What TenForce does
TenForce NV is a Belgian private software company founded in 2001, headquartered in Leuven, and operating as a business unit of Elisa Industriq. It develops and sells a modular Environmental, Health, Safety, and Quality (EHSQ) platform covering Incident Management, Audits & Inspections, Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA), Permit to Work, Management of Change, Lockout/Tagout, Document Control, Compliance Management, Risk Management, Shift Management, Environmental Management, Contractor Management, Competence Management, and Complaint Handling. The platform runs on web and mobile with IoT integrations (TenForce SmartFence, IoT barrier management), Power BI reporting, and an APIs-adjacent DevCenter for power users. In March 2026, TenForce added two AI Assistants — for Incident Management and for Permit to Work — that review user-entered and historical site data to suggest follow-up actions and hazard identification, with all decisions retained by humans; the company cites its participation in the EU AI-PROFICIENT initiative as part of its human-centric AI approach.
Revenue is generated through subscription licenses (multi-year with automatic renewal), perpetual licenses paired with annual maintenance, and professional services for implementation, training, and extended/24-7 support. Go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales motion with consultative demos, supplemented by a Proximus reseller relationship that has produced Belgian public-sector wins such as De Lijn's bus-stop management deployment. TenForce serves primarily high-risk, regulated industries: chemicals and petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals (with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 support), and food & beverage — with adjacent public-sector and utilities deployments.
The company maintains offices in Belgium (Leuven, HQ), Germany (Giessen, via Elisa Industriq Germany GmbH), Italy (Rome), and the United States (Houston), with 51–100 employees total. It reports 180,000+ users across 20+ countries. Named customers include Inovyn (relationship since 2008 with module expansions in 2012 and 2016), Douglas Pharmaceuticals, Monument Chemical, Indaver, Unilin, Vynova Group, an unnamed global dairy company with deployments across European and Asian sites, plus public logos for AB InBev, TotalEnergies, Legend Biotech, Prayon, Oleon, and Kuraray. TenForce holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001 certifications, complies with GDPR, and has been named in the Verdantix Green Quadrant for Process Safety Management in both 2023 and 2025.
