Planima scales up: The proptech company takes the next step in its growth journey together with Monterro.
Monterro, the Nordic region’s leading B2B software investor, has acquired a majority stake in Planima, a high-growth Gothenburg-based software company offering a complete and user-friendly platform for strategic property maintenance. With Monterro on board, the company is aiming for an even faster pace of innovation, with product development and market expansion at the top of the agenda.
“We are very proud that since our founding in 2015, we’ve helped more than 5,000 organizations simplify and improve the planning of their property maintenance,” says Jens Björk, founder and CEO of Planima. “We have become the market leader in our niche by persistently challenging common ways of working, and we are now ready to accelerate innovation and development as we enter the next phase of growth.”
Planima enables proactive and cost-efficient property maintenance
Through strategic expertise, unique data assets, and a smart, user-friendly planning tool, Planima empowers property owners to maintain their buildings in a way that ensures predictability, lower costs, and clear sustainability benefits.
“Planima is a very impressive company with a strong culture, profitable growth, and a dedicated team,” says Erik Syrén from Monterro, who will become Chairman of the Board at Planima. “They have a proven value-creating product that delivers significant customer value, rapid ROI, and very high user satisfaction.”
Today, approximately 15,000 properties are managed in Planima, representing more than 5,000 property owners, ranging from public organizations and authorities to some of Sweden’s largest companies, such as Svenska Bostäder, AstraZeneca, Catena, Max Burgers, SKF, Sjöfartsverket, and Ikano Bostad.
Planima also collaborates and integrates with many other players in the industry and is a driving force in building a new digital ecosystem for property management.
“The fundamentals are in place, and we see great potential to expand both in Sweden and internationally,” said Erik Syrén. “To make this possible, we’re contributing not just growth capital, but also concrete tools, operational support, and our collective experience. This is just the beginning – and we’re really excited about the journey ahead.”
Monterro brings both capital and deep operational experience in scaling software companies
Monterro has extensive experience in scaling B2B software businesses. Two-thirds of the firm’s team has an operational background in the software industry, and Monterro has successfully supported and developed around 30 portfolio companies in their growth phase – including within proptech.
“We are thrilled to continue our growth journey together with Monterro. We strongly believe in surrounding ourselves with people and partners who bring the concrete experience and expertise needed to achieve our goals, and Monterro is a perfect match for us and our ambitions,” said Jens Björk of Planima.
With this acquisition, Monterro becomes the majority owner of Planima. The founders and operating owners will remain as significant shareholders.
