Bliksund

What Bliksund does

Bliksund is a Norwegian EmergencyTech SaaS company headquartered in Grimstad, Norway, providing digital tools to emergency services, healthcare, and public safety organizations. The company operates a four-product platform: EWA (electronic patient journal for prehospital and ambulance services), GRID (cloud-based operational management for personnel, resources, equipment, exercises, and competencies), IncidentShare (live video streaming from smartphones, drones, bodycams, vehicles, and IoT devices into dispatch centers), and CRS (Crash Recovery System, a vehicle rescue information database covering airbags, batteries, fuel systems, and alternative propulsion). The products interoperate — for example, CRS data is accessible through GRID, and IncidentShare video integrates with EWA for hospital-to-ambulance teleconsultation — and are supplemented by Bliksund Academy e-learning and CRS VR training.

Bliksund monetizes primarily through annual SaaS subscriptions and license fees (CRS Full Edition listed at NOK 6,900/year per seat with multi-year discounts of 5-10%). Enterprise pricing for EWA, GRID, and IncidentShare is custom-quoted based on organization size and edition (Full vs. Enterprise). Distribution is direct enterprise sales with demo booking and tender-based national procurement; a channel partnership with Danish EHR vendor Systematic extends reach into Danish healthcare. Customers span ambulance services, fire and rescue departments, police, defense, insurance, and roadside assistance across roughly 30 countries, with marquee deployments including all Norwegian 110 fire dispatch centers (NKS110), Luxembourg's national CGDIS, Helse Vest (150 ambulances), and Hovedstadens Beredskab Copenhagen.

The company is privately held by Swedish PE firm Monterro since February 2021, under which it has executed three acquisitions: Incendium (Denmark, August 2023) for video solutions, Flexit Fire (Norway, September 2023) for fire and rescue management, and Moditech Rescue Solutions (Netherlands, February 2024) for CRS vehicle data. Headcount is 51-100 across offices in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Vietnam; leadership includes CEO Janne T. Morstøl, CTO Jeroen van Zeeland (2025 hire), and CFO Carlos Gomes (October 2025 hire), with revenue reportedly growing from NOK 40M to over NOK 100M under current ownership.

Core offering

Bliksund develops and sells a portfolio of cloud-based SaaS software products for emergency services, prehospital healthcare, and public safety organizations. Its four core products — EWA (electronic patient journal for prehospital care), GRID (cloud-based operational management system), IncidentShare (live video streaming from phones, drones, bodycams, and vehicles), and CRS (Crash Recovery System for vehicle rescue information) — are sold as annual subscriptions with tiered editions and multi-year discounts to ambulance services, fire and rescue departments, police, roadside assistance, insurance firms, and defense organizations across more than 30 countries.

Product overview

Bliksund offers a unified portfolio of four core digital solutions for emergency services: EWA (electronic patient journal for prehospital care), GRID (operational management system for resources and procedures), IncidentShare (live video streaming for situational awareness), and CRS (vehicle information for rescue operations). These products work both independently and together—EWA and GRID connect to IncidentShare for video integration, while CRS data can be accessed through GRID. Training services, VR applications, and Bliksund Academy provide ongoing education. The company serves healthcare services, fire and rescue, police, insurance, and defense sectors across 30 countries.

Direct peers

• Ortivus AB: Swedish-listed company providing mobile digital solutions for prehospital and emergency care, including electronic patient journals for ambulance services. Direct competitor to Bliksund EWA in the Nordic market with overlapping healthcare emergency customer base.
• Systematic A/S: Danish healthcare IT vendor providing Columna CIS electronic patient record used in Danish regions. Bliksund's strategic partner but also a potential competitor offering ambulance and emergency care modules in Denmark and internationally.
• Corti: Danish healthtech company providing AI-based decision support for emergency medical dispatch and clinical encounters. Comparable as a Nordic-based EmergencyTech vendor serving the same ambulance and dispatch buyer base.
• ESO Solutions: US-based provider of software for EMS agencies, fire departments, hospitals, and governments, including electronic patient care reporting. Closest US analogue to Bliksund EWA and GRID products for emergency services.
• ImageTrend: US-based vendor of data management software for EMS, fire, trauma and health systems. Provides electronic patient care reporting and operational analytics comparable to Bliksund EWA and GRID.

Broad incumbents

• Zoll Medical (RescueNet / PlusTrac): Large US medical device and software company with RescueNet suite covering EMS data, dispatch, and resuscitation. Overlaps with EWA and IncidentShare use cases as part of a broader medical hardware and software portfolio.
• Hexagon Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial (HxGN OnCall): Global vendor of computer-aided dispatch, incident management, and public safety software including HxGN OnCall Dispatch. Competes against Bliksund in emergency services orchestration and situational awareness.
• Motorola Solutions (CommandCentral / PremiereOne): Large incumbent provider of mission-critical communications and public safety software for police, fire, and EMS. Provides CAD and records solutions that overlap with Bliksund GRID and IncidentShare at scale.

Emerging players

• Pulsara: US-based healthcare communication platform coordinating EMS, hospitals and teams around time-sensitive events like strokes and trauma. Partial overlap with Bliksund's EWA video consultation and care coordination use cases.

Others

• Unify Square (rescue sheet / vehicle data): Adjacent vendor with rescue sheet and emergency response content services; comparable in narrow CRS-like use cases but does not offer the broader Bliksund platform. (Note: there are multiple regional players in this space, listed as an example adjacent vendor.)
