ClearOps banked €8.6M in Series A funding to scale its AI-powered platform for industrial after-sales. The round was led by Hitachi Ventures, with participation from Schoeller Group and Barkawi Group. This investment represents the Munich-based company’s first round of institutional capital.
The startup provides an enterprise SaaS platform that connects industrial original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), dealers, and service partners. By aggregating data across fragmented global service networks, the technology assists in parts planning and predictive service operations. It integrates with existing infrastructure to coordinate workflows between manufacturers and their dealer networks in real time.
Current clients using the platform include industrial manufacturers such as AGCO, Terex, Jungheinrich, and Lippert. The company reports that its software helps increase parts availability and reduces machine repair times. The new capital is earmarked for global expansion, go-to-market efforts, and the further development of its automated orchestration capabilities.
As industrial supply chains face increasing pressure for uptime, European manufacturers are turning toward data-led orchestration layers to replace manual after-sales procedures. This shift reflects a broader trend of digitising the "hidden" profit centres of traditional heavy industry through specialized vertical SaaS.
