We are a Basel start-up and develop our software as a service here. At the very beginning, we received a request from a timber construction company that wanted to convert its magnetic board into software. Since then, we have continuously developed our tool in close cooperation with our pilot customers. Vanillaplan has been on the market as a B2B solution in the German-speaking region since January 2019, in 2020 we hired our first employees and in 2021 we were already able to complete our integration platform Vanillaplan Fair. We are constantly expanding our product range with the latest IT technologies.
About us
Since 2019, we at Vanillaplan have had just one goal: to renew scheduling and capacity planning.
We create a software solution that is easy and intuitive to use. Which is based on state-of-the-art technology. That offers answers to the daily challenges in the construction industry. Our software facilitates deployment and capacity planning and brings more joy to planning for all users.

Our story
Through our products, we create a better working life.
This is what we stand for
Our mission
We are developing a software solution for the construction industry that is simple, intuitive and visual. It contains all the functions you need to actively manage your construction processes - and yet is easy to use without the need for lengthy familiarisation. We know the construction industry and are aware of the challenges that arise in day-to-day work. Finding an answer to this - and implementing it using state-of-the-art technology - is what we want. To develop a solution that makes planning fun and maximises efficiency. That is our most important incentive, every day.
For you
However, a strong product is only one thing - a product without the right service is only half as useful. To ensure that our solution offers you real added value, we attach great importance to the combination of effective online processes and personal support: we ensure fast, direct and efficient processing and at the same time conduct webinars and our support in person to always find a personalised answer to your questions.
Our values
Curiosity
We are and remain curious every day about ourselves, other people, technologies, the world.
Courage
We dare to try new things and accept every challenge.
Fun
We enjoy what we do.
Authenticity
We are sincere and respectful to ourselves, to you and to the environment.
