What Presentis BV does

Presentis BV is a privately held Dutch software company headquartered in Apeldoorn that develops a web-based digital student guidance and administration system (digitaal leerlingbegeleidingssysteem) primarily for Dutch educational institutions in the Praktijkonderwijs (practical education), (V)SO (specialized education), and increasingly primary and secondary education segments. The platform unifies student administration, educational planning and tracking, individual scheduling, cyclical guidance, internship management, and a student-owned digital portfolio in a single configurable system, with native mobile apps for students, parents, and staff. It is differentiated by deep integration with the Dutch regulatory stack — including ROD connections for student registration, OSO certification for dossier transfer, Uitstroommonitor linkage, and SSO via an open API center — and by an architecture that lets schools activate or deactivate modules themselves. The company was founded by Peter Hubert (19+ years at Praktijkonderwijs Zutphen) and Jeroen Rigterink (head programmer and owner of Jerrisoft BV), giving the team direct practitioner credibility in its target vertical.

The business operates on a multi-stream revenue model combining a one-time base acquisition fee (€10,525) with size-tiered annual licensing (€2,610–€8,565 depending on student count), annual module subscriptions (€540–€740), per-student mobile app licensing (€3.90–€5.40), and professional services for implementation, training, and custom development. Go-to-market is sales-led and demonstration-based: prospective schools receive free on-site demonstrations from staff with practical education backgrounds, followed by phased implementation across four stages. Customer retention is reinforced by an annual National Day event (Landelijke Dagen) bringing together 50+ schools, a 20-school advisory board meeting quarterly, and ongoing consultancy. The company holds ISO 27001:2022 certification and is reported to be active across all 12 Dutch provinces serving 115+ institutions, supported by a team of approximately 6–7 FTEs.

Core offering

Presentis sells a web-based digital student guidance and administration system (digitaal leerlingbegeleidingssysteem) for Dutch educational institutions. The platform combines student administration (leerlingadministratie), student tracking, individual scheduling, cyclical guidance, digital portfolios, and parent/student communication into a single configurable system, with optional add-on modules for ROD national registration, scheduling, and management analytics, plus a native mobile app.

Product overview

Presentis BV offers a web-based digital student guidance system (digitaal leerlingbegeleidingssysteem) as its primary product, designed for Dutch educational institutions (primarily Praktijkonderwijs, (V)SO, PO, and regular secondary education). The platform is architected as a core unified system with multiple integrated modules: the main platform covers administrative and educational content management, supplemented by optional add-on modules including the ROD Module (for Praktijkonderwijs, (V)SO, and PO), the Roostermodule (scheduling), and the Managementmodule (analytics/reporting). The native Presentis App provides mobile access. All modules are activated or deactivated by the school itself, and the system follows a phased implementation approach (Fase 1 through Fase 4) for onboarding. Pricing is structured with a base acquisition fee, annual license/maintenance costs scaled by school size, and module-specific fees. Over 115 educational institutions in the Netherlands currently use the software.
