Built inside a real operation. Here for the long term.
VRS is a Norwegian workforce platform born on the factory floor — self-funded, privately owned, and built by people who've spent a decade inside industrial operations, not just software.
Born from real operations.
Not a startup idea. A problem someone had to solve.
VRS didn't start in a co-working space. It started inside Odda Technology — a Norwegian industrial company managing around 100 people across multiple sites. The operations team needed to track people, hours, compliance and payroll without the chaos of spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
What began as an internal solution became a platform. Rune Torblå, who grew up inside the operation, spun the technology out as Visual Registration Systems — and rebuilt it as a full workforce operating system for Nordic teams.

"I built a second business to fund this one — because I believed too much in what we were building to give it up to outside investors."
Rune grew up in Odda and started programming inside Odda Technology before VRS existed. To finance the engineering team without giving up ownership or rushing the product, he built a parallel business and used it to self-fund VRS over multiple years. The result: a software company that's privately owned, debt-disciplined, and not chasing a quick exit.
The people behind VRS.
A core team headquartered in Odda and Hardanger, Norway — backed by global engineering and delivery partners.
The core team is supported by international engineering and delivery partners, including a long-standing development partnership that adds significant capacity when needed. Together, the extended team delivers a mature, supported platform from day one.
Built different. Built to last.
Self-funded, by design.
VRS is privately owned and self-financed. No venture capital, no external exit pressure, no rush to a liquidity event. We're built to be here in ten years — not the next funding round.
Norwegian, all the way through.
From working-time compliance to clean payroll flows in Visma, Tripletex, Unimicro and Business Central — VRS is built on the assumption that you operate in the Nordics. Not adapted to it.
Operations first, software second.
The platform was born inside a real industrial operation. We design for the operations director, the planner and the payroll lead — not for the demo. Our roots run a decade deep into Microsoft ERP integration: Navision, Business Central, and Finance and Operations.
VRS in numbers.
