BauBit PRO: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

BauBit PRO is construction business software from ABBF Bausoft AG in Givisiez, Switzerland, aimed at contractors and trades such as painting, timber construction, landscaping and scaffolding. It covers the project cycle: tender management, quotation costing, measurements taken directly from PDF plans, daily reports for staff hours and equipment, day-work records, and invoicing with interim and final invoices. Interfaces to accounting and payroll pass data on. With BauBit Mobile, site staff work on tablets or smartphones, and access rights are role-based.

ABBF is headquartered in Switzerland, which is not an EU member but is an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision. According to the vendor, the software is integrated on the customer's premises and updated automatically; its partner page also lists hosting and Azure cloud partners. The vendor does not state where customer data is hosted, so ask which data centre and operator apply to your deployment. If the software runs in your own environment, you keep control over where project and personnel data is stored.

Why digital sovereignty matters with BauBit PRO

BauBit PRO is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

BauBit PRO runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

BauBit PRO is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs BauBit PRO together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
