Vienna/Munich, February 15, 2023 – Round2 Capital has invested a seven-figure amount in Actindo, a digital operations platform used by leading companies such as Nintendo of Europe and ABUS. Round2’s innovative revenue-based finance approach for growth-stage companies is more accessible than bank loans and offers more attractive terms than venture capital. As a result, companies can quickly support their growth without having to give up shares. The Round2 portfolio includes 27 leading technology and software scale-ups in Europe, such as Logsta, Avallain or Vainu.
Cloud ERP pioneer Actindo is preparing for rapid growth in composable commerce. The previously self-funded company with a 14-year history is using the fresh capital on a revenue finance basis to expand its award-winning MACH-based product offering for enterprise companies, further strengthen its international market position and expand its partner network without having to give up shares.
Actindo is the first MACH Alliance certified Digital Operations Platform (DOP) for a holistic unified commerce approach and is used by leading global companies such as Nintendo of Europe, ABUS, Mondelez and Braun Büffel. The platform is at the heart of composable or headless architectures for the orchestration and automation of data streams and content and supports brands, retailers and manufacturers in optimizing their customer journeys, successfully implementing customer requirements using a low-code approach and making their existing IT infrastructure fit for digital business models.
Boris Krstic, the co-founder and CEO of Actindo, explains: “Covid was the initial spark for the digital transformation. Many companies therefore want to adapt their business processes accordingly. The problem, however, is that the traditional IT infrastructure is not made for implementing composable commerce, i.e. the flexible compilation and integration of different “best-of-breed” software into a suitable overall solution. Creating a unified customer experience and managing multiple software vendors, as well as orchestrating data, microservices and functionality between them, is a major challenge for many enterprise companies. Instead of siloed and labyrinthine integrations with API tools, our platform brings ERP business logic, data, content and order management together on one platform in state-of-the-art MACH technology. This allows companies to reliably continue to operate their existing IT, and with Actindo they get a holistic solution and single source of truth for their entire business.”
Stefan Nagel, Managing Partner at Round2 says: “The Actindo team has done an incredible job over the last few years, innovating the product, building an impressive customer base and establishing themselves as a fixture in the ecosystem. We are now looking forward to helping them launch the next phase of the company’s growth.”
