SokoPro and Vektorio Initiate Collaboration to Elevate BIM Model Previewing

SokoPro has introduced a new BIM Viewer feature as part of its existing cloud solution. This BIM Viewer is powered by Vektor.io Embedded, a product developed by Vektorio Oy. Vektor.io Embedded is an integrable component for clients’ cloud services, enabling users to view extensive combined models within their familiar interface. 

Users can preview these combined models directly in SokoPro without the need for separate viewing software. The new BIM Viewer offers market-leading performance and user-friendly functionalities that assist in model examination. Features include intuitive navigation within the model, measurement tools, querying of model object properties, and the addition of cutting planes, all now accessible within SokoPro.

“Vektorio is a rapidly growing and agile domestic software company that brings significant added value to SokoPro users through its expertise and offerings. We showcased the new BIM Viewer feature at a trade fair in Munich in late November and to major Finnish construction industry players in December. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many existing customers expressing that this addition was highly anticipated. Particularly, the ease of use and the service’s compatibility across all devices have been praised. Many also recognize that the combined offerings of SokoPro and Vektorio allow for a reduction in the number of software tools needed, as achieving a similar setup currently requires multiple programs, and data transfer between them isn’t entirely seamless,” says Rasmus Vainio from SokoPro.

“This is undoubtedly good news for Finnish construction industry professionals. SokoPro is the undisputed market leader in providing project bank services in Finland, and we offer a browser-based BIM Viewer that is unparalleled globally in terms of performance and usability. Furthermore, our collaboration will later provide even more added value to customers as we develop integration between SokoPro and Vektor.io Projects. The goal is to make the user experience as smooth as if they were using a single software,” states Teemu Nivell from Vektorio.
