Munich, Germany — July 2026 — Maguar Capital announces that its portfolio company, shyftplan, has acquired Scable AG (ScableOne), a leading German provider of smart factory software for shop floor management and maintenance.
With the acquisition, shyftplan adds highly complementary shopfloor capabilities to its AI-supported workforce management platform, creating the foundation to support industrial customers end-to-end, from planning through to day-to-day operational execution. Scable’s software is trusted by leading industrial customers and addresses a large, growing market driven by the digital transformation of manufacturing. By combining workforce management and shopfloor execution, industrial customers are able to move seamlessly from workforce planning to day-to-day execution.
“When Lukas and I first spoke about workforce planning and the shopfloor, it became clear within minutes that we were describing the same thing from two different directions. Getting the right, qualified people to the right place at the right time — and then enabling them to deliver their best on the shopfloor — is not a software stack. It is production management as it should be. Together with Scable, we can now offer our customers exactly that, thought through as one integrated whole.” — Farhood Torabian, CEO of shyftplan.
“Production management is people management — a machine only runs when the right people, materials, and orders come together. shyftplan plans the qualified team; ScableOne turns that into results on the shopfloor. Together we help our customers achieve more output per hour worked, without the stress. And for our customers, nothing changes in day-to-day operations: ScableOne continues with all its functionality, the same team, and the same contacts. It only gets bigger from here.” — Lukas Morys, Founder and CEO of Scable.
“shyftplan and Scable share a clear conviction that the future of manufacturing is human-centric. By combining AI-supported workforce management with shopfloor execution, the companies are building the software backbone for the smart factory. We are excited to support this platform as it expands into further mission-critical workflows over time.” — Matthias Ick, Founding Partner at Maguar.
