What Explicate does

Explicate B.V. is a Dutch value-added distributor and agent founded in 2019 and headquartered in Losser, Netherlands (Broekhoekweg 34, 7582 PT). The company represents eleven established international brands across safety, security and building management, including Suprema (biometric and RFID access control), Gamanet C4 (Physical Security Information Management / PSIM), Verkada (hybrid-cloud video surveillance and visitor management), Fidelix (building management systems and wireless M-Bus sensors), CARRIDA Technologies (ANPR/ALPR cameras), Sieza Peridect+ (fence and underground perimeter detection), LUGN Security (drone detection and Drone-as-a-Service), Cosafe (incident response and crisis communication), Trineo Systems (LoRaWAN smoke sensors), M2M Services (LTE-M / 5G connectivity) and SupraeNet (secure interconnected VPN routers). Its core technology proposition is the Gamanet C4 PSIM platform as a unified integration layer, with native drivers spanning more than 50 camera and VMS manufacturers, major fire-alarm panels (Notifier, Bosch, Siemens, Hochiki) and intrusion panels (Bosch, DSC, Paradox, Satel).

The business model is hardware distribution and integration, with quote-based pricing, multi-year contracts and a direct sales motion (website catalog, demo booking, quote request, phone and email) supported by a small team of 1-10 employees. Revenue is generated as product sales and project-based supply, with no disclosed subscription, SaaS or recurring software line. The company serves a horizontal Dutch market across two primary segments: organizations requiring integrated physical security solutions (access control, video surveillance, perimeter protection, incident response) and buildings/facilities requiring energy-efficient building management (HVAC, presence detection, indoor climate). Marketing is executed through the corporate website (explicate.nl) with product news, regulatory commentary on Dutch biometrics law, school safety, end-of-2G systems and critical-infrastructure resilience (WWKE/CER), and content assets such as brochures and datasheets.

Ownership is private, founder-led (Maarten Mijwaart) and independent, with no external investors, no parent company, no funding rounds and no M&A activity disclosed. There is no management team, no subsidiary structure, no patent or trademark portfolio, no published financial figures, and operations are confined to a single geography (Western Europe, specifically the Netherlands). The strategic profile is that of a focused, founder-operated specialty channel: brand breadth and integrator relationships are the principal assets, while all technology IP, certifications and product roadmaps sit with the represented vendors.

Direct peers

• Axis Communications: Swedish network camera manufacturer integrated into Gamanet C4 and distributed alongside Explicate's portfolio. Directly comparable as a physical-security OEM that competes for the same end-customer budgets via Dutch integrator channels.
• Genetec: Canadian-headquartered unified security platform (Security Center, Omnicast VMS, Synergis access control) that competes directly with the Gamanet C4 PSIM layer Explicate sells, often through the same integrator channels in the Netherlands.
• Nedap: Dutch provider of access control and security management systems headquartered in Groenlo. Directly comparable because it competes head-to-head in the Dutch physical security market with proprietary hardware, software, and integrator channels that overlap with Explicate's portfolio.
• Milestone Systems: Danish open-platform VMS vendor whose software Explicate integrates via Gamanet C4 drivers. Competes at the video management layer with Verkada (which Explicate also distributes) and is a direct comparable for any PSIM/integrator business.
