Tradespeople use voice-enabled and AI-driven construction software on site.
Hamburg, Germany, August 14, 2025
Hamburg-based SaaS Plancraft closed a €38 million Series B to accelerate development of AI-driven and voice-enabled tools for contractors across Europe. The funding will expand product and AI capabilities, hire engineers and product specialists, and grow operations in multiple markets. Plancraft’s cloud platform digitises quotes, orders, time tracking and site documentation, pairing digital workflows with voice-first interactions and a roadmap toward AI agents that automate quoting and customer follow-ups. Serving over 20,000 tradespeople across 11 countries and employing 100+ staff, the company plans further hiring to support faster product iteration and regional expansion.
Plancraft GmbH, a Hamburg-based software business founded in 2020, has closed a €38.0 million Series B round in August 2025. The round was led by Headline, with participation from existing backers Creandum, HTGF and xdeck. The new funding brings total financing for the company to more than €50 million.
The company will use the funds to accelerate development of its cloud-based platform and to scale across Europe. Key areas of investment include hiring product and AI specialists, expanding teams in new countries, and building out automated, proactive features that reduce routine administrative work for small trade businesses. The firm plans to move from current voice-enabled workflows toward broader AI automation and software agents that can manage customer interactions, generate tailored quotes and optimise day-to-day operations.
Plancraft offers a cloud platform that helps tradespeople digitise common office tasks. The tool handles quote creation, order documents, time tracking, project planning and site documentation. It combines workflow tools with a voice-first approach so workers can access information and update jobs by speaking rather than typing. The roadmap points to fuller AI automation, where the software will proactively manage customers and produce business paperwork with minimal user input.
The company says it already supports more than 20,000 customers across 11 European countries. Since a Series A round in June 2024, the headcount has grown from about 40 people to over 100 employees, with teams established in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Italy. The business plans to hire further product and AI staff to meet expansion goals.
The construction and skilled trades sector in Europe faces several headwinds that make productivity tools appealing. Many firms are small — nearly 95% have fewer than 20 employees — while the industry also deals with an aging workforce, skills shortages, and a push for climate-related renovations. Construction is a major emitter globally, and larger efficiency gains are viewed as necessary to handle workload and environmental targets. Plancraft positions its software as a way to let tradespeople focus on hands-on work while shifting administration to smart tools.
The lead investor is Headline, a global venture capital firm with offices in several world cities. Headline focuses on technology businesses with international ambition and invests across stages. The firm described the investment as driven by the product traction, customer adoption and potential for AI to reshape an otherwise traditional industry. Existing investors Creandum, HTGF and xdeck also took part in the Series B.
Plancraft was founded by three entrepreneurs and is led by a co-founder who acts as chief executive. Another co-founder serves as chief product officer. Leadership frames the company mission as creating space for people in the trades by building the software backbone needed for small construction firms to operate more efficiently.
The financing round was announced in August 2025. The company will allocate funds to product engineering, AI research, hiring and market expansion across Europe. The longer-term plan includes evolving the platform from voice-enabled features to autonomous AI agents that can perform administrative tasks on behalf of tradespeople.
This Series B is intended to help a specialised SaaS company move faster on AI tools for small construction businesses, scale its presence in European markets and hire talent to deliver on a voice-first, automation-driven product roadmap.
