Belgian construction tech Spotable raises €4M for international expansion

Ghent-based construction tech company Spotable
has raised €4 million in seed funding to further develop its platform and
accelerate its expansion across Europe and the United States. The round was
arranged by investment broker The Harbour, with investors including Jonas
Dhaenens of team.blue, Christophe Morbee of NewSchool.vc, and the family office
of Hilde Cloostermans and Philip Corens. Arne Vandendriessche, former CEO of
Signpost and recently appointed CEO of Get Driven, is also participating.

Founded in 2024 by Sebastien Vandendriessche
(CEO), Julie Dumoulin (CRO) and Pieter-Jan Philips (CTO), Spotable initially
developed software to help small roofing companies streamline measuring and
quoting. The founders launched the first version of the platform three months
later and began selling it commercially a year ago.

Spotable is targeting manual processes in the
construction industry, where roofers can spend an average of eight hours per
project measuring buildings and preparing quotes. The company says many quotes
are still created in Excel and require tradespeople to visit potential projects
in person before knowing whether they will secure the work.

Software for roofers wasn’t exactly the
obvious foundation for an international technology company eighteen months ago.
That’s precisely where we saw an opportunity: giving contractors technology
that’s fast, reliable and easy to use. No more paperwork, just real results,

said Sebastien Vandendriessche, co-founder and CEO of Spotable.

Starting with a building’s address, Spotable
uses geographic data and artificial intelligence to digitally measure the
structure and create a 3D representation. The platform can then calculate
quantities, link materials and prices, generate quotes and support the process
through to ordering.

The technology has expanded beyond its initial
focus on roofers to connect contractors, distributors and building material
manufacturers. Contractors can use the platform to calculate requirements and
prepare quotes, while distributors can integrate their product ranges and
pricing, and manufacturers can make their products available within the
tradesperson’s decision-making process.

With the new funding, Spotable plans to further
develop its product and accelerate its international expansion. Following its
growth in Belgium and the Netherlands, the company is targeting larger European
construction markets including France and Germany, where it plans to onboard
more construction companies and establish partnerships with distributors and
manufacturers.

Spotable is also expanding into the United
States, where it has already tested its technology at trade fairs and
established its first commercial presence.
