About 4PS
4PS makes construction enterprise software built on Microsoft Dynamics, handling estimating, project accounting and service management for contractors. Hilti acquired the Dutch group in 2023, its largest software purchase by goodwill, and changed 4PS's governance structure during 2025. Together with Fieldwire it is the reason a company known for drills now reports software as a distinct growth engine.
