What Nostradamus does

Nostradamus is a Netherlands-headquartered, private cloud workforce management SaaS company founded in 2006 and based in Breda, serving 3,000+ companies primarily in hospitality (horeca) and adjacent shift-intensive verticals including retail, sports & recreation, production/manufacturing, theaters & venues, and warehouse/logistics. The platform centers on two core modules — personnel scheduling (Personeelsplanning) and time registration (Urenregistratie) — and is extended by an ecosystem of more than 10 add-on modules covering AI-based workforce planning, busy- and revenue forecasting, absence and leave management, a clock-in system, event-based scheduling, digital personnel dossiers, employee satisfaction surveys, and internal communication. Two dedicated mobile applications (a Management App for supervisors with live labor-cost and revenue dashboards, and a Personeels App for employees handling shift swaps, time entry, and leave requests) complete the user surface, with seamless integrations to payroll (notably Easyflex), POS systems, and HR software.

Revenue is generated via a subscription SaaS model billed monthly; pricing is not publicly listed but is structured around quote-based tiers, with the mobile apps included free of charge. Distribution is direct and sales-led via the website and demo-request funnel, primarily in Dutch (nostradamus.nl) with localized English (nostradamus-software.com) and German (nostradamus-software.de) sites supporting international expansion. The company holds ISO certification, markets AI-driven forecasting and planning as a differentiator, and showcases named customers such as Van der Valk, Corendon Hotels & Resorts, Landal, Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, Tony's Chocolonely, Paradiso, Melkweg, and Tivoli Vredenburg — spanning enterprise hotel groups, franchise F&B operators, and SMB single-location horeca. Headcount is 11–50, indicating a focused mid-sized operating model with no external funding disclosed in the source data.
