Company
The PropTech startup NeoTwin was founded at the end of 2018 by an experienced team.
As part of a new, significantly more internationally oriented corporate strategy, the focus of investments was placed on digital solutions as required in the Umdasch Group’s core business in the shell construction segment and in formwork and scaffolding technology. Umdasch Group Ventures therefore divested its stake in NeoTwin in mid 2025.
At the end of 2025, Mensch und Maschine (MuM) acquired a stake in NeoTwin. MuM is the largest Autodesk system house and one of the leading providers and developers of CAD/CAM, PDM, and BIM solutions in 2D and 3D, with around 75 locations throughout Europe, Asia, and America. MuM’s business model is based on two segments: MuM software (standard software for CAM, BIM, and CAE) and digitalization (customized technical software solutions as well as training and consulting for customers in industry, construction, infrastructure, and real estate).
The founding team from Munich has experienced the pain points and challenges in the industry firsthand and is determined to solve them through end-to-end digitalization and new technologies. The founders have many years of industry experience and know exactly what is important. They bring extensive expertise in construction, project management, IT/software development, and sales, combined with over 50 years of practical experience. This is the best combination and prerequisite for the successful realization of a sustainable owner platform for building lifecycle management.
Why – Why and for what, at least?
Constructing and maintaining buildings and infrastructure facilities has always been associated with high levels of investment. There are also requirements for sustainability and decarbonisation in all phases of the life cycle of building facilities. All activities associated with those requirements during the phases of planning, realisation, and operation of the building facilities (assets) are characterized by processes with a strong division of labour.
The introduction of digital working methods, supported by numerous different specialised software applications, has created a large number of “data islands” among the parties involved in the processes. However, to holistically manage the assets and the associated projects, it is mandatory to merge these “data islands” into an integrated information base.
Why – inspiration and driving purpose, fuelled by core values and beliefs
In addition, from the point of view of the portfolioholders, developers, investors, and asset managers, summarised here as “owners,” additional information from the owner-specific processes must be added. This goes beyond a pure data warehouse. Ultimately, the data sovereignty of the owner must be guaranteed.
This was NeoTwin’s motivation for developing the cloud-based platform PrometriQ for asset management and project management of assets from the perspective of an owner. We feel that software solutions already established on the market and thus with our customer should be used or integrated as far as is possible.
How – How exactly?
The platform was developed based on the concepts “cloud computing,” “support of standards,” “open system architecture,” and the “use of existing system components.”
The Common Data Environment (CDE) on which the platform is based consists of the standard components Microsoft Teams© and Microsoft SharePoint© for document management and communication.
How – unique method, competitive advantage
The additionally required data models and functionalities for asset and project management were developed on the basis of Microsoft Azure©. Integration into company processes is ensured via bidirectional interfaces to the ERP systems established on the market (SAP© and others).
Optionally, it is possible to connect PrometriQ to platforms for managing 3D building models (BIM). The import and export of data is carried out according to relevant national and international standards. Where necessary, defined Microsoft Excel© templates are used.
What – What do we do?
The BIM-enabled PrometriQ platform from NeoTwin is a cloud solution for managing real estate and infrastructure assets throughout their entire life cycle.
We are focused on owners (investors, builders, developers, portfolio holders, etc.). The platform supports the customer and internal and external users through the two functional components AIM (Asset Information Management) and PIM (Project Information Management).
What – activity or offering
The seamless integration of the two module areas AIM and PIM creates a powerful management tool with a comprehensive and consistent database. This so-called “single point of truth” organises the master data of your building assets and their projects (new construction, renovation, transformation, etc.) while providing the relevant key performance indicators, information, and analyses for daily management and reporting.
In addition, NeoTwin offers consulting services and other services in connection with introducing and integrating PrometriQ into company processes, along with the usual system support.
