Twinbase provides a cloud‑native interoperability platform that converts raw construction product data into machine‑readable Twin Documents anchored by permanent identifiers. Through its TwinSync service and TwinConnect API, manufacturers and suppliers can automatically propagate updates to BIM, ERP, and procurement systems in real time, supporting EU Digital Product Passport and CSRD compliance.

Problem
Construction product data is fragmented, inconsistent, and often outdated, causing planning errors, project delays, manual rework, and significant reporting gaps across the building lifecycle. Regulatory demands such as the EU Digital Product Passport and CSRD further require structured, traceable data that many existing workflows cannot provide.
Solution
Twinbase delivers a neutral interoperability layer that transforms raw product information into machine‑readable “Twin Documents” anchored by permanent identifiers. By exposing these documents through the TwinSync service, manufacturers and suppliers can push updates once and have them propagated automatically to all connected databanks. TwinConnect offers a standards‑compliant API that streams real‑time product data directly into BIM, procurement, and construction management tools, eliminating copy‑paste errors and stale records. The platform leverages Semantic Web technologies (RDF, JSON‑LD) and industry‑specific schemas to ensure data is both human‑ and machine‑understandable, supporting digital product passports and lifecycle‑wide digital twins. Cloud‑native hosting provides scalable, secure synchronization while maintaining audit trails required for compliance reporting.
Target Audience
Primary users are product manufacturers, suppliers, and PIM managers who need to keep catalog data synchronized, as well as BIM software vendors, architects, and construction contractors who consume accurate, up‑to‑date product information for design and procurement workflows.
Features
- Automated bidirectional sync (TwinSync) that updates product records across any number of external databanks with a single source change
- RESTful API (TwinConnect) delivering real‑time, schema‑validated product data in JSON‑LD/RDF format for direct integration with BIM, ERP, and procurement systems
- Unique, permanent identifiers (digital fingerprints) for each Twin Document, enabling reliable linking of product instances and types across the supply chain
- Built‑in support for EU Digital Product Passport and CSRD data models, including mandatory metadata fields and versioned audit logs
- Multi‑tenant cloud architecture with role‑based access control, end‑to‑end TLS encryption, and granular permission sets for manufacturers, distributors, and contractors
- Web‑based dashboard with webhook notifications, change‑set previews, and bulk import/export tools for efficient data governance
- Compliance with Semantic Web standards (RDF, JSON‑LD) and extensible industry ontologies, ensuring interoperability with existing standards such as IFC and Open BIM
