About us
e-Chantier is a B2B SaaS platform that gives SMB construction companies one place to run their sites — team, materials, finance, documents, and client visibility. Built and live in production (not a slide-deck MVP), we replace the Excel + WhatsApp stack with mobile-first workflows, a beneficiary portal, and Maistru AI on real site data. MAREA ÎNCĂRCARE S.R.L. (Romania) is raising €250k pre-seed to land our first 15 paying customers.
The problem
Construction sites today operate on dated systems like Excel, WhatsApp, and paper, which lack real-time visibility for directors and clients. Key processes such as time tracking, material management, and financial oversight are fragmented across separate tools, leading to inefficiencies such as delays, stock leakage, and manual invoicing. For SMB builders, who often can't afford complex legacy ERP systems, this results in significant margin erosion monthly.
Our Solution
e-Chantier offers a unified platform covering every aspect of construction site management. Our multi-tenant SaaS solution integrates sites, team, attendance, inventory, and finance systems, while offering a beneficiary portal for clients to track progress in real time. With a mobile app designed for field teams and Maistru AI for data-driven insights on-site, our solution streamlines operations and enhances efficiency. The platform's design supports six languages, facilitating immediate expansion into the EU market.
Market Opportunity
With construction digitization accelerating across Romania and the EU, e-Chantier is positioned uniquely to capture a market with over 200,000 construction companies in Romania alone. Our platform addresses the SMB gap where no full-stack local solution currently exists, offering a cost-effective alternative to expensive, generic ERPs. Through partnerships with material depots, we can leverage existing distribution channels for seamless integration and rapid market adoption, paving the way for expansion into larger EU markets like Germany, Italy, and Spain.
Business Model
e-Chantier operates on a B2B SaaS subscription model, offering tiered pricing plans ranging from a free tier for trials to enterprise solutions for large fleets. Revenue is further bolstered through upselling opportunities like dedicated hosting and fleet GPS, as well as future expansion into marketplace commissions and payment rails. This structured approach not only addresses the needs of SMB contractors but also scales with growing firms, providing a sustainable revenue stream.
Traction and Milestones
To date, e-Chantier has developed a production-ready application, offering a comprehensive suite of tools from HR to fleet GPS. Although the current MRR is €0, we have engaged in active partnership discussions with material depots to bolster our market entry. Our goal within the next 12 months is to secure 10-15 paying companies, reaching an ARR of €15–25k. Additionally, our strategic plans include launching our app on the Google Play Store and establishing two active channel partnerships to expand our user base.
