bps bau is an ERP solution for mid-sized construction companies. The software covers the whole project cycle: bid estimating, tendering, work preparation, site execution, measurement and billing, post-calculation and controlling. Additional modules cover areas such as the site diary, e-invoicing in the XRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats, vehicle management and an internal communication platform. Data is linked, so information entered once is reused everywhere. The vendor also supplies financial software and a connection to its site app upmesh. Customers assemble the functions to fit their company.
The provider, bps software GmbH & Co. KG, is based in Ibbenbüren, Germany, and describes itself as owner-managed; no foreign parent company is named. You can install bps bau locally on your own servers or use it through the bps Cloud Server. According to the vendor, the cloud is hosted by mitteldeutsche IT GmbH exclusively in German data centres and is GDPR-compliant. Switching between on-premise and cloud is possible, which limits dependence on a single operating model.
