Investor invests in PROBIS

We are delighted to announce that the Stuttgart-based early-growth investor ENGELHARDT KAUPP KIEFER & Co. (EKK & Co.) is investing in PROBIS.

EKK & Co. contributes over two decades of expertise in corporate investments and product scaling, thereby assisting PROBIS in securing expanded market share throughout Europe. This initiative involves consolidating resources and specialized knowledge from the PropTech and FinTech domains to enhance the PROBIS software and introduce new SaaS modules. The platform will be meticulously adapted to meet the specific requirements of diverse user groups. The overarching goal is to transform PROBIS into a comprehensive platform featuring an individually configurable suite of modular solutions, including "Calculation" and "ESG" functionalities. The synergistic collaboration between PROBIS, an established leader in multi-project controlling, and EKK & Co. presents substantial opportunities for the real estate sector and its digital transformation.

Roman Loch, Managing Director of EKK & Co.: 'We invest in founders and support them in successfully implementing their business models. Our entrepreneurial, hands-on approach, which we have successfully applied for 20 years, serves as the foundation. We are enthusiastic about the objective of digitizing the real estate and financial industries, thereby realizing PROBIS' vast growth potential. Our aim is a long-term investment across all corporate development stages.'

Moritz Koppe, Managing Director of PROBIS: “The entry of EKK & Co. is the logical continuation of our expansion strategy of recent years – the partner is a perfect fit for our company, both professionally and personally, as is our existing shareholder mantro. With this investor's involvement, we will continue to grow and provide customers with additional cloud features. This will be achieved long-term across Europe, especially in large-scale projects where PROBIS can particularly leverage its strength as multi-project controlling software, providing all stakeholders with real-time data.”

Manfred Tropper, Founder & CEO of mantro: “We observe that the digitalization of the real estate industry has gained momentum, especially during the crisis. As part of our buy-and-build strategy, our approach involves, among other things, elevating promising companies to the next level with our expertise and market understanding. With investor EKK & Co., we see enormous potential in PROBIS for achieving shared goals. Through our experience from over 25 company formations and our existing solution portfolio in the Real Estate/PropTech market, the collaboration with the other shareholders extends far beyond technical implementation. We are working together to establish PROBIS as the standard solution for construction cost controlling in the market.”
