Welcoming our new Investors

"We believe industrial after sales is entering a fundamental transformation. As machines become increasingly connected and customer expectations around uptime continue to rise, traditional approaches to service operations will no longer be sufficient. ClearOps is building the operational intelligence layer needed for this next era - combining AI, data, and execution into one platform. We see a large market opportunity and believe the team is exceptionally well positioned to define this category."
‍
-Pete Bastien, Partner Hitachi Ventures

"Global service and supply chain networks are becoming increasingly complex, yet many critical processes are still managed through fragmented systems and manual workflows. We believe the future belongs to intelligent, connected platforms capable of coordinating complex networks in real time. ClearOps combines deep operational expertise with a scalable technology platform, laying the foundation for the next generation of industrial service networks."
‍
-Christoph Schoeller, CEO, Schoeller Group

"ClearOps was built around a belief we have held for years: after sales remains one of the largest untapped opportunities in industrial businesses. It is where profitability, customer loyalty, and operational excellence come together - yet much of the industry still runs on fragmented systems and manual processes.

We have supported ClearOps from day one because we saw both the scale of the problem and the opportunity to build a fundamentally new operating model for after sales. Today, with AI and connected ecosystems becoming reality, we believe the company is uniquely positioned to define the future of how manufacturers and dealer networks operate globally."
