Elecosoft is Sweden’s leading provider of IT tools for the construction and installation industry. We offer services that promote the sustainable construction of the future. Our software is designed to make your life easier and to make construction projects safer, more straightforward and more profitable. We are with you from the initial bid until the project is signed off.

Everything for the construction process

Elecosoft has software for the entire construction process – tendering, estimating, CAD, design, sizing, time tracking and project planning. The software consists of standalone programs, but Elecosofts consistent BIM strategy means they can also communicate with each other, saving time and money.

For extra reassurance, all our customer coaches have extensive experience in your industry. Our software was developed by builders and installers for builders and installers.

BIM – the benefits of working together

Elecosoft software consists of standalone programs, which means you can add applications to meet your growing and changing needs. But the software also supports BIM – Building Information Modelling* – a process which the different programs use to communicate with each other for a more intelligent and cost-effective way of working. This means you will never have to do the same thing twice. And you can be confident about the input data.

* Also known as Building Information Management.

Our relations - A word from our personnel

It is useful to provide training regularly

have worked with stairs since 1980 and I think it is a fascinating industry and product. Previously, the only requirements were that the stairs would meet the Swedish building code and be as cheap as possible, but today it is an important design element in a home. I work with the software Staircon which is a design program for the stairs. Installation, support and training belongs to my work tasks and it\’s rare that I go home without having learned something new! Replacing the construction software is a big change for a company and it is important that they get good help with the installation and to get started. Moreover, it is useful to provide regular training to optimize the use and display new features. When I visit customers, I study how they work in order to provide suggestions and fine tune. For me it is interesting to see how the customer works and how they can work better and faster thanks to Staircon.

”I want to build lasting relations allowing both sides to grow”

”My role as Support manager is changing, and in future I will mainly work with our national customers with large numbers of users. When there are many users in a company, we get lots of questions resulting from discussions and when new staff are appointed. We are also frequently asked to customise the software for our customers so it can do various things within the company, for example exporting data to the in-house business system. We keep in regular contact so we’re attentive to our customers’ needs. We build relationships by creating trust and confidence – by being good listeners and keeping our promises. Large companies often designate a single person with responsibility, and that’s the person I work with, providing the best support I can. I also try to broaden things out a bit, so I’m available to other people in the company. The aim is to create a long-term schedule of meetings and training sessions, and to establish focus groups within the company to provide feedback on the ongoing development of our software. The thing I really enjoy is building lasting relationships allowing both sides to grow. I like seeing growth in the use of the software and in the company’s sales figures. And I like meeting satisfied customers.”

”The main thing is for customers to be happy with the support we provide”

”My goal is to not only to help all our customers, but to ensure they are happy with the help they receive. When the call ends, I feel good when I’ve been able to solve a problem for the customer. The way we’re organised means customers are put directly in touch with the person who is most able to help them with their particular issue. I know my software inside out, hopefully enabling me to help customers use it as effectively as possible. When I talk to customers I also get direct feedback about the functions of the program and how user-friendly it is. These opinions are valuable, and I always pass them on to my colleagues so they can further improve the software. We work as a team at Elecosoft. We have a range of backgrounds allowing us to understand and meet our customers’ needs.”
