dominant reference platform Matrix customers use alongside Matrix's calculation and ERP tools.
• SCIA Engineer (Nemetschek): SCIA Engineer is a structural analysis software (FEM-based) widely used across Europe, with strong Eurocode support for steel, concrete, and timber. It is the closest direct competitor to MatrixFrame/MatrixTools in the structural engineering vertical, targeting the same engineering customer base with comparable 2D/3D analysis workflows.

Others

• Buildsoft: Buildsoft (Diamonds product) is a sister company within the StruSoft Group, providing structural analysis software for engineering offices. It is comparable because it operates in the same niche and parent group, sharing resources and market approach, though it focuses more on Belgian/French engineering offices rather than Matrix's vertical manufacturing automation stack.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk: Autodesk is both a partner (Matrix distributes Advance Steel and integrates with Revit/AutoCAD) and a broad incumbent competitor through Revit, AutoCAD, and the Autodesk Construction Cloud. It defines the platform ecosystem in which Matrix's vertical products operate, and competes in structural/BIM workflows at a much larger scale.
