ProPlanner empowers construction jobsite teams with a modern
scheduling and planning platform to improve collaboration between
general contractors and trades to keep projects on time and within
budget.
SAN
FRANCISCO, June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- ProPlanner (formerly Ipsum), a web-based and collaborative
construction technology platform, announced today that it has
raised $2.7 million in funding led by
global software investor Insight Partners. The round included
participation from The Haskell Company's venture capital arm
Dysruptek, Suffolk Technologies, STO Building Group, Thornton
Tomasetti and several construction tech founders including
Riggs Kubiak from Honest Buildings
and Meirav Oren from Versatile.
ProPlanner plans to use the funding to grow its customer base,
expand its go-to-market team, and enhance the platform's
cutting-edge capabilities.
ProPlanner is a collaborative cloud-based construction
scheduling and planning platform utilized by general contractors on
hundreds of construction projects in over 10 countries. The
platform replaces legacy software tools that are generally not
cloud-based nor collaborative, preventing jobsite teams from
working together in real-time on one of the most important parts of
the project – the schedule. ProPlanner gives general contractors a
web-based, easy-to-use platform to empower teams in the field to
plan better and keep their projects on time. It seamlessly connects
their project schedules with weekly lookaheads and work plans, and
seamlessly integrates with other platforms, such as Procore, to
enable relevant documents such as RFIs and soon Submittals to stay
in sync with the schedule.
"For too long construction teams have struggled to keep projects
on time. As we dug into the problem, we learned they were using
software that isn't up to date with today's needs and siloes
information on desktops, resulting in schedules and lookaheads that
are immediately stale and obsolete. From day one we have been
focused on bringing a modern, collaborative, and integrated
solution to help everyone on a project stay on schedule. This
latest investment only accelerates our ability to serve more
project teams," said Franco
Giaquinto, ProPlanner's CEO.
"ProPlanner has modernized a critical part of the construction
process and has already disrupted the construction scheduling
market. With a user-friendly platform that integrates key project
management tools and supports both pre-construction planning and
schedule tracking, ProPlanner already has strong feedback from
early adopters," said Nikitas Koutoupes, Managing Director at
Insight Partners. "We look forward to partnering with the
ProPlanner team as they continue to grow and scale up."
ProPlanner was founded as Ipsum more than five years ago in
Latin America with Cemex Ventures
as an early investor. Now relaunched as ProPlanner, the company has
pivoted to a product with a different approach to address a bigger
market. ProPlanner has been partnering with general contractors
across the continent and has the potential to be the next standard
for scheduling, bringing about the next generation of construction
project management.
