When using Aproplan for your field reports, you may also rely on Bricsys 24/7 (formerly known as Chapoo) to centralize all your documents. It would be highly beneficial if both platforms were synchronized, ensuring a single source of truth across both systems. This is now possible.
What Are the Benefits?
No more time wasted to transfer plans from Bricsys 24/7 to Aproplan.

All of the documents with you at all time on Aproplan even the .dwg, .xls, along with the other 70 formats that Bricsys 24/7 supports.
What Data Will Be Synchronized Between LB Aproplan and Bricsys 24/7?
Plans and documents that are put into Bricsys 24/7 will be synchronised to Aproplan automatically and without any effort.
