Metacom

ERP software from Dutch firm VanMeijel for construction, infra and related sectors, from estimating and planning to finance and invoicing.

Our take: Metacom is an ERP system built around projects rather than around an accounting package: VanMeijel describes the project as the starting point, with the financial administration following from it.

What it really isMetacom: VanMeijel's ERP package for construction, infra and related companies in the Netherlands.
Our takeMetacom is an ERP system built around projects rather than around an accounting package: VanMeijel describes the project as the starting point, with the financial administration following from it.
It is aimed at Dutch contractors in civil engineering, demolition and recycling, and building construction, and VanMeijel says more than 250 companies use it. It pairs with BizzStream, VanMeijel's low-code platform, for custom processes.
Why we rate itMetacom covers the whole project cycle of a construction or infra company, from estimate to invoice and reporting, in one system made for that sector, with named customers such as VolkerRail, Van Oord and Plegt-Vos.
The catchNo public pricing, a Dutch-language website and an ERP-style implementation.
It is built for the Dutch construction market, so it fits poorly elsewhere.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • Dutch civil engineering, infra and building contractors
  • Demolition, waste and recycling companies that need waste management in their ERP
  • Firms replacing separate estimating, planning and finance tools with one system
Not good for
  • Companies outside the construction and infra sector
  • Teams that need an English-language product and website
  • Small teams that want self-serve sign-up and published prices
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Slow: ERP onboarding with data migration, configuration, and training required before live use.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Costs are quoted per company, and VanMeijel mentions per-user pricing for smaller firms, so expect cost to depend on the number of users.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: cloud platform centralizes data; exports available but workflows are tightly coupled to Metacom.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
