Plandisc

Plandisc is a Danish-originated **circular annual planner** — the world's first digital take on the cyclical/rolling planner format — founded in 2012 and headquartered at Axel Kiers Vej 5A, 8270 Højbjerg (the Aarhus suburb), Denmark. Co-founder Torben Stigaard serves as Managing Director. The product visualises annual planning as a disc divided into colour-coded rings representing departments, responsibilities, teams, or target groups, and is widely adopted in Danish and broader Nordic education, marketing, finance, and public-sector teams. Originally a school planning tool, Plandisc expanded across industries and was acquired by **Visma Group** (Norway) — the same Nordic software conglomerate that owns Teamleader (Belgium, audited earlier in this directory). For an EU-sovereignty audit Plandisc inherits the Visma ownership pattern. The operating entity is Danish, all customer data is hosted on **Visma Private Cloud** — explicitly an EU-owned data centre in Sweden — and the company carries Grant Thornton **ISAE 3000** and **GDPR 2024** attestation badges; Denmark and Sweden are both EU members with full GDPR coverage and no SCC requirements for cross-border transfers within the EEA. The complication is one layer up: Visma's group cap table includes Hg, Cinven, **TPG (US)**, GIC, and Intermediate Capital Group, so beneath the Norwegian-owned Visma wrapper there is meaningful US-PE exposure that procurement-grade buyers should understand. Score 4/5 (rather than 5/5) on the same logic applied to Teamleader. Pricing is enterprise / volume-negotiated; specific tiers were not captured at audit. Best fit: Danish and Nordic schools, associations, marketing teams, and finance departments that want a unique visual planning tool with EU-only hosting and ISAE 3000 attestation, and accept Visma Group as the corporate counter-party. Procurement-grade EU-only buyers requiring an ownership chain with zero US-PE involvement should look at Stackfield or MeisterTask in the same category.
