Hamburg SaaS firm plancraft raises €38 million Series B to scale AI, voice-first construction software across Europe

A Hamburg-based construction software company has secured €38 million in a Series B financing round led by a global investor, bringing the firm’s total funding to more than €50 million. The cash injection will be used to speed product development, expand operations across Europe, and hire more product and AI specialists to support growth.

What the funding will do

The company plans to use the funding to widen its commercial footprint across European markets and to accelerate innovation on an AI- and voice-first platform for contractors and tradespeople. Current product work focuses on giving workers the ability to get answers by voice while on site, with a clear roadmap toward greater automation. Future development aims to build AI agents that can manage customer interactions, create custom quotes, and optimise on-site and back-office operations so skilled workers can spend more time on craft and less on paperwork.

Scale and traction

The company reports that more than 20,000 tradespeople across Europe are already using its tools. Since raising Series A funding in June 2024, the team has grown from about 40 people to over 100 employees. Regional teams are already in place in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Italy, and hiring plans focus on product managers, machine-learning engineers, and other AI specialists to support the next stage of expansion.

Investors and lead backer

The Series B round was led by a major international investor, with participation from existing backers including several well-known European venture firms and growth investors. Backers cited strong customer adoption and a clear strategy to transform how skilled trades operate as reasons for backing the round.

Market context

The investment arrives as Europe’s construction sector faces rising pressure from aging workforces, persistent skills gaps, and urgent climate retrofit mandates that require both speed and efficiency. These structural challenges are pushing companies to find tools that reduce administrative burden and improve productivity on site. The startup positions its voice-first, AI-centred approach as a direct response to those pressures, aiming to reduce time spent on paperwork and speed key processes such as quoting and client communications.

Product direction and roadmap

Current features centre on voice-enabled workflows that let workers ask questions and receive answers while they work. The product roadmap outlines a move from these voice-first features toward full AI automation, including autonomous AI agents that can take over routine interactions, draft personalised quotes, and suggest operational improvements. The stated aim is to make software so intuitive that the only skill required from users to interact with it is their voice.

Leadership and team growth

The company was founded by three industry veterans who have led the product and technical direction through rapid team expansion over the last year. Management says recent hires and new hires planned for the coming months are focused on accelerating AI work and extending the platform to more European markets.

Why this matters

The move highlights two trends: a push to bring AI to traditionally manual trades, and growing investor interest in tools that promise to reduce administrative overhead in sectors hit hard by labour shortages. By focusing on voice-first interactions and AI agents tailored to fieldwork, the startup is betting it can unlock productivity gains where other software has struggled to win adoption.

Timing

The company announced the funding on 14 August 2025. The new capital follows a Series A round in June 2024 and marks a rapid growth phase for the business as it scales operations and product capabilities across the continent.
