What ProfitPlus does

ProfitPlus (legal entity Profit+ BV, BE 0874.517.158) is a Belgian vertically-focused ERP software company headquartered in Kortrijk that develops and sells integrated business software for commercial, logistical and financial processes. The company serves small and mid-sized manufacturing and trading companies in the Benelux region, with documented customers spanning sheet metal processing, mirror manufacturing, hardware wholesale, metal construction, ship repair, rotating equipment service, and consumer tools distribution. Its core product, ProfitPlus Business Software, is a JAVA-based, modular ERP suite covering CRM, articles and calculation, purchasing and inventory, order management, invoicing, accounting, reporting (with Power BI integration), document management, webshop/e-commerce, and a deep production stack that includes MRP, QRM-based capacity planning, shopfloor (desktop and mobile), lot/traceability, product configurator, project management, and EN 1090 compliance. A lighter product, ProfitPlus SPRINT, was launched in 2024 to address startups and small SMEs with a streamlined feature set and an upgrade path into the full platform. Underlying architecture differentiates via proprietary in-house JAVA code, Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) capacity planning principles, bidirectional CAD/PDM/PLM and CAM integrations, native PEPPOL e-invoicing for Belgian regulatory compliance, and an extensive integration ecosystem (Stopa plate warehouse, Companyweb, EDI platforms, shipping carriers PostNL/GLS/BPost/TNT/Schenker, and a REST API documented via Swagger).

ProfitPlus makes money primarily through recurring subscriptions priced at €72 per user per month for the standard ERP package, plus implementation services and custom development (Maatwerk). Revenue is concentrated in Belgium with documented expansion into the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Go-to-market is a hybrid model: direct enterprise field sales with on-site business consultants, a distribution partnership with CAT-Solutions BV (BE 0898.625.024), self-service demo booking through HubSpot for SMB leads (including SPRINT), and an inbound marketing stack that includes SEO-optimized website content, ERP assessment quizzes, social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), webinars, and an email newsletter. Customer references cited on the website include IDP Shipyard, Deknudt Mirrors, De Kinder Hardware, Bekafun, Ditho Construct, PPCI (5x revenue growth over six years), Erpa Industrial Supplier (two-year payback), Godevaart Gereedschappen, Ruwomat, and The Rotating Company, spanning SMB to mid-market account sizes. Ownership is private with no disclosed funding rounds; the company appears self-funded and profitable on operating cash.
