Shaping the future of rainwatermanagement with Rigoplan 8.0

UHP is a full-service development agency building sustainable digital solutions tailored to your needs.

Water is a powerful and destructive force: the consequences of climate change are evident. Sudden extreme rainfall events and an ever-increasing number of impermeable surfaces are the cause of flooding. For over 20 years, Fränkische has applied its knowledge and experience to balance economy, efficiency and ecology in rainwater management, protecting people and the environment sustainably.

To make the design and planning of rainwater management systems smarter and more intuitive with modern software, Fränkische decided to completely redevelop its established RigoPlan software.

The new version, RigoPlan 8.0, is user-friendly and intuitive to operate.
