HERO Software

Cloud-based ERP for trades contractors

Overview

HERO Software provides a cloud-based SaaS platform that serves SMEs in the skilled trades in the DACH region as an operating system for contractor businesses. It centralizes end-to-end workflows from initial customer contact and quotes to on-site work, invoicing, and final payment, with modules for project management, invoicing, scheduling, time tracking, document management, and employee management accessible on both office desks and construction sites. The product is tailored to trades, functioning like an integrated ERP for field-service operations, and its roadmap includes more financial features and third-party integrations. Its goal is to help trades businesses increase project throughput and improve operating margins by digitizing core workflows and expanding market presence, supported by a €40 million Series B funding.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • March 2026 product updates add Document Wizard and broader GAEB document creation.
  • July 2026 hackathon signals active engineering investment from Hannover headquarters.
  • 2026 partner program expands reach into photovoltaic planning, automation, and fleet tracking.

What critics are saying

  • HERO's 2024 €40 million Series B demands fast growth before 2027 liquidity pressure.
  • Product updates alone do not prove retention against crafts-ERP rivals like ToolTime.
  • Existential risk: trades digitization stalls, leaving HERO a niche workflow layer with weak pricing power.

What makes HERO Software unique

  • HERO bundles quotes, scheduling, invoicing, and field apps for DACH trades firms.
  • March 2026 Document Wizard reuses GAEB and reference documents, speeding contractor workflows.
  • Partner network with Make, Solar Monkey, and geoCapture deepens trade-specific integrations.
