Revenue model

1. Enterprise Software Subscriptions: Quebble sells modular software packages to childcare organizations on a subscription basis. Organizations can purchase the complete package or individual modules (staff planning, child planning, parent portal, employee portal). Pricing is quote-based and varies by organization size and modules selected.
2. Training Services (Quebble Professional): Training programs for customer staff to become certified Quebble Professionals, enabling them to manage the software internally. Training is VAT-exempt due to CRKBO registration of Pelosa.
3. Implementation Services: Data migration and implementation services ensuring smooth transition from existing systems with minimal manual input. Includes year-end reporting continuity for parents.
4. Free Parent Communication App: The heen-en-weer schriftje (digital notebook) is provided free to parents. This creates network effects and drives adoption among childcare organizations.

Quebble provides integrated SaaS for the Dutch childcare sector, combining staff scheduling, child enrollment/attendance, parent communication, employee self-service, and digital child-development observation in one platform. It is sold as a complete package or as individual modules to childcare organizations, and offers a free companion mobile app (heen-en-weer schriftje) for parents. The company also operates Quebble Together, a national staff-pooling platform that matches available childcare workers with open shifts at partner organizations.

Direct peers

• Bitcare: Dutch childcare management software offering planning, parent communication, and administration modules to Dutch daycare and after-school care organizations, making it the closest head-to-head competitor to Quebble in the Netherlands.
• Konnect: Netherlands-based childcare administration and parent communication platform serving Dutch daycare and BSO organizations with similar modular SaaS functionality to Quebble's parent portal and child planning modules.
• Famly: Nordic-origin childcare management platform expanding across Europe with attendance, parent engagement, and billing modules for daycare providers — directly comparable feature set to Quebble Pro and the Ouderportaal.
• PlanDay: Workforce scheduling SaaS used by childcare and shift-based service organizations across Europe; comparable to Quebble's Personeelsplanning module with automated shift suggestion and compliance features.
• HiMama: Childcare-focused SaaS offering daily reports, parent communication, attendance, and developmental observations — overlapping with Quebble's Ouderportaal and Digitaal Observatieplatform CED functionality.
• Tadika: German childcare management software providing administration, parent communication, and planning modules for daycare operators, serving an adjacent but comparable childcare vertical SaaS niche.

Broad incumbents

• Brightwheel: Well-funded US-based early-childhood education platform with attendance, billing, parent messaging, and learning observations; a broader incumbent with overlapping childcare workflows but primarily North American footprint.

Others

• AFAS Software: Dutch HR, payroll, and ERP vendor already integrated with Kinderworld's Quebble deployment; an adjacent enterprise software provider that competes indirectly for back-office spend in Dutch childcare organizations.
• ChildcareCRM: CRM and waitlist management platform for childcare operators; an adjacent, enabling tool rather than a direct competitor, but it overlaps with Quebble Kindplanning's enrollment and waiting-list functionality.

Emerging players

• SkoolLoop: School and childcare communication app focused on parent messaging, forms, and updates — narrower in scope than Quebble but competing for the same parent-engagement wallet share at Dutch childcare and BSO sites.
