What Makeonline does

Makeonline is a modular SaaS compliance management platform operated by KWA Bedrijfsadviseurs B.V., a Dutch consultancy headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands. The platform helps hundreds of Dutch and European companies manage their obligations under KAM legislation (Kwaliteit, Arbo, Milieu) — covering occupational health and safety, environment, energy, sustainability, quality management, food safety, and building/installation management — as well as emerging regulatory frameworks including the Omgevingswet (Environment and Planning Act), energiebesparingsplicht, and CSRD sustainability reporting. The platform is built on a modular architecture with a core legislation module providing full regulatory texts, complemented by modules for obligations management, risk analysis (RI&E and environmental aspect registers), task tracking, notifications and findings, document management, and risk/opportunity classification.

The underlying technology combines a cloud-based SaaS platform hosted at the ISO 27001-certified BIT datacenter in Ede, with compliance following ICT Beveiligingsrichtlijnen for Web Applications from the Nationaal Cyber Security Centrum. A configurable dashboard, SSO option, BI/data-export integration, and an integrated Elzi Learning Management System for compliance training extend the platform. The legal entity (KWA Bedrijfsadviseurs B.V.) holds ISO 9001 certification covering the Makeonline process. Distribution is purely direct B2B sales-led, channeled through KWA's expert advisor network (70+ colleagues at the parent organization), supported by webinars, content marketing, and a free-trial webinar funnel, with quarterly customer check-ins and annual evaluations as part of the service model. Pricing follows an annual modular subscription tied to number of modules selected and active users, plus one-time setup/training and optional support services; ancillary paid services include the KWA Omgevingswetcheck and KWA Sjabloontaken template tasks. Customer base spans at least twelve industrial verticals — food, metal, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, textile, electronics, tank storage, logistics, waste, ceramics, paper, and water — accessed both directly and through industry collectives.

Broad incumbents

• Visma: Large Nordic-origin software group with HR, finance, and compliance modules widely used by Dutch SMBs and enterprises. Comparable on modular SaaS compliance and document management for Dutch companies, but at much broader portfolio scale.
• ServiceNow GRC: Major enterprise platform with integrated GRC and Integrated Risk Management modules. Comparable risk register, audit, and policy/compliance workflows, but as part of a much broader enterprise cloud suite competing in the same accounts.
• Wolters Kluwer: Global information services company with a strong Dutch compliance and regulatory software portfolio (including former Sdu assets). Overlaps with Makeonline on Dutch/EU legal compliance, but operates at far greater scale and broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Diligent: Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) SaaS platform serving boards and compliance officers. Comparable to Makeonline's risk inventory, controls, and audit-finding workflows, though more board/enterprise focused than Dutch KAM-specific.
• NAVEX Global: Provider of ethics, risk, and compliance software including incident management and policy management. Overlaps with Makeonline's notifications/findings module and overall compliance program management for regulated enterprises.
• IsoMetrix: Enterprise EHS (environment, health, safety) and GRC software provider. Direct overlap with Makeonline's arbo, milieu, veiligheid, and kwaliteitsmanagement modules for industrial and multi-site customers.
• SDU: Dutch publisher specializing in legislation, regulations, and compliance information. Directly comparable to Makeonline's regulatory content and KAM compliance focus, serving the same Dutch customer base with overlapping wet- en regelgeving content.

Emerging players

• FigBytes: ESG and sustainability management platform helping companies with CSRD, GHG, and sustainability reporting. Comparable to Makeonline's duurzaamheidsverslaglegging (CSRD) and energie modules for European mid-market companies.
• OneTrust: Privacy, security, and GRC software platform with strong ESG and regulatory reporting capabilities. Comparable on sustainability (CSRD) and risk management workflows that overlap with Makeonline's duurzaamheid and risico modules.

Regional players

• Bizzcontrol: Dutch compliance and quality management software vendor for SMBs. Direct overlap with Makeonline's KAM compliance modules and Dutch SMB/mid-market target customers.
