InfoMentor Iceland

What InfoMentor Iceland does

InfoMentor ehf., operating under the InfoMentor brand, is a Nordic education technology company that develops cloud-based school information and learning management systems for preschools, primary schools, and upper secondary schools. The product portfolio includes Mentor Kerfið for grades 1-10 primary schools, INNA for upper secondary schools (acquired from Advania in September 2024), Vala for preschools and municipal leisure services (also acquired from Advania), and the legacy Karellen preschool system which is being phased out over two years in favor of Vala. The platform supports curriculum planning, competency-based assessment aligned with Nordic national curricula, attendance tracking, parent communication, electronic consent forms, leave requests, and SMS notifications, with native SSO integrations for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 plus Google Classroom grade synchronization. Mobile applications (IM Home and the InfoMentor Hub teacher app) extend the platform to parents, students, and teachers on iOS and Android.

The company generates revenue primarily through recurring subscriptions paid by schools and municipalities for access to its education management systems, supplemented by fee-based training courses for teachers, administrators, and school specialists (priced per participant in Icelandic Krona, ranging from 15,500 ISK for new teacher sessions to 74,000 ISK for specialist courses). Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales targeting municipalities and schools, free remote product demonstrations, and competitive municipal tender processes. InfoMentor operates across three countries—Iceland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom—with approximately 32 employees distributed across Reykjavik (5), Kristianstad headquarters in Sweden (14), and a development office in Exeter, UK (13). The company serves roughly 1,200 educational institutions with nearly 1 million daily users and has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swedish parent Nordtech Group AB since early 2021.
