The DICEUS founder began with code and built a business around insurance software. Now he is asking why growth so often comes with another spreadsheet, another handoff, and another hire.
Before PlanRadar, Sander van de Rijdt had already learned how companies grow, sell and sometimes close. His next venture began with a construction problem so ordinary that he wondered why it still existed.
An early software venture taught Ibrahim Imam to wait for the market. At PlanRadar, the Vienna-born entrepreneur found his opening in construction’s stubborn attachment to paper - then took the business to Dubai.
For more than 35 years, a bootstrapped software company outside Vienna has quietly run the letters, statements and claims of some of the world's largest banks and insurers - on one platform it refuses to break into pieces.
PlanRadar is a Vienna-based SaaS platform that digitizes construction and real estate project management. Its mobile and web apps let site teams pin defect and task tickets directly onto digital plans and BIM models, capture photos, video and voice notes, assign work, and generate reports - replacing paper checklists and scattered spreadsheets. Founded in 2013, it serves more than 170,000 users across 75+ countries.
