Stuttgart-based Qrago, a provider of software solutions in the field of healthcare logistics and patient transport, announced today the successful completion of a Seed financing round of €2.7 million to expand its reach in the DACH region and grow its portfolio.
The new investment was led by venture capital funds āltitude and MobilityFund and completed by existing investors including Segenia Capital and capacura.
Alexander Kunze, Managing Director at Qrago said: “We are proud to have such strong investors by our side who are fully aligned with our vision. Our success shows how important efficient logistics solutions are in the healthcare sector. With this new financing, we will further develop our markets both horizontally and vertically – material and laboratory transports are just the beginning. We also see considerable potential in large-scale logistics for clinic networks. We plan to double our reach this year and enter the market in Austria and Switzerland.”
Founded in 2019 by Christian Ruff and Alexander Kunze, Qrago is a provider of software solutions in the healthcare sector that optimise the transport of patients, laboratory samples and materials.
The company works with over 200 clinics and 1,700 transport service providers and uses innovative technologies to enable efficient, cost-saving logistics. The Qrago platform offers, amongst other things, real-time transparency, dynamic tour planning and seamless integration into existing hospital information systems (HIS).
Qrago covers 10% of the German hospital market, processing more than 50,000 transports each month, highlighting its rapid growth and the increasing demand for reliable, digitally managed logistics solutions in healthcare.
In addition to the latest financing round, Qrago recently became one of the few providers in the market to achieve C5 certification by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
Dr Jan-Christoph Rickers, Managing Director at MobilityFund: “Our team was originally contacted by a competitor of Qrago. We immediately found the market attractive, but the solutions previously offered were inadequate. While conducting a competitor analysis, we eventually came across Qrago, whose product and team we consider to be stronger – that’s why we have now invested as part of the seed financing round.”
Ingo Drexler, General Partner at āltitude: “Our investment in Qrago reflects our confidence in the founding team, which convinced us with its deep industry expertise, an innovative solution approach for a market that has not been sufficiently digitized to date and its results achieved so far. With its specialized logistics platform for the healthcare market, Qrago has already established itself in a strong position, but we still see enormous growth potential for the company in the future.“
Qrago is also announcing new partnerships with leading companies such as Uber (transport) and Debeka (health insurance), which will further strengthen the company’s service offering and reach of its digital platform.
