mexXsoft X2

mexXsoft X2 is an established industry ERP from mexXsoft GmbH, headquartered in Haßloch in the Palatinate region with a second site in Berlin. The product targets the German construction trades, civil-engineering trades (Baunebengewerbe) and craft trades, and covers typical processes from quoting and measurement (Aufmaß) through site management and site controlling to final invoicing in a single system. This positions mexXsoft X2 as a serious alternative to generic Mid-Market (mid-market) ERPs, which lack the depth in GAEB (the German standard for electronic data exchange in construction), REB-Aufmaß (the German calculation rules for performance measurement, REB 23.003) and construction-site costing that the building trades require. The vendor has specialised in software for construction and craft businesses for many years and offers the platform in multiple editions — Easy, Standard, Premium, Pro and Enterprise — so that the solution scales from sole traders to mid-market construction organisations.

Functional sweet spot

mexXsoft X2 covers the full spectrum of a modern craft and construction ERP. In sales, quotations, order confirmations, orders and invoices are available with full GAEB support in the standard product. In construction execution, measurements according to REB 23.003, lump-sum contracts, hourly contracts and mixed contract forms can be modelled. The costing module covers material, labour, equipment, subcontractor services and overheads. Site management, hourly recording for site staff and a subcontractor module complement the picture. The functional sweet spot is the integrated quote-to-cash workflow for construction trades where GAEB exchange with public-sector clients, REB-compliant measurement and the production of warranty-secure final invoices are operational requirements that horizontal ERPs cannot cover without significant industry adaptation.

DACH positioning

mexXsoft X2 is a Tier-3 specialist on the DACH market, anchored in the construction-and-craft niche rather than as a horizontal ERP. The product's competitive position rests on the depth of construction-specific functionality — GAEB, REB, VOB (the German construction-contracting code) — and on regional partner relationships within the German Mid-Market construction industry. GoBD-compliant bookkeeping (the German principles for proper digital record-keeping), DATEV connector for the German tax-adviser exchange standard, and ZUGFeRD and XRechnung e-invoicing are part of the standard scope, with XRechnung particularly important for construction trades that work with public-sector clients where XRechnung has been mandatory since 2020. Deployment is available as cloud, on-premises or hybrid, with on-premises remaining the default for established construction businesses.

Pricing and implementation

mexXsoft offers the platform in multiple editions (Easy, Standard, Premium, Pro and Enterprise) with pricing scaled by edition and user count. List prices are not published, but indicative pricing for the standard Mid-Market-construction edition typically falls between approximately 50 and 120 euro per user per month. For an indicative 25-user mid-market construction firm, all-in five-year TCO usually lands between approximately 150,000 and 400,000 euro, depending on deployment model, edition and customisation. Implementation timelines for a focused construction scope run four to nine months, materially shorter than retrofitting a horizontal ERP with construction-specific GAEB and REB capabilities. The pre-configured construction scaffolding is the key differentiator and the main reason the implementation is faster than alternatives.

Selection considerations

mexXsoft X2 is a defensible choice for DACH construction and craft businesses between approximately five and one hundred users where GAEB, REB and VOB compliance are core requirements and the buyer prefers a pre-configured industry product over customising a horizontal ERP. It is less compelling for very small one-person craft businesses where lighter craft-specific tools (such as Plancraft or craftboxx) cover the workflow at lower TCO, for upper-Mid-Market construction groups above approximately 100 users where vendors such as Nemetschek Bau or Brz provide more depth and integration with CAD, or for buyers whose primary requirement is industrial-manufacturing capability rather than construction-site workflow. The selection of edition and partner matters considerably; the implementation outcome depends heavily on the partner's familiarity with the specific sub-trade.

Comparable vendors

Direct comparables in the DACH construction-ERP space include Nemetschek Bauleitung (Allplan and related products) and Brz for mid-market and upper-Mid-Market construction, KWP for HVAC and trades, and BAUER INTEGRA ERP for upper-Mid-Market construction. On the lighter SMB side, Plancraft, craftboxx and Streit V.1 address craft trades with simpler workflows. For specific sub-trades such as electrical (TopKontor Trades & Crafts) or HVAC (Sander & Doll) there are highly specialised products. mexXsoft X2's differentiator is the breadth of construction-and-craft coverage in a single product combined with scaling editions, which suits buyers in the mid-market where neither the very simple craft tools nor the heavy upper-Mid-Market products fit cleanly.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Is mexXsoft X2 cloud-based or on-premise?

Deployment options vary by vendor — many systems today offer both variants or a hybrid model. Details on the pros and cons can be found under Cloud ERP vs on-premises. On-premise remains relevant above all in regulated industries and where deep customising is required; cloud, by contrast, dominates new projects from the mid-market upwards.

Who is the vendor behind mexXsoft X2?

Vendor master data (headquarters, employee numbers, ownership structure) can be found in the vendor profile above. These factors are important for assessing the future viability of an ERP vendor and should be checked in every selection process. Owner-managed vendors score with continuity, while listed companies offer investment security and greater roadmap stability.

Which reports and dashboards does mexXsoft X2 offer?

Standard reports cover financial accounting, sales, warehousing and production. Custom dashboards via Power BI, Tableau or built-in BI tools are often optional — see business intelligence. Self-service BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau or Qlik are increasingly integrated directly, enabling users to run their own analyses without help from IT.

Which AI features does mexXsoft X2 offer?

Current ERP systems integrate AI for forecasting, anomaly detection, invoice OCR and conversational UI (Microsoft Copilot, SAP Joule). The specific AI modules are shown in the vendor profile. AI modules with practical relevance today include demand forecasting, predictive maintenance, invoice OCR and conversational UI for back-office staff.

How does mexXsoft X2 compare to SAP?

SAP is the market leader for large corporations; in the mid-market there are numerous leaner alternatives, often with deeper industry expertise. For specific comparisons, see the ERP comparison pages. SAP solutions offer the greatest functional depth but are more expensive to customise than their mid-market competitors.
