Hardware products include three tiers of interactive displays — the Touchscreen Max (flagship Windows 11 Pro model with optional 21:9 ultra-wide format), Touchscreen Ultra (premium PCAP touch with optical bonding), and Touchscreen Ten (Google EDLA-certified Android model) — alongside accessories such as the Neo lift systems with patented SafeSnap mounting, 4K Move Camera with computer vision, PC-modules, charging carts, and the All-in-One PC.

The software layer is anchored by Prowise GO (a unified online learning environment priced at €6 per learner per year), Prowise Learn (adaptive practice software for math, language, and English at €4 per learner per year, developed with University of Amsterdam research), the free Prowise Presenter and Prowise Move-spellen, the AI-powered Prowise Teach whiteboard (the successor to Presenter), and Prowise Screen Control for remote fleet management. The business is 100% European privately owned with no external investors, sells exclusively direct without resellers, and runs all cloud services on European servers. Differentiators include BSI IT-Grundschutz certification (a regulatory credential recognized by European governments and defense), ISO 27001/9001/14001, Privacy Verified, GDPR compliance, Google EDLA certification, and Microsoft Gold Partner status. Notable customers span primary and secondary schools across the Netherlands and internationally, adult education institutions serving tens of thousands of students, and government/defense organizations including Bundeswehr University Munich and the UK Ministry of Defence.
