InfoMentor

What InfoMentor does

InfoMentor is a privately held Nordic education technology company that develops and operates school information systems for the K–12 segment in Iceland and Sweden. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Kristianstad, Sweden, with an operational office in Reykjavík, Iceland, the company sells dedicated, school-level software products — Mentor for primary schools (grunnskóli), Inna for upper secondary schools (framhaldsskóli), Vala for preschools and after-school care (leikskóli/frístund), and the legacy Karellen preschool system that is being phased out over a two-year horizon announced in September 2025. The platform covers curriculum and individualized-curriculum management, grade reporting, study periods and assignments, student portfolios (Námsmappur), and a home-facing portal (Mitt InfoMentor), with native integrations to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Iceland's national student registry (Nemendagrunnur MMS).

The technology stack is a modular, web-delivered suite rather than a single product, sold via a consultative, sales-led motion ("Bóka kynningu") with quote-based contract pricing to schools, municipalities and education authorities. The company monetizes primarily through recurring subscriptions to its school systems, supplemented by recurring in-person courses, remote presentations and online training (námskeið, fjarkynningar, fjarnámskeið) that function as professional-services revenue and as a customer-enablement layer. No public pricing tiers, free trials, or self-serve channels are disclosed, and no public API, SDK or developer documentation is offered.

InfoMentor describes itself as one of the foremost school information system providers in Sweden, where its solutions are used at all school levels, and as a leading provider in Iceland, where it serves a large installed base of teachers, administrators, students and guardians. The company has historically been funded by Icelandic institutional capital (Eyrir Venture Management and the Technology Development Fund) over multiple rounds between 2000 and 2018, and operates with a small employee base of 11–50 people. No parent company, institutional shareholders beyond historical investors, or public listing is referenced in the source material.

Revenue model

1. School information system subscriptions: Likely SaaS/subscription licensing of the Mentor, Vala, Karellen and Inna systems to schools and municipalities on a recurring basis. Exact pricing not publicly disclosed; customers appear to be onboarded via a 'Book a presentation' sales motion.
2. Training, courses and remote presentations: Recurring scheduled in-person courses, remote presentations and online courses ('námskeið', 'fjarkynningar', 'fjarnámskeið') offered to users, generating professional-services/training revenue on top of the core subscription.

Core offering

InfoMentor develops and delivers K-12 school information systems (SIS) and student administration platforms used by schools, municipalities, and preschools across Sweden and Iceland. Its flagship product Mentor and companion offerings (Vala, Inna, Karellen) handle attendance, grading, scheduling, communication, and administration for primary, secondary, upper-secondary, and preschool institutions. The company sells primarily under subscription-based SaaS arrangements to public and private educational organizations.

Product overview

InfoMentor operates a multi-product school information-systems portfolio rather than a single unified product. The portfolio is organized by school level and target user: Vala (and the legacy Karellen) for preschools, Mentor for primary schools, and Inna for secondary schools, complemented by "Aðrar lausnir" add-on offerings such as the Mitt InfoMentor home/guardian portal, additional modules ("Aðrar einingar"), and a Google/Microsoft 365 integration. Together these products support administration, curriculum and individualized-learning management, grade handling and reporting, communication with families, and integration with the Icelandic MMS student registry.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Google (Google Workspace)coreTechnology or IntegrationInfoMentor offers native integration with Google Workspace as one of two productivity-suite integrations.

Direct peers

• Skooler: Finnish K-12 digital learning and school administration platform integrated with Microsoft 365. Direct Nordic peer to InfoMentor's Mentor system in functionality and customer base (Nordic schools).
• Skolon: Swedish EdTech aggregation and distribution platform that lets schools license digital learning tools. Competes with InfoMentor for Swedish school software spend and distribution, though as an aggregator rather than a single-product SIS.
• Itslearning: Norwegian K-12 learning management and SIS platform (now part of Kahoot!) serving schools across the Nordics. Directly comparable to InfoMentor's Mentor, Inna, and Vala systems in functionality, customer type, and Nordic footprint.
• Visma Aladdin: Visma's Finnish K-12 school administration system covering primary and secondary schools. Direct Nordic SIS peer to InfoMentor's Mentor and Inna, with similar functionality and public-sector buyers.
• International School Technology (IST): Danish K-12 SIS provider serving international and public schools across Europe. Closely comparable in product scope (SIS, gradebook, scheduling) and customer base to InfoMentor's Mentor and Inna systems.
• Visma InSchool: Visma's K-12 school administration platform in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Competes head-to-head with InfoMentor in the Nordic public-sector school market for SIS, grade, and timetable functionality.

Regional players

• Bromcom: UK-based K-12 school Management Information System (acquired SIMS from Capita in 2024). Comparable in SIS/gradebook functionality to InfoMentor but primarily serves UK schools, not the Nordics.

Emerging players

• Aula: Danish parent/school communication and engagement platform (consortium-built). Compares to InfoMentor's Mitt InfoMentor parent portal as a focused comms/engagement play in the same regional school market.
• ManageBac: International-schools SIS and learning platform (now part of Faria Education Group). Comparable in school administration scope to InfoMentor but focused on international schools globally rather than Nordic public schools.

Broad incumbents

• Tietoevry: Large Nordic IT services and software group with an education vertical. Competes broadly with InfoMentor for school and municipality IT contracts across the Nordics, but as part of a much wider portfolio.
