Bnh Software

BNH Software sells Windows desktop utilities and plug-ins for engineers, maintenance planners and field technicians. Flagship lines are “Amethyst” cable-scheduling, “Quartz” instrument management and “Onyx” heat-trace design packages; perpetual licences run USD 1 200–4 500 per seat, placing the brand in the mid-range for industrial software. All products are download-only, sold directly through the bnh-software.com store with optional 12-month support subscriptions. The company’s positioning is “single-purpose tools that replace spreadsheets in niche plant-design tasks.” Each module is built around international standards (IEC 60502, ISA 5.1, IEEE 515) and embeds a live parts database for major cable and heater vendors, cutting calculation time that generic CAD still requires. Version-control and PDF report export are automatic, a combination that has made the Amethyst cable scheduler the best-known title in its narrow category. Buyers are small to mid-size EPC firms, system integrators and owner-operators in oil & gas, chemicals and power who need compliance documentation but lack full-time IT staff. They value BNH’s policy of perpetual licences, offline operation and 24-hour e-mail support from the same developers who wrote the code, aligning with capital-project cultures that avoid subscription bloat and cloud risk. Competitors are either broad-suite CAD/CAE platforms with high recurring fees or free vendor spreadsheets that lack traceability. BNH differentiates by offering standalone, standards-specific tools that install in minutes, import/export to Excel and AutoCAD without middleware, and cost less than one week of engineering labour.
