€2.6m · Other round · Software · Madrid, Spain
Cofrai, a Madrid-based software company for fire-protection maintenance businesses, has raised €2.6m in a funding round led by DFF Ventures, with Swanlaab Venture Factory joining. Cinco Días reported that the capital will reinforce commercial and customer-support teams and support international expansion, particularly in Latin America. Alongside the round, Cofrai acquired online training and certification provider Arte & Comunicaciones Avanzadas (A&C).
The new round follows a €2m seed financing announced in September 2025, also led by DFF Ventures. Tech.eu classifies the latest financing as Other rather than assigning a named venture stage.
Software and training converge around compliance
Cofrai sells a vertical operating system for companies that install and maintain fire-protection equipment. Its platform brings customer records, inspection planning, technician routes, field work, invoicing and regulatory documentation into one workflow. The company also handles onboarding, data migration and staff training, which matters in a market where technicians work across customer sites and every inspection must leave an auditable record. Cofrai says its automation can remove much of the administrative work around quotes, contracts, invoices and certificates, although those efficiency claims remain company-reported.
The A&C acquisition extends that workflow from recording compliant work to preparing people to perform it. In Cofrai’s account of its October PCIX event, A&C had trained more than 12,000 students over 15 years. Cofrai plans to make short training modules, progress records and certifications available inside the software used by technicians and office teams.
Commercially, that combination can deepen Cofrai’s role inside a customer. Scheduling and billing software is useful, but training and certification are recurring operational needs in a regulated trade. Bringing both into one system can make the customer relationship broader and give Cofrai more opportunities to sell services around the core subscription. The dependency is integration: the training record has to remain reliable and practical for field teams rather than becoming a separate content library attached to the product.
A 1,000-customer target raises the execution bar
Cofrai told Cinco Días that it has about 200 customers, a team of roughly 35 and operations in Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Chile. It aims to reach 1,000 customers by 2028 and expects to hire about 15 people over the next two years, mainly across sales and customer service. That plan puts implementation capacity alongside product capability: expansion depends on migrating operational data, training users and supporting local workflows as the customer base grows.
DFF Ventures describes the attraction as a lightly digitised, compliance-heavy vertical where software can reduce administrative cost and regulatory risk. Swanlaab’s participation adds a new investor to the round, but the acquisition is the sharper strategic signal. Cofrai is using fresh capital not only to sell the same product more widely, but to assemble more of the operating infrastructure that fire-protection contractors rely on.
