Crowdfox looks back on a positive year 2021. In addition to numerous projects with well-known customers and the expansion of both our customer portfolio and product, other special moments of the year 2021 are in the focus.
Looking back, Managing Director Dirk Schäfer states:
“We can look back on a very successful year: The projects with our existing customers were significantly advanced, new customers were acquired and, above all, we also successfully further developed the functionalities of our solution. There will also be updates in the coming year that will once again significantly improve Guided Buying and enormously enhance the user experience.
I would especially like to thank our great team – without whom the entire achievements of Crowdfox would not be possible. Likewise, I would like to express my gratitude for the trust of the shareholders, who have once again expressed their confidence in Crowdfox through the capital increase.”
Our Highlights 2021
Procurement Summit
The trade fair and conference for innovation and digitalization in purchasing took place this year in Berlin. Crowdfox was also represented and had the opportunity to hold a master class this year. Together with Dr. Philipp J. Böckmann, Head of Digital Marketplaces & Consumables, Indirect Procurement, from BASF, the numerous listeners were shown the common path and explained which savings and advantages BASF could realize by using Crowdfox.
Capital round of 5 million completed
At the end of the year, Crowdfox completed a further capital round of EUR 5 million. This was subscribed exclusively by existing shareholders. The capital will be used to drive forward the expansion strategy.
Crowdfox belongs to the TOP 100 innovative companies
Every year, the TOP 100 innovation competition honors the most innovative companies in Germany. Crowdfox scored highly in the area of “Innovation-promoting top management” and was awarded the TOP 100 seal. Managing Director Dirk Schäfer is convinced of the innovative strength: “The Crowdfox team has created a sensational solution that enables an unprecedented level of transparency, process efficiency and comparability.”
Employees collect donations for those affected by the floods
Crowdfox has not only seen the extent of those affected by the floods in the media, but also some of the employees come from affected regions. Therefore, Crowdfox employees decided to join forces and donate money together. Frits Verheesen, CFO, decided to double the amount collected in order to provide fast and unbureaucratic help.
German digital B2B platforms
With the 4th edition of the handbook “German Digital B2B Platforms”, the BDI once again publishes 110 innovative Business-2-Business platforms. The handbook presents platforms that make the German economy more digital and sustainable with their applications. Crowdfox is also one of these platforms and has been included in the new edition.
Donation instead of Christmas gifts
This year, Crowdfox has once again decided to forego Christmas presents and instead donate the associated money to a charitable cause. This year, the Christmas donation will go to the Helping Hands Cologne e.V. association from Cologne. The association has been committed to helping the homeless and needy in Cologne since 2014. The association offers help in your weekly cold and supply walks throughout the year.
