Coredinate secures follow-on financing

New investor MWN Equity Investment and Bayern Kapital Innovationsfonds ERFE take stake

Coredinate, a software-as-a-service (Saas) company based in Uffenheim, Bavaria, has successfully closed a €1.9 million financing round. Alongside existing investors such as High-Tech Gründerfonds, Bayern Kapital has invested in the firm once again – this time using funds from its innovation fund BayernKapital Innovationsfonds ERFE, which replaces SeedFonds Bayern, the vehicle used for its previous investment. Stadtbergen-based MWN Equity Investment GmbH is now also on board as a new investor. Coredinate intends to invest the money in advancing product development and stepping up its sales and marketing activities.

Coredinate’s SaaS solution enables maintenance, security and cleaning firms to optimise daily work processes with the help of innovative guard tour patrol systems. It offers improved verification of checkpoints and employee tasks, enables occupational safety to be monitored with GPS functionality, and comes with an integrated time management system. All applications can be managed on a smartphone. Automatic reports are sent to service providers and their clients with the help of real-time data transmission.

“Coredinate’s SaaS solution is an ideal example of digitalization in action in traditional industries such as security and maintenance. Since our seed investment, renowned companies including Miele, POND Security, W.I.S and Wincor Nixdorf have become Coredinate clients. Thanks to the company’s team of industry veterans and the additional investment, Coredinate’s assistance system will become an industry standard,” says Chiara Sommer, Senior Investment Manager at High-Tech Gründerfonds.

“With our new investor MWN Equity Investment on board and with the support of our existing investors, we will be able to advance product development and add functions, for instance,” explains Michael Kulig, co-founder of Coredinate alongside his brother, Sebastian Kulig. “In addition, we’ll also benefit greatly from our investors’ expertise when establishing sales networks across a range of countries. This will enable us to raise the profile of our software beyond German-speaking countries.”
