Our vision

Operations are complex. Drivers, nurses, planners, and shift workers operate in environments where the margin for error is small and the consequences of getting it wrong are real - for businesses and for people. We believe technology should make that harder job easier. Not by removing people from the equation, but by removing the noise and complexity that gets in their way. When our software works well, planners make better decisions, schedules are fairer, and the people who keep organizations running can focus on what they do best. We call it making work flow.

OUR HISTORY

A legacy of optimization

A small group of Dutch students founded ORTEC in 1981 with a simple conviction: mathematics could solve the world's most complex operational problems.

Key acquisitions in load building (Logiplan) and SAP technology (Fanside), together with the opening of our US office, expanded both what we could offer and where we could operate. This decade built the technical foundations that still underpin our software today.

Expansion into the UK, CEE, Australia, and New Zealand established ORTEC as an international business. New capabilities in transport optimization and consulting followed.

A decade of strategic partnerships and acquisitions — including ImgZine and NewHealth Group — extended our reach into Brazil, Denmark, Poland, and Singapore, deepening our expertise across health and logistics.

We've sharpened our focus on our core mission: delivering world-class optimization software and decision intelligence expertise that makes work flow.
