KPD strengthens leadership in construction software with acquisition of legal tech startup Publican.
Publican is renowned for its AI solutions that assist construction companies in analyzing tenders, minimizing risks, and reducing errors. This strategic acquisition aligns with KPD’s mission to support construction firms in managing complex processes and embracing the growing digitalization of the sector.
Tackling tender challenges with AI
Publican’s AI technology addresses the increasing complexity of the construction industry, focusing on identifying risks and compliance issues in tenders. Its digital assistant streamlines the tender submission process, ensuring efficiency and compliance. Already, Publican has proven its value with prominent players like Stadsbader Contractors, contributing to major projects such as Scholen van Vlaanderen, worth approximately €1 billion.
By integrating Publican into its KPD Tendering platform, KPD now offers clients a comprehensive toolset to manage projects while mitigating legal risks and errors.
Since 2021, KPD has been building a modular ERP solution tailored to construction firms, supported by Green Park Investment Partners. Serving over 350 clients, including Artes Group, Besix, and Cordeel, KPD continues to focus on solutions that help companies manage risks, maintain efficiency, and protect margins.
