Case Study: nesseler group speeds up onboarding and delivers open BIM with Catenda

nesseler Group onboards new colleagues in 30 minutes with Catenda

The nesseler Group, a general contractor based in Germany, required a common data environment that guaranteed full data sovereignty through open formats for a major laboratory project. Their challenge was ensuring project information could flow without restriction and avoid proprietary software lock-in. They chose to implement the Catenda Hub platform to meet their Open BIM standards.

Catenda provided an open CDE built on IFC and BCF, which allowed nesseler Group to establish a company-wide standard and authorization structure. The solution resulted in highly organized project communication and enabled the delivery of a five-story laboratory building for University Hospital Cologne. A key measurable impact was that new colleagues could be onboarded and become productive in the system within approximately 30 minutes of training.
