2023 capped by customer growth, key leadership appointments and strategic partnerships.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Configit, the global leader in Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM), today announced strong momentum heading into 2024. Backed by Polaris Equity, Configit continues to solidify its leadership position for discrete manufacturers, with new product innovations, partnerships and a strengthened leadership bench.

Financial highlights for the past year include:

• An average compound annual growth of almost 30% over the last four years in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
• New subscription/SaaS business model implemented has secured a substantial part of next year’s revenues. Together with Configit’s normal level of consulting business more than 90% of 2024’s revenue can be considered secured at the start of the year.
• Expect to be Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) cash positive in 2024 as projected.

Bolstered leadership bench with key appointments:

• Hired Damantha Boteju as chief product and technology officer, to drive the company’s product development strategy. 
• Brought on Max Mirbaz as vice president of global partner business, with a focus on developing and enhancing global partnerships, driving strategic growth initiatives and strengthening the company’s market presence. Max previously played a pivotal role in the successful North American partnership between KETIV Technologies and Tacton.

In 2023, Configit expanded its flagship product, Configit Ace, with a cloud offering to empower manufacturers and service providers to regain control with a scalable, reliable enterprise-grade platform that provides a shared source of truth on product configuration information. The solution is now available through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. This availability enables customers to leverage the Microsoft validated SaaS solution on the Azure cloud platform for streamlined deployment and management.

Other product highlights:

• Achieved Unity Verified Solution status, with a codeveloped connector between Configit Ace and Unity Forma to provide manufacturers with best-in-class configuration and 3D visualization technology.
