What BuildingPoint Germany does

AllTerra Deutschland GmbH, doing business as BuildingPoint Germany (BuildingPoint), is a Raunheim-headquartered, privately held Trimble channel partner and technology services provider for the German surveying, construction, and infrastructure industries. It operates as a subsidiary of MEB Group, a 250-employee, 11-subsidiary German conglomerate, with a Trimble partnership spanning more than 25 years at the group level and over 30 years at AllTerra specifically.

The company distributes the full Trimble hardware portfolio covering total stations (SX12, S9, S7, S5, C5, RTS, RI), GNSS receivers (R580, R780, R980, DA2, R750, BX992, Alloy, MPS566), 3D laser scanners (X12, X9), field computers (T110, TSC710, TSC510, T7, TDC6), mobile mapping systems (MX60, MX90), and monitoring hardware (Settop M1), alongside DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise drones, Viametris MS-96, and Trimble SiteVision extended reality. The associated software stack includes Trimble Access, TerraFlex, Perspective Mobile, FieldLink, Penmap, Business Center, RealWorks, Connect, RCPS, and 4D Control, covering field data collection, office processing, point cloud management, and BIM collaboration.

Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales, software subscriptions (including the Trimble DA2 Abomodell), professional services (consulting, training, support, custom software development), and equipment rental. Distribution is delivered through a direct enterprise field sales force operating regionally via MEB Group subsidiaries, supplemented by accessory e-commerce (shop.allterra-ds.de) and the SketchUp online store (buildingpoint.shop). Customers include surveying/GIS professionals, civil engineering and infrastructure firms, building construction companies, and operators in specialized segments such as tunnel, rail, and marine applications across Germany.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Trimble Inc. Global manufacturer whose portfolio AllTerra exclusively distributes in Germany. While the partnership is the company's core strength, Trimble's evolving go-to-market (including direct enterprise sales and its own BuildingPoint/SITECH networks) directly shapes AllTerra's opportunity set and competitive risk.
• Leica Geosystems: Hexagon-owned manufacturer of competing total stations, GNSS receivers, laser scanners, and surveying software. As the principal competitor to Trimble in surveying instruments, Leica's Germany sales force and dealer network compete directly with AllTerra's offerings.
• Topcon Positioning: Manufacturer of competing precision GNSS, total stations, machine control, and BIM software. Targets the same surveying, construction, and infrastructure customers in Germany via its own dealer network, representing a direct substitute to Trimble's portfolio that AllTerra distributes.
• Hexagon AB: Parent of Leica Geosystems and broader geospatial/construction technology group. Competes with Trimble end-to-end across surveying, construction, and autonomy; its scale and integrated software/hardware stack pose a structural alternative to AllTerra's Trimble-centric offering.

Emerging players

• CHC Navigation: Chinese-origin manufacturer of GNSS receivers, total stations, UAVs, and mobile mapping systems. Increasingly present in the European surveying market as a lower-priced alternative to Trimble/Leica, putting price pressure on AllTerra's hardware reselling economics.
• GeoMax: Hexagon's value-tier surveying brand offering GNSS, total stations, and software aimed at price-sensitive customers. Competes with AllTerra-distributed Trimble products in the entry/mid-range segments of the German market.

Direct peers

• SITECH: Trimble's authorized dealer network for heavy/civil construction machine control technology. Operates an adjacent Trimble-partner distribution model in Germany with overlapping surveying and construction customer base, making it the closest direct peer to AllTerra within the Trimble ecosystem.
• Allnav: German surveying and measurement technology distributor offering GNSS, total stations, laser scanners, and software to surveying, construction, and GIS professionals. Competes head-to-head with AllTerra Deutschland for the same German enterprise customers in surveying and infrastructure.
• BuildingPoint (Trimble distribution network): Trimble's global branded distribution network for building construction technology. AllTerra Deutschland actually operates under the BuildingPoint brand in Germany; sister BuildingPoint partners in other countries run an essentially identical business model (Trimble hardware + software + services distribution) and are the closest peer set.

Regional players

• Vermessungsbüro Schindler: Germany-based surveying equipment distributor and service provider offering precision instruments, software, and rental. Comparable to AllTerra in product breadth and customer type, though with a more regional rather than national distribution footprint.
