What Conplan does

Conplan (legal name CONPLAN) is a Portuguese consultancy firm established in 1985, headquartered in Lisbon with a Central Region Delegation in Inguias Belmonte. The firm delivers planning, management, organization, IT, human capital, and communication consulting to enterprises, public entities, and certifying organizations, primarily within Portugal. Its flagship technical asset is the SME Official Multimedia Examination System, developed for IMT and operational since 1999, which has processed over 5 million theoretical driving exams across more than 30 categories and continues to receive ongoing support and maintenance from Conplan. The firm also developed the certified e-carta platform and e-drive mobile application in partnership with ALSIS for IMT driver training verification, and operates additional proprietary platforms including Sharpnet CRM, Sharpflow project management software, Studiu e-learning, and an electronic question management system deployed for the Ordem dos Médicos.

The business operates across three revenue streams: professional services consulting, one-time license fees for examination system deployments, and managed services for ongoing platform maintenance. Customer concentration is high and dominated by Portuguese government bodies and regulatory authorities including IMT, the Regional Governments of Azores and Madeira, GNR, Exército Português, and Ordem dos Médicos, with Vodafone Portugal and ACP as notable enterprise references. Conplan is a privately held partnership owned by founding partners Luís Matos and Sofia Matos, with no external investors or funding rounds disclosed. The firm has diversified into adjacent offerings including the REVE ecosystem regeneration program for Vale da Esteva, the PNE New Companies Platform for CPPME, the Hybrid Teams training program, and sub-brands Elope in Portugal and Celebrantes for ceremonial services, all marketed under "by CONPLAN."
