On June 1, 2026, Change Com Invests in Sparely (In No Time B.V.)
Change Com is proud to announce an investment in Sparely (In No Time B.V.), a technology company reimagining how the world sources spare parts. Sparely offers a Spare Parts-as-a-Service (SPaaS) platform powered by AI prediction, addressing a persistent industrial problem: roughly half of all spare parts arrive too late, and long lead times of three to twelve months drive up till 1,3 trillion in unplanned downtime.¹
Rather than relying on traditional supply chains and large physical inventories, Sparely builds a global platform and ecosystem of qualified production partners, harnessing the spare capacity of 3D printing shops to manufacture critical parts locally and on demand. Using AI to predict end-of-life components before they fail, the platform helps customers avoid breakdowns and unplanned downtime altogether. The approach removes the need for physical storage, eliminates long-haul transport and import duties, and supports a more sustainable, circular model of digital, distributed manufacturing. Sparely targets high-value sectors including maritime, energy, defense, automotive, and aerospace, and has already built early traction with industrial clients, strategic production partners, and a growing roster of investors.
The company is led by two complementary founders. Bernhard van Riessen, Founder and CEO, is a serial founder with a corporate background and a strong track record in building and scaling teams. He is joined by co-founder and CTO David Reiersrud, who brings 25 years of experience in cloud computing and in leading large international technology teams. Together, backed by an international team from the Netherlands, Norway and the US, they combine entrepreneurial drive with deep technical expertise to build Sparely into a leading global spare-parts management platform.
With this investment, Change Com is backing Sparely’s mission to replace yesterday’s supply chains and solve today’s industrial challenges with tomorrow’s technology.
