Marathon has acquired Omborddata AB in Sweden and Panasoft Oy in Finland. Together, the two united companies now form the leading Nordic provider of crew management and payroll software for the maritime industry.
Omborddata and Panasoft are market-leading software solutions for crew management and payroll administration in the maritime industry. Omborddata in Sweden and Panasoft in Finland. Since our first meetings with the teams at both companies, we’ve been impressed by the depth of their domain expertise and the strength of their products.
Both companies operate in a niche but business-critical segment of the maritime sector, helping shipping operators manage crew, handle payroll, and stay on top of a demanding regulatory environment. Over the past two decades, they’ve built a trusted presence in their respective markets by knowing their customers’ world in detail.
Together, Omborddata and Panasoft now form the leading Nordic provider in their space. The founding teams remain, and we’re also welcoming Christer Bruzelius to the board, bringing decades of experience from senior roles in Nordic shipping, including as CEO of Destination Gotland.
We’re excited to support both companies in accelerating product development and building on the strong positions they’ve already earned. Their customer focus, deep market expertise, and niche products align closely with our long-term strategy at Marathon, and we’re proud to welcome them to the group!
