Platform Praktijkmanager

What Platform Praktijkmanager does

Platform Praktijkmanager is a subscription-based online knowledge and community platform targeting practice managers in the Dutch oral healthcare (mondzorg) sector. Operated by Dental Best Practice B.V. from Bathmen, Netherlands, the platform launched in 2022 to address the breadth of responsibilities carried by dental practice managers — personnel management, scheduling, financial administration, inventory, procurement, and protocol implementation — through a single Dutch-language destination. Membership is positioned as the central knowledge base for this niche professional persona.

The product surface consists of a web platform with native iOS and Android applications, integrating four content modules (podcasts hosted by TV presenter Inga Tjapkes, written articles, short videos, and a documents/protocols library) plus an e-learning catalogue of 12+ paid courses taught by named practitioners such as Sjoerd Kuiken, Kirsten Heukels, Liesbeth den Hollander, Monique Heijtel and Caroline Cuppens. The platform integrates with Dentalplek practice management software for workflow continuity and is paired with the existing Dental Best Practice magazine and an annual in-person event, forming a content-software-print-events ecosystem around the same buyer.

Commercially, the business runs on a €130 ex-VAT annual membership, à-la-carte courses priced at €47-49.95, and reduced-rate event tickets, with self-serve signup, iDEAL/invoice payment, and organic plus referral-based acquisition. Distribution is digital-only and confined to the Netherlands. The company is privately held under its parent (Dental Best Practice B.V., KvK 63019035), with 5 employees, no external funding, GDPR compliance, and no disclosed AI or proprietary model layer.
