The People Behind Poolar

Since 2007, we have been committed to developing digital solutions that make day-to-day construction work easier and prove their worth in practice. This commitment is driven by a team that closely combines practical construction experience, software development and a customer-focused approach.

We develop our software in-house, provide advice on its use in projects and support its day-to-day operation.

Our team comprises people from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, including architects, software developers and many specialists from service-oriented professions. They have the ability to listen, quickly grasp requirements and develop tailor-made solutions through direct dialogue with clients.

This creates a continuous cycle of practice, feedback and further development.

This Is How We Work.
Every Day.

Cooperation

We don’t just work alongside one another; we work together. As a team. With clients. With partners. Directly, honestly, respectfully.

Reliability

We want to do a good job – and we want to do it properly. That means high quality and clear agreements. For reliability in everyday life.

Appreciation

Everyone has their own strengths.
Just like in a band, this comes together to form something greater than the sum of its parts.

Respect

We treat everyone with respect and dignity. Regardless of who we work with or what role they hold, we always treat them as equals.

Culture of Error

And if something goes wrong? Then we’ll talk it through. We’ll take responsibility, learn from it and do better next time.

We believe that diversity is our greatest asset. Our company is made up of many different minds and diverse perspectives. Different experiences, skills and backgrounds help our products to thrive and reach our customers and users every day.

Grown Step by Step

The founders: Klaus Schwägerl and Dr Matthias Friedle
The founders: Klaus Schwägerl and Dr Matthias Friedle

2007–2012

The Idea and the New Beginning

Klaus Schwägerl and Dr.-Ing. Matthias Friedle, architects and engineers respectively, are developing a user-friendly software solution for collaboration on construction projects. A milestone in this phase is one of the first large-scale projects, involving the management of over 120,000 planning documents. From 2012, Poolarserver becomes multi-platform compatible, with the launch of the first app for Poolar.Project. The GbR is converted into a GmbH; the groundwork for the next phase is laid.

2013–2022

Growth and Structure

The company is gradually becoming more professional: the team is growing into clearly defined departments (Development, Customer Support), processes are being structured, and the focus is shifting towards integrated workflows. We move into our central premises at Milaneo. BIM is becoming a key topic across the industry. New features such as BCF Issues and Poolar.Office as a second app are added to our portfolio.

2023–present

Shaping the Future

New ownership structure and management; the founders remain active on the advisory board. A new office is opened in Switzerland, and Poolar becomes the new brand. Our team grows to over 60 staff. Poolar.Project is reimagined: with AI voice and image recognition – smarter, faster, more intuitive.
