Private equity firm backs commissioning software maker to speed product work and support
A growth-oriented private equity firm has made a strategic investment in a cloud software company that builds tools for the construction industry. The funding will add resources to speed up the company’s product roadmap, expand its customer support, and improve the overall customer experience.
Top-line: investment aims to boost product and support
The deal is intended to help the software maker accelerate development of features that track and verify building systems during construction and handover. The added capital will also be used to expand support teams so more project teams and building owners can get timely help when they use the platform.
What the company does
The company provides a cloud-based platform built to streamline commissioning and operational readiness work. Its tools let commissioning providers, general contractors, trade contractors and building owners track, document, and verify equipment and systems in real time as projects move through installation, testing and turnover.
Key benefits described for customers include improved construction quality, fewer delays from late-stage rework, easier compliance with project specs, faster turnover documentation, and increased profit margins due to better resource use and fewer errors.
Market and customers
The platform is used by more than 150 commissioning providers, general contractors, trade contractors and building owners. Customers work across sectors such as data centers, healthcare, higher education, life sciences, manufacturing, and energy. The tool is positioned for projects where system reliability and schedule certainty matter most, including hospitals, data centers and other high-stakes facilities.
Recent product work
Earlier this year the company announced major enhancements to its Operational Readiness platform. The update increased the platform’s ability to act as a single source of truth for tracking the status of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and to feed that detailed information back to schedulers and project managers. The company says the platform reduces the risk of late-stage unforeseen costs by providing real-time insights and clearer handover documentation.
Why the investment matters
The funding is aimed at three main goals:
- Speeding product development so new features reach customers faster and support larger projects.
- Expanding customer support to provide quicker help and onboarding for new and existing users.
- Deepening focus on delivery to help teams finish work on time and on budget through better tracking and handover tools.
Partnership and support
The investor is a San Francisco–based firm that focuses on growth-stage B2B software companies, especially those led by founders in vertical markets that have been underserved by technology. The firm manages more than $1 billion in assets and brings operating and investment know-how to help companies scale.
Legal counsel in the transaction included an established law firm that served as counsel to the investor.
Company comments and outlook
Company leadership framed the investment as a pivotal step to accelerate innovation and better serve customers. The company said it will keep delivering the reliable platform customers use today while investing in features, support and tools that aim to drive better outcomes on projects.
Background context
Industry data cited by the company highlights that a large share of commercial construction firms experienced delays or project abandonment in recent years because of unforeseen costs and rework late in the project. Software that centralizes documentation and offers real-time updates is intended to cut that risk by improving transparency and coordination among stakeholders.
How to learn more
The companies maintain public websites with product and contact information, and media or PR contacts were provided in the announcement for additional questions.
