APU + accounting ERP vs. AI operating system
Neodata combines unit prices (ConstruBase database) with an administrative and accounting ERP, and is strong when the focus is administrative control across several projects. Matterial shares that APU and budgeting core —with OPUS parity— but puts AI and the blueprint at the center. Where Neodata gives you accounting depth, Matterial gives you operational depth with AI: quantify the blueprint, tie the budget to the project, voice journal, receipt and CFDI OCR, and the copilot. And for the accountant, Matterial exports journal entries (CONTPAQi, Aspel) from the project’s real spend.
Migrating from Neodata to Matterial
Matterial imports OPUS and price catalogs in Excel and CSV, so you bring your matrices and inputs, and projects and suppliers are loaded to operate from day one. You add the layer a classic ERP does not bring: AI blueprint takeoff, tenders with letters and official exporters, income-vs-expense forecast and a copilot over your data — without losing the per-project control you already had.

Frequently asked questions
Is Matterial an alternative to Neodata?
Yes. Matterial is an AI operating system for construction companies that covers estimating, unit prices, scheduling, purchasing, site journal, collections and tenders in one platform, so it can replace Neodata for many teams — especially in Mexico and Latin America.
How is Matterial different from Neodata?
Matterial adds AI blueprint takeoff (DWG/PDF → budget), an OPUS-parity unit-price engine, public-tender exports and an AI copilot over your own project data — capabilities that are rare or absent in most tools in this category.
Can I migrate from Neodata to Matterial?
Matterial imports OPUS files and price catalogs and supplier quotes from Excel/CSV, so you can bring your budgets and prices across instead of starting from scratch.
How does Matterial's pricing compare to Neodata?
Matterial charges per organization with unlimited users on higher plans and meters only the AI you use, published transparently — rather than per-seat or quote-only pricing common in the category.
