Who we are and
what we stand for
Our mission
We identified the need for the end-to-end digital planning of transportation routes early on. That is why we develop and distribute ProVI – efficient and practical BIM software for transportation and infrastructure planning that is intuitive to use and easy to learn. Our motivation is to create the best BIM transportation route planning tool for the discerning Central European engineering market, and to make our users more competitive through efficiency improvements in planning, execution, and operation.
Our approach
ProVI is software created by engineers, for engineers. On the one hand because our team is made up of engineers with many years of project experience, who know exactly how engineers and planners operate. On the other hand because you, the users, are our development partners. Through personal contact, we learn on a daily basis in what infrastructure projects ProVI is used and keep improving our understanding of your requirements for the software. Your requests and suggestions help us with the ongoing optimization of ProVI.
