Wrike’s mission is to help you do the best work of your life. Today, I’m happy to announce that we’re furthering that mission, as we’ve completed the acquisition of Klaxoon, the provider of an all-in-one visual collaboration platform that increases employee engagement and productivity. 

The acquisition, initially announced on December 10, 2024, unites two leading companies in the digital collaboration space to bring together visual ideation with structured work management and deliver unparalleled workflow efficiency to organizations. 

Headquartered in Rennes, France, Klaxoon provides a single platform combining an infinite whiteboard and eight visual collaboration services and tools, including Board, Memo, Session, Adventure, Network, Quiz, Survey, Question, and Mission, to global organizations like Schneider Electric, Engie, and Manitou. 

The Wrike platform is strengthened by our Work Intelligence® solution, which is transforming the way work is managed through AI-driven insights. Paired with Klaxoon’s own advancements in AI for visual collaboration, we will accelerate the shift toward fully integrated, AI-powered workflows. Going beyond adding another tool to our platform, this milestone is about reinventing how work gets done, blending creativity and execution into one seamless experience, and changing the way teams collaborate, ideate, and execute.

Initial customer response has been extremely positive, with most noting that they can see how an integrated whiteboard solution would be valuable in their workflow process, getting everything in one place would be beneficial, and having the ability to whiteboard in Wrike would be preferred to bringing on another tool. It’s clear why.

Unifying creativity and execution

Wrike and Klaxoon share a clear vision: a world where workplace collaboration isn’t just efficient, but frictionless. Wrike’s AI-enhanced work management capabilities paired with Klaxoon’s visual collaboration offerings will allow teams to transform ideas into action, create high-level project views, and turn results into engaging meetings. 

Our combined platform will empower teams across diverse industries like manufacturing and professional services, as well as departments ranging from marketing to training to PMO. Organizations can expect enhanced end-to-end workflows — such as product lifecycle, client service delivery, training programs, and campaign management — that connect seamlessly and transform creative ideas into tangible results.

Sunit Mukherjee, Managing Director at STG, states, “We believe this strategic acquisition positions Wrike as the go-to solution for organizations seeking to unify collaboration and workflow management. By combining Klaxoon’s visual collaboration expertise with Wrike’s AI-powered work management platform, we are delivering enhanced value to customers worldwide.”

Addressing the hidden costs of work complexities

One of the key insights from Wrike’s research report, “The Dark Matter of Work: The Hidden Costs of Work Complexities,” highlights the costly impact of unstructured work. When work is siloed across different applications, it leads to wasted time, project delays, and employee churn. Wrike’s integration of Klaxoon will dismantle these silos, offering a streamlined workflow experience where creative ideas can easily be converted into concrete actions without switching between platforms.

My colleague and Wrike CPO Alexey Korotich explains, “Not only will teams be able to collaborate and ideate on an infinite canvas, but also move those ideas through every phase of execution seamlessly, reducing manual work and making smarter decisions based on real-time data.”

The road ahead

Now that the acquisition is finalized, Klaxoon will become an integral part of Wrike’s operations, enhancing our product portfolio and solidifying our position as a leader in intelligent work management.

With this acquisition, Wrike and Klaxoon will pave the way for a new era of workplace collaboration, breaking down barriers between digital work applications and creating an unparalleled end-to-end workflow solution for organizations around the world.
