About Frontline
Frontline, registered as Frontline Industrial Software, is a Singapore-based company that develops planning software for the construction industry. Its cloud-based tools let project teams build and stress-test schedules by simulating thousands of alternative plans, choosing activity sequences and resource allocations, drawing lessons from past projects and monitoring risks before and during work. Clients are in the industrial, energy and infrastructure sectors, and chief executive Luis Martinez has said that international contractors including Ferrovial and Kajima use its products for project planning. The company was founded in 2021 by Luis Martinez and Ricky Ding, who is also named as Ruiqi Ding in some coverage. Martinez has said he previously worked on project planning and execution at Shell and Repsol before joining an accelerator programme in Singapore in 2021, where the company took shape. In June 2023 Frontline announced a USD 700,000 seed round led by Cocoon Capital, as reported by TechNode. CB Insights lists Plug and Play Ventures and the CEMEX Ventures construction start-up competition among its other backers. The startup is the subject of other data-provider entries that show additional rounds, but those do not match its business and are not relied on here. In June 2026 WakeCap, the Riyadh-based construction technology company known for smart hard hats and connected devices that track worker movement, safety and productivity, announced that it had acquired Frontline. The financial terms were not disclosed. WakeCap described the purchase as adding the planning layer that comes before execution, so that plan data and live site data can sit in a single platform rather than in separate tools. Martinez is quoted as chief executive of Frontline after the deal and described it as a step towards a continuous loop of intelligence from the planning table to the last worker on site. For WakeCap the transaction follows its acquisitions of Crews by Core, a Palo Alto field execution platform, and Trackfy, a Brazilian workforce safety and operations company bought in November 2025. Customer numbers, revenue and headcount for Frontline have not been published.
