zvoove Group acquires Fortytools: two software providers for cleaning services are joining forces

zvoove extends its portfolio of digitalization solutions to smaller cleaning service providers and continues its M&A strategy with this additional acquisition.

LOHNE, Germany and AHRENSBURG, Germany, Jan. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- zvoove Group, the market-leading provider of digitalization solutions for temporary staffing and cleaning service providers in Europe, is expanding its position in the segment of smaller cleaning service providers through the acquisition of the start-up company Fortytools. zvoove's current ERP solution for cleaning service providers offers a range of features that is unique in the market as it enables cleaning service providers to digitalize all of their business processes – from recruiting to payroll. Up to now, zvoove's offering was primarily targeted at medium and larger cleaning service providers. With the acquisition of Fortytools, zvoove is now also tapping into the segment of smaller cleaning service providers by offering an innovative SaaS solution.

Fortytools is a modern, digital control and management software that enables clients to easily prepare offer documents and invoices as well as manage their order processes and staff, deploy planning and improve time recording.

Around 500 companies and 5,000 users are currently working with the Fortytools app.

"As market experts, we often hear from smaller cleaning service providers that they are interested in a sleek solution that can be quickly implemented", says Oliver Muhr, CEO of zvoove Group. "We are very pleased that the acquisition of Fortytools will enable us to provide an easy-to-use and intuitive ERP-SaaS solution to these businesses. Fortytools is the perfect addition to our existing product portfolio."

Sebastian Gauck, founder of Fortytools, explains: "Our vision has always been to make the benefits of digitalization available to smaller businesses. We aredelighted that we can concentrate on this even more in the future with the help of zvoove's great expertise. I am particularly pleased that our clients will benefit directly from this thanks to new solutions for quality management and recruitment and that we will soon be able to offer them complete payroll services."

zvoove: Consistent growth and strengthening of the cleaning service business segment
After acquiring the Dutch start-up company Leviy in 2021, the acquisition of Fortytools is a further step for the zvoove Group on its path to consistent growth in the area of cleaning services.
