Proplan AS is a Norwegian private limited company founded in 1991 in Stavanger, operating a software resale, implementation, and professional services business focused on ERP, HRM, CRM, and accounting solutions for Norwegian businesses. The company serves over 3,000 customers across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise segments, with notable clients including Nordic Marine Solutions, Risa (consolidated 22 companies onto Business NXT), IKM Testing, Zaptec, Fagforeningen Lederne, Lorentz Storesund & Sønner, TECCON, Blueday, and Aventi Norway.

The technical core is a hybrid of resold third-party platforms and proprietary Norwegian-specialized software. Proplan is a certified Visma Partner reselling and implementing Business NXT, Visma Net, Tripletex, Contracting NXT, Contracting Works, and Payroll, integrating with SuperOffice for CRM, OneStop Reporting and Power BI for BI/reporting, and SmartDok for construction project documentation.

The company also developed Proplan Leveransemodell (PLM), a 30+ year project methodology for ERP implementations. Data processing runs on infrastructure operated by Hatteland Solutions under a GDPR-aligned data processing agreement.

The business model combines recurring software subscription resale (ERP, HRM, Payroll, Proplan Tiltak, Proplan Time) with professional services for implementation, customization, and ongoing support. Approximately 86.6% of support cases are resolved within 90 minutes and customer satisfaction is rated at 9 out of 10. Revenue is generated through tiered subscription pricing, tiered support agreements (priority queue, discounted consultant hours, unlimited fast-price contact), quote-based enterprise ERP sales, and accounting service fees from Proplan Regnskap AS. Distribution is executed via direct enterprise field sales with regional directors and key account managers at each office, complemented by the Visma partner channel, the annual Proplan Summit conference, and digital content marketing. Customer segments span construction/infrastructure, oil and gas, marine, EV charging, testing/inspection, project-based automation, labor unions, accounting firms, and the tiltaksbransjen. The company has grown organically and through over 50 acquisitions over its 35-year history, without external venture or private equity investment.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Visma: Norwegian-headquartered ERP/HRM software vendor and owner of Business NXT, Visma Net, Tripletex, Payroll and SuperOffice. Proplan's principal technology partner and direct competitor on enterprise accounts; key to Proplan's revenue and competitive positioning.
• EG A/S: Danish vertical software provider serving construction, housing, HR/payroll, and accounting verticals across the Nordics. Comparable to Proplan's vertical-specialist software approach (e.g., Contracting NXT/Works, Proplan Tiltak) at a much larger scale.
• PwC Norway: Big-4 advisory and accounting firm in Norway with technology-enabled finance transformation and ERP advisory practices. Comparable to Proplan in serving Norwegian mid-market and enterprise clients on ERP/HRM modernization.
• Vitec Software Group: Swedish vertical software acquirer building niche software businesses across the Nordics. Comparable to Proplan's long-running 50+ acquisition strategy and vertical software approach (e.g., Proplan Tiltak), though Vitec is much larger and listed.

Emerging players

• Tripletex: Norwegian cloud accounting/ERP platform that Proplan itself resells. Comparable technology provider for Norwegian SMBs; a channel partner relationship but also a potential disintermediation risk if Tripletex expands direct.

Direct peers

• Accountor: Nordic provider of accounting, payroll, HR and ERP-related services to SMBs. Closely mirrors Proplan's combined software reseller + outsourced accounting + consulting model across the Nordics.
• Azets: Nordic accounting, payroll, HR and advisory outsourcing group with significant Norwegian presence. Directly comparable to Proplan in combining accounting services (Proplan Regnskap AS) with HRM/payroll technology and outsourced delivery.
• 24SevenOffice: Nordic cloud ERP, accounting and CRM platform for SMBs. Comparable to Proplan in serving Norwegian/Nordic SMBs with integrated cloud ERP and accounting functionality.
• Columbus: Danish-headquartered global ERP and digital transformation consultancy, with strong Microsoft Dynamics / cloud ERP consulting practice. Comparable to Proplan as an ERP consulting/implementation partner serving SMB and mid-market customers.

Regional players

• BDO Norway: Norwegian accounting, tax and advisory firm with national coverage. Comparable to Proplan Regnskap AS as a Norwegian outsourced accounting and advisory provider, though BDO also offers audit.
