Business-critical software, built on an intelligent platform
One company, one strategy, decades of proven value.
Creating long-term value in AI-enabled industrial software
Forterro is a specialist industrial software company serving the businesses that power the modern economy. We’re building for the decades ahead – for our customers, for our colleagues, and for those invested in our future.
Our investors
Leading investment for sustained
and disciplined growth
Forterro is backed by Partners Group, one of the world’s leading global private markets firms, which acquired the business in 2022. Previous owner, Battery Ventures, retains a significant minority stake – reflecting continued confidence in the business. Together, this provides the patient, disciplined capital to support Forterro’s platform strategy, cloud and AI investment, and the next phase of our growth.
Our journey
Powered by great products, built by great people
Since 2012, we’ve evolved from a group of specialist acquisitions into a unified company with one strategic direction. Now, as we accelerate through Forterro 4.0 and beyond, we are turning our progress into a connected, platform-led model which scales innovation, further strengthens customer success and creates lasting business value.
One Forterro
Our strategy unites specialist products, local expertise and deep business relationships into a single organisation with one direction. The goal is not one product, it is one foundation from which every product, colleague and customer grows stronger.
One platform
MyForterro.ai is the platform through which cloud capabilities, AI innovation and continuous improvement are delivered across the portfolio. We build once, and scale the value everywhere.
One AI roadmap
As the software market explores the applications of AI, Forterro is focused on disciplined leadership – building the platform, governance and data foundations to scale AI responsibly. Industrial businesses want better outcomes, not bigger promises, and that’s why our continued demonstration of customer proof matters most.
Our results
A high-quality growth model
Business performance reflects sustained momentum, based on a high-quality recurring revenue model and a clear platform-led strategy. Forterro has trebled in size since 2021, and now supports more than 25,000 industrial customers served by 3,000+ employees – demonstrating the scale, resilience and relevance of our growth story.
In FY25, we reached the milestone achievement of €375m in revenue, supported by 16% sales growth and 114% net revenue retention.
The upward trajectory continues into 2026 and the launch of our Forterro 4.0 strategic chapter.
Built for industrial operations
A focused position in critical industrial markets
Manufacturers, distributors and specialised industrial businesses keep economies moving. They operate through highly specific processes, workflows and operational realities that demand deep understanding – and reward those who truly know the market. Forterro has earned that knowledge. We have partnered with these businesses through every wave of technological change. From mainframe to mobile. From the internet to cloud. And now, the adoption of AI.
Established as a leader in our field
AI will not reward generic solutions. In industrial software, it will reward those with deep domain knowledge, trusted customer relationships, embedded products, robust security strategies, and operational data at scale. We have built that position over decades, and we’re now turning it into practical, outcome-focused AI innovation. It’s what makes Forterro valuable today, and positions us strongly for the future.

The future of industrial software
