Partners & Network
Being a specialist also means having the right partners.
We develop tools for the construction phase. Our partners add project workspaces, digital construction files, mobile devices, resource planning and local weather data — suited to your workflow.
Partner solutions
Five partners with different areas of expertise for your construction projects.
Teamsware
The digital project and construction file with Microsoft Teams: planning and building in your familiar digital workplace — connected to your Open Experience data.

"Open Experience's mobile onlineBauabnahme is one of the most technically mature solutions for defect management in Germany." — Mike Riegler, PMG, on the partnership since 2016.
Our goal: less duplicate work. We clarify interfaces, data flows and responsibilities for your specific use case.
And the ones we do research with
Open Experience was born out of research — and those partnerships continue to this day.
- Darmstadt University of Applied SciencesProject digiBau (since 2018) — the origin of the DIGIBAU 360 helmet camera system.
- KIT and FZI Research Center for Information TechnologyThe origin of our 2009 spin-off and ongoing collaboration in AI projects.
- Fraunhofer IPM, FreiburgFraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques — partner in our projects on image analysis, surveying and AI for construction execution.
- TU DarmstadtErgonomics research and data protection assessment of AI applications for the construction industry.
Our research projects
What powers our products today started out as a research project. Two of them are currently running.
| Project | What it is about | Status |
|---|---|---|
| digiBau | Helmet camera system for seamless site-walk documentation, funded through ZIM, together with Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. Result: DIGIBAU 360. | since 2018 · turned into a product |
| ESKIMO | Artificial-intelligence building blocks for a digital mobile value chain in construction execution (BMBF). The foundation of our defect and object recognition. | 2020–2022 · completed |
| BIM-4-CARE | Model-based management of buildings across the entire lifecycle — from execution into operation. | 2024–2026 · completed |
| SmartMark | Automated marking and re-identification of building components as a bridge between component, model and documentation. | ongoing |
| KRITIS3D | "Thinking security digitally": 3D surveying, robotic capture and AI object recognition outdoors — the research context of OXI. | ongoing |
We publish the results in our public series "Digitale Transformation" (ISSN 2512-8108) — see the expert forum.
Do you have a solution that fits the construction phase?
Talk to us — from technical integration to joint go-to-market. We assess every inquiry by one criterion: does it take real work off our customers' shoulders?
Frequently asked questions
How do I become an Open Experience partner?
Via the contact page: briefly describe your solution and its use case in the construction phase. We will get back to you for an initial technical conversation.
Do the partner solutions cost extra?
Yes — partner solutions are licensed and billed by the partners themselves. Which of them you need and what your OX packages already cover is something we clarify in the demo call.
Can I also get the devices directly from Open Experience?
DIGIBAU 360 and Construction Webcam are available from us. For Construction Weather, we work with Cordulus. Skalice sets up tablets and smartphones, preconfigured with the OX applications.
Can I connect OX to my existing software?
For Microsoft environments, the Teams integration and single sign-on are available as add-on options for every package; beyond that, we evaluate interfaces on a per-project basis.
Where is the data of the partner solutions stored?
PAVE by PMG hosts exclusively in Germany; for the other partners, the respective provider contract applies. OX data always remains on German servers.
Where do your products come from?
From our own research projects with universities and institutes: digiBau (helmet camera system), ESKIMO (AI for construction execution), BIM-4-CARE (lifecycle) and the ongoing projects SmartMark and KRITIS3D.
See how it all works together — live on your project.
In the demo, we show where partner solutions dock on and where OX alone is enough.
