Cremer Programmentwicklung (CP) was founded as a GmbH (Ltd) company in Munich, Germany by Dr. Konrad Cremer in November 1995. Since then, the company has grown steadily and surely, relatively unaffected by economic fluctuations. The company today offers a suite of programs centred upon the flagship product, CAPLAN. This surveying application is currently used by a wide range of surveying and engineering companies on numerous construction sites and mapping projects worldwide, such as the Gotthard-Tunnel (Switzerland), the Karahnjukar hydro-electric power station (Iceland), Malmö City-Tunnel (Sweden), the Chatswood to Epping Rail Link in Sydney (Australia), the Durban Harbour Tunnel (South Africa), the Glendoe Hydro Scheme in Inverness (Scotland) and many more.

Since May 01, 2007, the company has been managed by CEO Michael Eicher. His education and professional experience as a surveyor allows him to really understand the needs of our users at first hand, and his extensive programming skills ensure that he can also implement such requirements in the software and provide advice and guidance to the programming team.

The company founder and former CEO, Dr. Konrad Cremer, retired from the business at the end of 2011, but is still available in an advisory role with his wealth of ideas and considerable experience in the field.

Tobias Schudt has been a member of our team since January 2010, following his graduation from the Würzburg University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule) in Germany. The university is where he first became acquainted with CAPLAN and he now works with programming as well as with the full range of customer support services; by telephone, e-mail, and in person on training courses and at trade fairs.

Sonja Bachmeyer has a background as a social worker and is the real heart of our team, providing an excellent counter-balance to the male and technical bias in the rest of the group. She takes care of accounting and other internal services at the company, including customer care at exhibitions and trade fairs.

Nicholas Butler comes from England, studied Geomatics at Newcastle University and currently lives in Stockholm, from where he represents CP in northern Europe. He is also responsible for the translation and editing of all English texts.

are dynamic. Our mission is to provide excellent tools for our customers which are easy to use and which facilitate their everyday work. The development goals of our programs are therefore extremely focused on the specific and changing needs of our users. If we can continuously satisfy most of the customer wishes that we receive, whilst ensuring that the programs remain compact, powerful and user-friendly, then our work is done.
For every support question we receive, we don't simply respond to the specific case but also ask ourselves if the product can be improved so that the question never arises again. Consequently, our support Hotline should ring less and the time thus saved can be invested in making further improvements to our products.
