What is Kraaft?
Kraaft was established by Marc Nègre, Cédric Boidin, and Thomas Reygagne with an initial focus on streamlining factory communications. However, the company experienced organic growth on construction sites during the Covid-19 pandemic, leading to a strategic pivot in 2021 to exclusively serve the construction industry. Kraaft's platform addresses critical communication and field operations management challenges for construction companies, demonstrably improving profit margins and operational efficiency for its users in France. This pivot has positioned Kraaft as a key player in the construction technology sector, offering solutions tailored to the unique demands of the industry.
