Forseti

What Forseti does

Forseti is a Dutch professional services firm founded in 2004 by Concordis Groep and headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch. The company specializes in doelgroepenvervoer — transport services for vulnerable populations including learner transport (leerlingenvervoer), Wmo social-support transport, youth law transport, and healthcare client transport (cliëntenvervoer) — and self-describes as the market leader in procurement for the Dutch target-group transport sector. Its service portfolio spans the full transport lifecycle: policy advisory, strategic procurement and tendering (Inkoop & Aanbesteding), full or partial outsourcing of leerlingenvervoer execution, contract management, and data-driven monitoring and optimization.

The core technology stack consists of the co-developed Mobiliteitsscan (a bulk route-analysis tool built with sister company Mobycon on Google Maps API), the in-house Traffact invoice control platform (online since 2009), and the integrated SmartWheels registration tool from Efco Solutions, all feeding Tableau and Power BI dashboards used for live contract monitoring. The firm bundles these tools with structured IP including the Draaiboek Leerlingenvervoer playbook and the Whitepaper De Samenredzame Verordening Leerlingenvervoer, plus the Samenredzaam in mobiliteit program that transitions children from taxi transport to independent OV use.

Forseti makes money primarily through multi-year advisory and outsourcing engagements with Dutch municipalities, complemented by structured training and workshop sales (public sessions priced €285-€695 per participant), whitepaper and playbook licenses, and per-project data-analysis engagements. Go-to-market is consultative and event-driven: the firm runs an annual Actualiteitenseminar Leerlingenvervoer (120+ attendees), partners with VNG on webinars, and pursues work through tenders, referrals, and direct institutional relationships. Forseti holds ISO 27001 certification and operates as a subsidiary within the Concordis Groep group structure.
