Investor overview · Werfvolt by Arcadian

The operating system for construction subcontractor chains.

Every European job site runs on layers of subcontractors — and on the compliance, hours and invoices that flow between them. Werfvolt is the vertical SaaS that runs the chain: from onboarding a subcontractor by VAT number to a paid, Peppol-ready invoice.

The problem

The most regulated corner of EU construction runs on Excel

Subcontracting chains carry legal obligations at every link. Getting them wrong is not an inconvenience — it is joint liability, blocked payments and fines.

Chain liability (30bis)

Pay a subcontractor with social-security or tax debts without withholding, and the debt can become yours. Every invoice requires a debt check and the correct retention.

Presence registration

Checkin@work presence registration on regulated job sites — per worker, per day, across companies that share nothing but the site address.

Posted workers

Cross-border crews need A1 and LIMOSA declarations that match reality on site. Enforcement is tightening across the EU, and inspections happen on the werf, not in the office.

The product

From werf registration to a paid, compliant invoice

One platform for clients, subcontractors and their crews — each org sees its own side of the same chain.

The loop the whole chain shares

Onboard a subcontractor by VAT number, keep every worker's compliance status current, and turn approved hours into Peppol e-invoices with the correct retention — automatically.

Distribution

The chain onboards itself

Werfvolt is not sold seat by seat. A client onboards its subcontractors, because it needs their compliance status before anyone sets foot on site. Each subcontractor brings its own crews — and its other clients.

Every new organisation joins with its counterparties already on the platform. Distribution is a property of the product, not a sales team.

Why now

Regulation is the tailwind

Three forces push the whole market onto software at once.

E-invoicing is mandatory

Structured Peppol e-invoicing between Belgian businesses is required as of 2026. Paper and PDF invoices are no longer an option — every subcontractor needs tooling.

Enforcement is tightening

Site inspections, presence registration and posted-worker rules are converging across the EU. The cost of informal administration keeps rising.

Chains are getting longer

Labour shortage pushes construction toward cross-border subcontracting. More layers, more languages, more compliance surface — more need for one system of record.

Traction

Built by operators, live in production

Arcadian runs its own electrical job sites and subcontracting chain on Werfvolt — design partner, first customer and daily user in one. Every feature is field-tested before any client sees it. Key metrics are being audited and will be published here.

Business model

SaaS first, payments next

Recurring revenue from the chain today; the money that flows through it tomorrow.

Subscriptions

Per organisation and active worker — every layer of the chain is an account, and the chain keeps adding layers.

Payments layer

Retention-correct payouts between the links of the chain, on top of the invoices the platform already creates. Roadmap.

Compliance monitoring

Continuous debt checks and document expiry monitoring as a subscription upgrade for the whole chain. Roadmap.

The people

Operators, not tourists

The team designs electrical systems, runs the job sites — and builds the software in between.
