By Hervé Simonin, Klaxoon CEO, and Matthieu Beucher, Klaxoon Founder
Today, we are happy to announce that Wrike has entered into an offer agreement with Eurazeo, BPIFrance and Sofiouest, to acquire Klaxoon.
Wrike is the intelligent work management platform where anyone can build, connect, automate, and scale workflows so work flows without limits. With unmatched intelligence, versatility, flexibility, scalability, and security, Wrike breaks down the barriers that hinder modern work and creates new pathways to success. More than 20,000 customers do the best work of their lives on Wrike.
Klaxoon is a visual management tool and provides a single platform combining an infinite whiteboard and eight visual collaboration tools and services to global organizations.
With this acquisition, Wrike will combine creative visual management with their intelligent work management platform, creating an impactful solution that allows companies to drive even more efficiency in their workflows.
The Wrike platform is strengthened by its Work Intelligence® solution, which is transforming the way work is managed through AI-driven insights. Paired with our own advancements in AI for visual collaboration, we will accelerate the shift toward fully integrated, AI-powered workflows.
Unifying creativity and execution
Wrike and Klaxoon share a clear vision: a world where workplace collaboration isn’t just efficient, but frictionless. Wrike’s AI-enhanced work management capabilities paired with our visual collaboration offerings will allow teams to transform ideas into action, create high-level project views, and turn results into engaging meetings.
Our combined platform will empower teams across diverse industries like manufacturing and professional services, as well as departments ranging from marketing to training to PMO.
Organizations can expect enhanced end-to-end workflows, such as product lifecycle, client service delivery, training programs, and campaign management, that connect seamlessly and transform creative ideas into tangible results.
Thomas Scott, CEO of Wrike, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating:
The acquisition of Klaxoon will be a game-changer for the way teams collaborate, engage, ideate, and execute. This isn’t just about adding another tool to our platform—it’s about revolutionizing how work gets done, bringing creativity, engagement, and execution into one seamless experience.
Addressing the hidden costs of work complexities
One of the key insights from Wrike’s research report, “The Dark Matter of Work: The Hidden Costs of Work Complexities,” highlights the costly impact of unstructured work. When work is siloed across different applications, it leads to wasted time, project delays, and employee churn.
Wrike’s integration of Klaxoon aims to dismantle these silos, offering a streamlined workflow experience where creative ideas can easily be converted into concrete actions without switching between platforms.
Wrike CPO Alexey Korotich explains:
Not only will teams be able to collaborate and ideate on an infinite canvas, but also move those ideas through every phase of execution seamlessly, reducing manual work and making smarter decisions based on real-time data.
The road ahead
The acquisition is projected to close by the first quarter of 2025. Once finalized, Klaxoon will become an integral part of Wrike's operations, enhancing their product portfolio and solidifying their position as a leader in intelligent work management.
With this acquisition, Wrike and Klaxoon are poised to pave the way for a new era of workplace collaboration, breaking down barriers between digital work applications and creating an unparalleled end-to-end workflow solution for organizations around the world.
More to come!
