Compilator

What Compilator does

Compilator AB, operating under the Klipboard brand, is a Nordic vertical software company serving the tyre and automotive aftermarket with its flagship Autowork platform (formerly DäckData). Founded around 1995–1996 and headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, the company has built a modular ERP-style system that addresses the operational core of a tyre or car workshop: seasonal tyre hotel management, warehouse and inventory, order/POS, accounting, calendar/booking, and fleet inspection. The architecture is API-first and layered with add-on modules and integrations spanning payments (Adyen terminals, Swish, Nets, BABS, Verifone), e-invoicing (Pagero), accounts-receivable automation (PS Finance Group), cloud accounting (Fortnox), credit data (Creditsafe), tread-depth measurement devices (GrooveGlove, SigmaVision, WheelScanning), supplier EDI, fleet management (InfoRoute: FleetCheck/FleetInspector/FleetVision), and e-commerce (tiered Webshop GO/PRO/PRO+). A separate PriceManager platform distributes supplier pricing lists to thousands of Northern European workshops and serves as a long-standing data/standards asset.

Compilator monetizes primarily through monthly Autowork subscriptions, tiered and add-on subscriptions for Begagnat-affären (second-hand tyres), PS Finance Group, webshops, and PriceManager, plus transactional/hardware revenue from Adyen payment terminals and peripherals (receipt printers, label printers, tread-depth gauges, cash drawers). The go-to-market is sales-led with regional offices in Malmö, Lahti (Finland), and Plymouth (UK), direct field/inside sales targeting enterprise chains and SMB workshops, demo-driven web funnel, and a self-serve e-commerce shop for accessories. The customer base spans approximately 2,500 connected workshops across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and the UK, with named reference customers including Däckcenter Vellinge (a high-volume SMB tyre hotel) and Hedin Wheel Tech (an enterprise chain). In 2024–2025 the company appointed a new Nordic CEO (Christian Rådh), acquired Elcome (April 2025), rebranded DäckData to Autowork (August 2025), launched Autowork Ecommerce (August 2025), and expanded both sales and support headcount. Revenue, ARR, and ownership structure are not publicly disclosed.
