Our Amazing Clients

Serving clients with top quality software solutions since 1994

Gislen Software provides high-quality solutions to a wide range of clients. We work for world leaders and innovators in highly competitive markets such as e-commerce, public services, transport, market research, medicine, power supply, test and measurement, education, financial services and manufacturing. Some of our clients are major international corporations; some would describe themselves as SMEs, and some are start-ups. This variety is essential to us. Most are located in the Nordic countries and the UK – many have a broad international presence or the ambition to create one. Our role is to enable those ambitions.

We work collaboratively with our clients, developing, supporting and maintaining quality software that meets their business needs – and we never stop listening.  Continuity is the essence of a successful client relationship, and we aim to be flexible and responsive at all times, recognising that client needs are paramount. We have set up comprehensive internal controls to ensure every development project is completed on time and within budget.

Clients First

At Gislen Software, we always aim to provide exceptional service, walk the extra mile and add the finishing touches! As a result, we have long, ongoing relationships with many of our clients, and long, stable relationships have become a feature of our business.

The size of a first project is less important than the potential we see in each new relationship. Today, we have large clients who started with us in a minimal way and smaller clients who entrusted us with a complete business development project at an early stage.

Whatever the starting point, we know that putting the client’s interests first is fundamental to the success of each project, and we always try to exceed expectations.

We have accumulated experience working with industry leaders such as ABB, Fara, PostNord, Q-Free, Scandinavian Airlines, SKF, Swedish Match, and Kantar Sifo. We are equally committed to serving new and growing companies such as ArchOver, Intreat, AirBusiness, Clarendo, and EACTS.

Our largest project to date is the FARA ASA Automatic Fare Collection system in Norway, which has revolutionised and simplified business and personal travel for five counties in Norway and Sweden. Other large systems include an employee survey management software developed for Kantar Sifo, part of the WPP Group, which is now in worldwide use, a peer-to-peer crowdlending system for ArchOver in London, system integrations for large Swedish clients such as PostNord and Scandinavian Airlines together with Epical Group. The success of these assignments gives us the confidence to aim high when clients seek quality and durability. Here, you can find some of our case studies.
