SoulCore

What SoulCore does

SC Software Oy, operating under the brand "SC Software" and referred to in firmographic data as "SoulCore," is a privately held Finnish vertical software company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Jyväskylä, with additional offices in Helsinki and Kuopio. The company develops and delivers cloud-based vertical software for three primary customer segments: Finnish public-sector organizations requiring procurement management, large trade unions and professional associations needing member registry and case management systems, and enterprises requiring investment portfolio and lifecycle management. Core products are SC Sourcing Suite (a Source-to-Contract procurement platform covering needs mapping, competitive tendering, and ordering), Trade Union Suite (a modular member data and case management system with electronic services), SC Vinha (an investment management platform consolidating portfolio costs, cash flows, and lifecycle data), and Tailored Solutions for custom software and legacy modernization.

All customer solutions are built on SoulGen, the company's proprietary high-productivity software development platform, which is positioned internally as the foundation for accelerated cloud-based application delivery and quality assurance. The company claims 100% delivery reliability and significantly shorter delivery times than industry norms since its founding. SC Software monetizes through annual, quote-based enterprise subscriptions for its vertical software products and through professional services revenue from custom development engagements. The go-to-market is a direct enterprise field sales motion targeting public sector and large association buyers, supported by content marketing, industry events, and social channels. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification (achieved in 2023) and lists VR Group as a reference customer. No external venture funding rounds are disclosed, and ownership appears to remain private and founder-led, with Tiina Vestman appointed as CEO in 2023.
