The cloud solution HERO is operated as a product and brand of HERO Software GmbH. From the heart of Hanover, we develop innovative, cloud-based software-as-a-service solutions (Saas) for craftsmen from Germany as well as other European countries and have grown continuously in recent years. HERO is in demand in craftsmen's businesses of various trades (roofers, painters, electricians, etc.) and is therefore regularly in use. We are proud to say that HERO Software is one of the most successful cloud software providers in the tradesmen market within the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). With the recently closed Series A funding, we will further accelerate our growth.
