What it is

Mulcol International is a Netherlands-based manufacturer of passive fire-stopping products. Its website also offers a set of digital tools for building fire-protection engineering, including Multiselector, Datamanager, and Projectmanager. Strictly speaking, it is not a general-purpose business SaaS product, but a vertical industry toolset built around Mulcol fire-stopping products and European-standard tested solutions.

Core capabilities

Multiselector is used to quickly find certified fire-stopping products and solutions, making it suitable for confirming applicable methods before design and construction. Datamanager is a digital logbook that can record fire-stopping locations, photos, documents, and floor-plan annotations, with support for downloading, printing, and sending materials. Projectmanager is aimed at the design stage, with an emphasis on reducing costs and generating clear project documentation. The FAQ indicates that Datamanager supports desktop as well as iOS/Android apps; the desktop version is more fully featured, while the mobile version is mainly for viewing and editing.

Collaboration, data, and deployment

Datamanager supports multiple users and allows permissions to be assigned by user type. Each company has a main account and can add an unlimited number of users. The system uses a cloud-based central database and also supports offline work: users need to download floor plans while online first, then add, view, and save annotations offline, and sync once the connection is restored. The desktop version can export floor-plan annotations as CSV files for use in Excel. On security, the official materials state that Mulcol makes every effort to protect cloud data, follows its privacy policy, and does not share data with third parties. By default, Mulcol cannot access projects unless the user grants permission for support purposes. However, the main content does not disclose security certifications, data regions, backup mechanisms, or more detailed compliance information.

Pricing

The FAQ clearly states that Data Manager and Project Manager are free to use, and users can also request tool training. Product pricing, commercial purchasing terms, paid plans, and payment methods are not disclosed.

Pros, cons, and who it is for

Its advantages are that the tools are free, the industry use case is clearly defined, and it supports permissions, offline use, and exports, while being closely tied to product documentation and training. The limitations are that its general SaaS capabilities are limited: there is no visible API, third-party integrations, or developer support; the mobile version is less capable than the desktop version; and offline mode also has limits on duration and the number of annotations. It is best suited for building owners, installers, fire-stopping construction teams, and engineers who need to select compliant solutions during the design stage.

Access from China

The main content does not provide information on access from mainland China, nodes, or localization, so actual availability is unknown.
