Technology partnership of SWIETELSKY and Flexcavo

01.08.2022

Complex processes in equipment management are to be standardized, digitized, and partially automated.

Flexcavo automates and digitizes work processes for construction companies, particularly around the management of machinery. Specifically, the start-up offers software for the automated and digital management, planning, and maintenance of construction machinery fleets. Through additional efficiency and transparency, savings in time, money, and natural resources are to be enabled. According to company information, Flexcavo's customers already manage over 30,000 construction machines and more than 1,000 construction sites via the FlexcavoOS platform. The start-up is supported by well-known investors such as VR Ventures, the joint fund of cooperative banks and Redstone, as well as the companies Picus Capital and Rivus Capital. This creates the best conditions for collaboration between SWIETELSKY as a significant player in the construction industry and Flexcavo as a construction tech start-up.

Process efficiency and user-friendliness

Recently, a promising technology partnership was launched. The aim is to optimize SWIETELSKY's machinery usage in terms of resource conservation and efficiency, and to partially automate numerous tasks in the process. Additionally, a user-friendly environment is to be created, among other things, through AI support and voice control. Monika Ehlers, head of the SWIETELSKY division for digital corporate development, aims to ensure that all relevant information is continuously available quickly and reliably. “We will standardize the complex processes of equipment management so that decisions regarding resource use can be made with just one click,” Ehlers said.

Support in everyday construction

Over a period of three years, the goal is to gradually approach this vision. Experts from SWIETELSKY are developing the procedural requirements and providing the necessary data foundation. Flexcavo brings the necessary technological expertise and technical implementation strength with its business focus on digitization and automation of processes for construction companies. All project participants expect the partnership to continuously generate added value for users and to significantly support everyday construction.
