Further growth through acquisitions
Visma completed four acquisitions during the quarter, continuing its proactive and high-tempo acquisition strategy. This included Provad, a leading Finnish AI company providing a market-leading and technologically advanced customer service platform. Visma advanced further into the Dutch market by acquiring Account Software BV and Roxit (renamed Visma Roxit), a provider of a broad portfolio of mission-critical e-government solutions for Dutch municipalities.
"We are pleased to welcome two new Dutch companies to the Visma family. The Netherlands is a strategically important region for us, and will continue to offer significant organic and acquisition growth opportunities in the future," said Visma CEO Øystein Moan.
The Netherlands is Visma's largest addressable market, and the sponsorship of pro cycling and speed skating team Jumbo-Visma has had a significant impact on awareness in the Dutch market.
Continued increase in e-invoicing transactions
At the end of Q2, Visma reached 8.5 million monthly e-invoices through Visma's e-invoicing hubs, which is a 28 percent growth year-on-year. Studies show that all Nordic countries are eager to do more SaaS invoicing, and one of the key objectives for Visma's software products is to make the traditional paper invoice redundant.
