OneCrew secures $3.25M to modernize paving with the first end-to-end platform, connecting estimating to scheduling and beyond
San Francisco, US - November 11, 2024: OneCrew, an end-to-end business management software platform designed for asphalt and concrete paving contractors, today announced the close of a $3.25 million seed funding round led by Entourage and Bienville Capital, with participation from Alaris Capital.
Founded in 2022, OneCrew simplifies complex workflows for paving businesses by integrating tools for CRM, estimating, scheduling & dispatch, job costing, and more into a single platform.
Built specifically for contractors, OneCrew provides an end-to-end solution for managing operations from the office to the job site, empowering paving companies to streamline their processes, improve efficiency, and boost profitability.
“At OneCrew, we’re committed to helping paving contractors unlock the full potential of their operations by providing them with tools that are designed to address their unique challenges,” said Ari Bleemer, founder and CEO of OneCrew. “Our platform is more than just software; it’s a comprehensive solution that allows contractors to manage everything from estimating costs to tracking performance and crew productivity. By better leveraging estimating data, we’re paving the way for contractors to focus on what they do best—completing high-quality jobs—while OneCrew takes care of the rest.”
Since launching, OneCrew has gained traction with top contractors across the U.S. and Canada in the asphalt and concrete paving sectors, with users reporting up to a 75% increase in bid speed while also improving accuracy, as well as more effective job and personnel management.
"From our first investment in OneCrew nearly three years ago, we've watched the team build what we believe is an exceptional platform while earning the trust of industry-leading customers. We're thrilled to continue supporting them as they work to drive transformative change in the paving industry with modern, powerful software solutions," says Blake Bennett, Partner at Bienville Capital.
The platform’s ease of use has also proven valuable for businesses that want to avoid the complexity of juggling multiple software systems.
“Our industry is changing to accelerate the usage of software like OneCrew. We have a generation of owners now ready for retirement or sale that have held their businesses together single-handedly,” says Jason Dunn, CEO of DACS Asphalt & Concrete. “The way to be able to continue to grow in this industry is to use systems to deliver your product consistently while keeping up with all the details, which is exactly what OneCrew delivers.”
This funding round will enable OneCrew to accelerate product development around higher complexity jobs, add new features supporting contractor relationships with customers and subcontractors, and expand its user base throughout North America.
Pieterjan Bouten, General Partner of lead investor Entourage, added, “We are excited to lead this seed round in OneCrew, a groundbreaking platform transforming the paving industry with its data-driven, end-to-end solutions. OneCrew’s ability to scale the estimation process and provide accurate, real-time insights while streamlining operations for construction companies has already demonstrated impressive growth, and we believe their vision and innovative approach position them to become an industry leader. With Ari and Max’s leadership, we’re confident they can continue scaling rapidly and are thrilled to support their ambitious growth trajectory.”
OneCrew is available through a subscription-based model and offers pricing to accommodate businesses of various sizes. The company’s growth so far has been driven by a focus on solving real-world challenges in the paving industry and building a product that addresses contractors’ most pressing pain points.
