Plancraft GmbH

Plancraft is a SaaS startup founded in 2019 in Hamburg offering a cloud app that digitises quotes, invoicing, and project management for tradespeople and technical service businesses (plumbers, electricians, construction firms). The product replaces paper-based processes and spreadsheets with a tool built specifically for the daily operational needs of small trade businesses, a segment traditionally underserved by enterprise management software. August 2025 brought a significant funding round: a €38 million Series B led by Headline, with participation from existing investors Creandum, HTGF, and xdeck, bringing the company's total funding above €50 million. The capital is earmarked for building AI-first tools that can autonomously handle tradespeople's repetitive tasks and for growing the team across multiple European countries. The expansion path saw the team double from 40 employees at Series A (June 2024) to over 100 today, with teams already operating in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Italy. In February 2026 the company further expanded its Austrian presence, strengthening customer acquisition in a market with characteristics similar to Germany's. Plancraft operates in the European trades digitisation market, a segment with still largely untapped structural demand: millions of small trade businesses across Europe continue managing quotes and invoicing with manual tools or generic software not optimised for their sector — a gap vertical software like Plancraft aims to close by focusing on ease of use and automating low-value tasks, freeing up time tradespeople can spend on fieldwork instead.
