JDM Technology Group, a construction software group with businesses across North America, Europe and Australia, has acquired Dreeven Technologies, a Quebec company that makes a collaborative project management platform for builders. JDM announced the purchase from Montreal on October 29, 2026, and said the deal closed on October 23.
The companies did not disclose the price or any other financial terms.
Dreeven will keep its name, brand and identity and will run as a separate business inside JDM. Its existing leadership team and governance structure stay in place, and JDM said Dreeven will continue to develop and support its products over the long term.
What Dreeven built
Dreeven gives construction teams one platform for work that is often split between the office and the jobsite. Contractors use it to track site progress, produce daily reports, dispatch crews and equipment and manage timesheets. According to its website, the software also covers document sharing with permission controls, change requests and their effect on budget and schedule, jobsite photos, field reports, requests such as RFIs and deficiency lists, and access to construction plans on mobile devices. It has a separate set of tools for excavation contractors.
The product is aimed at general contractors, developers, project owners and field staff. JDM said more than 71,000 construction professionals use Dreeven every day, and that the company has an established customer base in Quebec. Dreeven describes its software as developed in Quebec.
Dreeven says its goal is to remove obstacles that slow construction work so that projects can be delivered faster. Its website sorts features by role, with separate tools for people who manage several sites and keep budgets and schedules under control, for owners who want clear reporting on their projects, for field staff who want less paperwork, and for partners who need to approve work with a full record or simply look up plans and project information. The pitch throughout is that data entered once on site should reach the office without being typed in again.
“Dreeven is exactly the kind of company we look for.”
The founders and the company
Dreeven is based in Longueuil, Quebec, and was founded in 2016 by Annie Chantelois and Philippe April, according to the company database Tracxn. Chantelois leads the business as president. Tracxn lists April as tech lead and co-founder, records no outside funding rounds, and estimated the company's staff at about 25 people as of August 2026. Neither Dreeven nor JDM gave a headcount.
The sale comes in Dreeven's tenth year. Earlier in 2026 the company announced a series of hires to support its growth, including a person to work on its artificial intelligence projects and another to lead communications and brand positioning.
"Becoming part of JDM Technology Group, a Canadian-based company, is a positive step forward for everyone," Chantelois said in the announcement, adding that Dreeven had been built alongside its team, customers and partners and would stay true to its identity.
Why JDM is buying
JDM builds business software for the design, construction, operations and maintenance industries. It says it has more than 18,000 customers in 40 countries and employs more than 700 people. Its construction portfolio already includes Explorer Software, Computer Guidance, Penta Technologies, RedSky IT and CSSP, among others, and the Dreeven purchase takes the group to more than 35 software companies.
The deal also deepens JDM's presence in Quebec. Dreeven is the third Quebec company in the group, after Maestro and Mobile-Punch. Like most JDM acquisitions, it will keep operating on its own while drawing on the group's resources and wider product range, Pulse 2.0 reported.
JDM did not say whether it plans to connect Dreeven with the group's other construction products or to sell Dreeven outside Quebec. The announcement described Dreeven's platform as used by construction teams across Canada.
"Dreeven is exactly the kind of company we look for," said John McFarlane, co-CEO of JDM Technology Group, who said Chantelois and her team had built a strong product and customer base and that JDM would back the company's further growth.
A long-term owner
JDM's pitch to founders is that it holds companies for the long term. Acquired businesses keep their brands and management and continue to run independently, while gaining access to the group's resources and its broader set of products. For Dreeven's customers, that means the platform they already use stays in place, with the same team behind it.
The deal also adds to a cluster of local businesses in a market where JDM is already present. With Maestro, Mobile-Punch and now Dreeven, the group owns three Quebec-based software companies, alongside its larger holdings in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.
