GAEB-Online 2014

The German abbreviation GAEB stands for "Gemeinsame Ausschuss Elektronik im Bauwesen" [Joint Committee for Electronics in the Construction Industry]. Public and private customers, architects, engineers and the construction industry in Germany are represented at GAEB by their respective umbrella organisations. GAEB promotes the use of data processing in the German construction industry. This involves the creation and revision of standardised documents for describing construction services, the development of a service specification, and process descriptions for electronic billing of volumes and construction work.

The new GAEB-Online 2014 software by the company gaeb-online in Walzbachtal enables tenders in accordance with the GAEB standard to be transferred in one click directly to Microsoft Excel for further calculations, for example. The Windows programme GAEB-Online 2014 can also be used with every other Office suite. Calculations can be done in OpenOffice or LibreOffice and direct transfer is always possible with the new software. Users can now perform all calculations in the spread sheet to which they are accustomed without changing systems or moving outside their comfort zone. Once the calculations are completed, the unit price is transferred via GAEB-Online 2014 out of Excel to the defined tender in the existing format. Ulrike Braun of gaeb-online describes the advantages of the innovative software "Our GAEB-Online 2014 solution connects the Office world with GAEB tenders and is an excellent and favourably priced addition to every workshop".

Ulrike Braun of gaeb-online sells software on the topic of GAEB tenders. In recent years electronic data exchange has become inseparable from the working world of skilled craftsmen. In the areas of tenders and offer preparations, the GAEB interface has become established for the exchange of service specifications and associated offers. Almost all current, commercial software solutions and tender programmes in Germany work with this interface which, among other things, permits simple data exchange between planner and workshop. GAEB-Online products are already used by more than 5,000 customers for rapid calculations with MS-Excel®, for example, and for electronic tender submissions in the GAEB DA84 format.
