History
[edit]Planon was founded in 1982 by Pierre Guelen and rapidly grew to become the computer-aided facility management (CAFM) software market leader in the Netherlands. In the late 1990s, Planon began to expand abroad.[4][5] The software has been repeatedly rated as global market leader by analyst reports such as Verdantix,[6][7][8] IDC MarketScape,[9] Gartner[10] and Frost & Sullivan.[11]
In 2020, it was announced that the French multinational company Schneider Electric would take a minority stake in Planon.[12] In 2024, Schneider Electric signed an agreement to increase its stake in Planon to a majority interest of 80%.[13]
In 2023, Planon and SAP announced that they have formed a strategic partnership with Planon.[14]
In May 2024, Peter Ankerstjerne (former Chief Strategy Officer) was named as the successor to Pierre Guelen as CEO, set to take over in June 2024, following the founder's 42-year tenure.[15]
