History

Planon was founded in 1982 by Pierre Guelen and rapidly grew to become the computer-aided facility management software market leader in the Netherlands. In the late 1990s, Planon began to expand abroad. The software has been repeatedly rated as global market leader by analyst reports such as Verdantix, IDC MarketScape, Gartner and Frost & Sullivan.
In 2020, it was announced that the French multinational company Schneider Electric would take a minority stake in Planon. In 2024, Schneider Electric signed an agreement to increase its stake in Planon to a majority interest of 80%.
In 2023, Planon and SAP announced that they have formed a strategic partnership with Planon.
In May 2024, Peter Ankerstjerne was named as the successor to Pierre Guelen as CEO, set to take over in June 2024, following the founder's 42-year tenure.
