Everfield, a prominent European long-term investor and growth accelerator, announced its acquisition of Frontu, a leading provider of field service management software. This strategic acquisition marks Everfield's first venture into Lithuania and its third in the Baltic region, further solidifying its position within the European software ecosystem that caters to B2B clients.

About Frontu

Founded in 2013, Frontu has established itself as a key player in the field service management sector. The company offers a modern cloud-based platform that enables businesses to efficiently manage their service and maintenance operations. By streamlining end-to-end workflows, Frontu’s software facilitates the entire process—from receiving customer service requests to creating work orders and ensuring timely delivery and resolution.

With its solution employed by hundreds of clients across 16 countries, Frontu has become a trusted partner for several prominent heavy machinery manufacturers, including John Deere, JCB, Manitou, Hitachi, and New Holland. These partnerships highlight Frontu's strong presence in sectors such as agriculture, material handling, construction, and forestry. The acquisition by Everfield is poised to enhance Frontu’s growth trajectory and customer base as the company seeks to expand its footprint throughout Europe.

Vision for Growth

Arūnas Eitutis, the CEO of Frontu, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "We’re just getting started. With Everfield by our side, we’re ready to expand our leadership in the growing field service management market across Europe, especially in the industrial equipment sector." He emphasized the technician-first approach of Frontu’s platform, which is already trusted by numerous clients, indicating readiness to extend its market reach.

Frontu’s software offers a versatile combination of a mobile application for field service personnel and a web application for administrative management. This dual functionality supports more than 20 languages and provides customers with a range of APIs and integrations that enhance operational flexibility. Under Eitutis’s leadership, Frontu will continue to operate from its headquarters in Kaunas, Lithuania.

Everfield's Commitment to Growth

James Moore, the Acquisitions Country Manager for Everfield in the UK and Ireland, highlighted his excitement for the partnership, remarking, "From our first meeting with Arūnas, we were excited by his bold vision for Frontu." He acknowledged the company’s exceptional growth over the past three years and expressed anticipation for its continued success within Everfield's ecosystem.

Moore further noted that Frontu’s innovative cloud solution is not only feature-rich but also highly scalable. This scalability has enabled Frontu to secure a leading market position in the Baltics, and Moore emphasized Everfield's commitment to supporting the company as it seeks to expand into additional European markets.

Henning Schreiber, another key figure at Everfield, reinforced the strategic fit of Frontu within their growing ecosystem. He commented, "Frontu's dedication to solving impactful challenges for their customers stood out, and we continue to support their growth." This acquisition is part of Everfield’s broader strategy to build a workforce management vertical, leveraging Frontu's advanced capabilities.

A History of Successful Acquisitions

Everfield’s acquisition of Frontu marks the company's 21st acquisition to date and its second within the field service management domain, following its acquisition of Depotnet, a UK-based company, in 2023. Everfield operates under a decentralized model, allowing acquired companies to retain their teams, brand identities, and customer bases post-acquisition. This approach fosters an environment where acquired companies can thrive while benefitting from Everfield’s resources and expertise.

The acquisition of Frontu by Everfield represents a significant step in the expansion of both companies within the European software market. By integrating Frontu into its ecosystem, Everfield not only enhances its offerings but also strengthens its commitment to supporting innovative solutions in the field service management space. As Frontu looks to broaden its reach and deepen its impact in the industry, the collaboration promises to create new opportunities for growth and success in the evolving landscape of B2B services.
