Planon: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Planon is a software provider for real estate, facility and workplace management. Its software supports the management of buildings, spaces and facilities, and the company positions it as smart building management software. Alongside its products, Planon offers cloud services and operates offices and legal entities in several countries. Its headquarters is in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

In July 2024 Schneider Electric, a French group headquartered in Rueil-Malmaison, agreed to raise its stake in Planon to a controlling 80 per cent. Planon has since announced that the transaction has been completed. If the transaction has completed, Planon is a Dutch company with a French majority owner, so strategic decisions sit outside the Netherlands. The website does not state where cloud customer data is hosted or refer to a GDPR data processing agreement, so these points should be confirmed in the contract.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Planon

Planon is headquartered in NL and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in FR, also within Europe.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Planon scores best on data residency.

Planon is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Planon together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
