Quick answer
What company is behind visma.pt? visma.pt is the Portuguese website of Visma, the Oslo-headquartered cloud business-software group, and names Visma Software International AS as its company; Visma’s Porto tech centre is run by Visma Tech, Unipessoal Lda (NIF 516847384), according to visma.pt and the Racius company register.
What industry is Visma in? Cloud business software for accounting, invoicing, payroll and ERP; Visma Tech’s registered activity is computer programming (CAE 62010), according to Racius.
How many employees does Visma have? About 15,400 full-time equivalents group-wide, according to visma.pt, which gives no Portugal headcount; when Visma bought InvoiceXpress in February 2024, its Porto tech centre was aiming for 200 staff by 2025, ECO reported.
Visma’s Portuguese presence is one of the most operationally substantive Nordic-owned software footprints in the country. The Visma Tech Portugal hub in Porto, opened in April 2022, was set up explicitly as a long-term competence centre for the wider European group, focused on security, AI, and product engineering across the Visma portfolio. The Lisbon-based Nmbrs HR software development team and the recent integration of Moloni (e-invoicing, acquired in 2023) and InvoiceXpress (acquired in 2024) round out a Portuguese platform that combines acquired Portuguese SaaS scale-ups with greenfield engineering capacity.
The acquisitions also have a strategic logic for Visma’s Iberian growth path. Moloni and InvoiceXpress are well-known invoicing brands among Portuguese SMEs — a customer base that pairs well with the broader Visma group’s ERP and HR offerings. By coupling local product brands with Group-level platform investment, Visma has positioned Portugal as both a market and a software production base.
Visma is one of the clearest examples of the Nordic Tier-1 software corridor strategy: build a Portuguese engineering hub for European-wide product work, while simultaneously acquiring local SaaS scale-ups to anchor commercial scale. For Portuguese software founders considering exit options, Visma is a recurring strategic acquirer; for Nordic software companies considering Iberian expansion, the Visma playbook is one of the most replicated in the corridor.
