Berlin-based ARC Intelligence, a software company developing an AI-native finance platform for
enterprises, has raised €4 million in a seed funding round led by 42CAP.
Existing investors 468 Capital and IBB Ventures also participated in the round.
ARC is building
an AI-native Finance OS that connects ERP, CRM and other enterprise systems
into a single platform, providing finance teams with a real-time view of
financial and operational data. The company aims to help organisations reduce
reliance on fragmented data, spreadsheets and manual reporting, enabling faster
decision-making across complex business operations.
According to the
company, its platform has supported more than 200,000 business decisions and
helped save over 100,000 hours of manual work within six months. Since raising
its pre-seed round around a year ago, ARC says it has increased revenue tenfold
and now works with customers including Burmester, Pfanner Schutzbekleidung,
Ferrotec, OCONO Group and Robert Bürkle, as well as private equity firms such
as Auctus Capital and GENUI.
The future
of enterprise software won’t come from replacing existing ERP systems. It will
come from intelligently connecting data, processes, and decisions across
systems.
That’s exactly what we’re building with ARC – an AI-native Finance OS
that gives companies a central control layer across their existing systems and
evolves into the operating system for ERP-intensive businesses,
said Clemens Wessendorff, CEO and co-founder of ARC Intelligence.
The fresh
capital will be used to expand product development, add further ERP
integrations, strengthen the engineering team and support international
expansion. Over the longer term, ARC aims to develop its platform into an
AI-native operating system for ERP-intensive businesses.
