How it works
Aceve Design Systemv3.7.0 · Sprout Live

Built for thebuilders of society.

Sprout is the design system behind every Aceve product — one shared vocabulary for the construction and skilled-trades industry, from a Norwegian electrician's planner to a Dutch contractor's calculator.

The why's

Three reasons Sprout exists, in order of importance.

01
Built to unify.

Aceve owns 30+ products across the Nordics, Benelux, Germany and the UK — many acquired, each with its own history. Sprout is the connective tissue: one shell, one toolbar, one drawer, one feeling.

02
Designed to scale.

From a Norwegian electrician's service planner to a Dutch contractor's cost calculator. Tokens flex, components don't fork. Adding a 31st product should feel like adding a tab, not starting over.

03
Accessible to everyone.

Construction sites come with broken thumbs, glare, gloves and dim cabins. WCAG AA is the floor. Keyboard parity is non-negotiable. Dark mode isn't a preference — it's a working condition.

Three pillars

Built for dense, professional work

The product paradigm in one paragraph.

Ribbon-style productivity software

We design for professionals doing structured project work — estimators, site managers, installers, service planners. Closer to Excel than to a consumer app. Sprout commits to that paradigm: ribbon tabs, grouped toolbars with labelled footers, an always-visible vertical sidenav, a dense data grid and right-side drawers. The same shell scales from a Norwegian electrician's service planner to a Dutch contractor's cost calculator.
