Relis AG

What Relis AG does

Relis AG is a Swiss professional services firm headquartered in Baden, Canton Aargau, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Steinmann Group. The company develops and operates WebGIS platforms and delivers Building Information Modeling (BIM) services, specializing in 3D as-built modeling, Scan2BIM procedures, digital twin creation, and infrastructure data management for Swiss municipalities, energy and utility companies, property developers, and real estate operators. Technically, Relis AG combines in-house WebGIS platforms with industry-standard tools — ArchiCAD/GRAPHISOFT for modeling, Oracle Aconex for document and collaboration management, and terrestrial/mobile laser scanning hardware (NavVis VLX3, Trimble X9) for point cloud capture — to deliver LOG Level 300-400 BIM models for complex assets including nuclear facilities, heritage buildings, and large commercial properties.

The company's revenue model is primarily project-based professional services engagement, with one documented recurring component (Aconex-based infrastructure data management for the Shoppingcenter Tivoli). Customer segments are horizontal, spanning government (Gemeinde Seengen), energy/utilities (IBB Energie AG, Kernkraftwerk Gösgen-Däniken AG, die werke versorgung wallisellen AG), and real estate (HIAG Immobilien, Shoppingcenter Tivoli). Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise consulting, customer events (annual WebGIS user events at venues such as Villa Boveri in Baden), ETH Zürich career fair presence, and intra-group referrals from sister companies within the Steinmann Group (Steinmann Ingenieur Geometer AG, Steinmann Ingenieure und Planer AG, Straub Vermessungen AG). Relis AG is privately held with 5 employees, no disclosed funding, and was led through a CEO transition in July 2025 when Jonas Herzog (MSc UZH Geography) was appointed to head the business unit. The company relocated its offices to Rütistrasse 2, Baden in May 2026 alongside other Steinmann Group entities.

• BSF Swissphoto: Swiss aerial surveying and geospatial services firm offering photogrammetry, LiDAR, and GIS solutions for public and infrastructure clients — a directly comparable Swiss-domiciled competitor in mapping and spatial data services.
• GRAPHISOFT: ArchiCAD BIM vendor — Relis uses ArchiCAD as its primary BIM authoring tool and has featured the Burgturm Seengen model on GRAPHISOFT's BIMx platform, making it both a close partner and a benchmarked alternative for BIM delivery.
• Esri: Global leader in GIS platform software (ArcGIS). Relis competes as a custom WebGIS developer against Esri's standard platform offerings and uses Esri-adjacent technologies to deliver bespoke solutions to the same municipal and utility customers.
• EBP Schweiz AG: Swiss planning, engineering, and infrastructure consulting firm with GIS and asset management capabilities serving municipalities, cantons, and utilities — comparable Swiss-based consultancy competing for the same public-sector customers.
• Autodesk: Dominant BIM/Revit platform vendor with Autodesk Construction Cloud and Forma digital-twin offerings; competes with Relis's BIM modeling and digital-twin services for the same building, infrastructure, and facility management buyers.
• Bentley Systems: Infrastructure engineering software vendor with iTwin and OpenUtilities products covering digital twins and asset-heavy infrastructure workflows — directly overlapping Relis's infrastructure asset management and digital twin services.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble: Broad geospatial and construction technology vendor offering surveying instruments (X9), GIS, and BIM platforms. Relis uses Trimble X9 laser scanning hardware and competes at the services layer with Trimble's vertical digital-twin solutions.
• Hexagon (Leica Geosystems): Global geospatial technology group whose Leica Geosystems division supplies laser scanning/HDS equipment and asset-lifecycle software that overlap with Relis's Scan2BIM and infrastructure asset management services.

Emerging players

• Matterport: 3D capture and digital-twin SaaS platform focused on buildings; represents the emerging productized, camera-based alternative to Relis's professional Scan2BIM service offering for facility owners seeking faster, lower-cost digital twins.
• NavVis: Mobile mapping and digital-twin platform vendor whose NavVis VLX3 system Relis deploys in Scan2BIM projects; competes as an end-to-end digital-twin capture and cloud platform for the same indoor-mapping and facility-management use cases.
