Vitec Megler

The first Norwegian company that was included in the Vitec family.

In Norway, Vitec Megler has long been a market-leading software provider for the real estate brokerage industry. The company develops and markets solutions that support the entire process for Norwegian real estate agents, including managing sales leads, legal documents and marketing materials, as well as viewing and bidding processes. Vitec acquired IT-Makeriet in 2011, as the first company outside of Sweden. Vitec Megler is the result of three companies: IT-Makeriet; Midas Data, which was acquired in 2012; and Fox Publish, which was acquired in 2015. These three companies are part of what is now Vitec Megler.

“We’ve been delivering business-critical software products since 1995. Today, we have about 40 employees who work with software development from our office in Posthuset in downtown Oslo. Many of us have a background as real estate agents, so we are particularly passionate about designing the best solutions for the real estate brokerage industry,” says Marion Nilsen Laugsand, CEO of Vitec Megler AS.

Next Megler Suite is a new development of the earlier product portfolio marketed by IT-Makeriet and Midas Data. Together with Publish, Next covers the entire value chain for Norwegian estate agents and real estate agents. It is a clear, all-in-one tool that handles a fast pace, changing regulations and varying user patterns. The solution is adapted for all types of real estate brokerage. One real estate agent may need different services than another real estate agent. The system can be configured with customizations for agents of residential, new construction and commercial premises. Additional products are also included for producing marketing materials and for easy integration of the API with other service providers.

“We continuously update the solution with new technology and functionality. For example, AI and robots have become increasingly important for new services that automate and streamline the work of real estate agents. It’s important for us to keep up with technology and customer needs,” says Marion.

One customer with which Vitec Megler has a long-standing collaboration is Sørmegleren, a leading real estate agency in Agder, Vestfold and Telemark, Norway. Sørmegleren is owned by Sparebanken Sør and Sørlandet Boligbyggelag. In Grenland, they are also supported by Porsgrunn Bamble Borgestad Boligbyggelag. This enables Sørmegleren to offer comprehensive financing solutions and they have a particularly high level of expertise in tenant-owner associations.

“Sørmegleren is satisfied with the choice of Vitec as a supplier, which made the implementation process safe and efficient with dedicated resources and competent project management. With Vitec Next, we’ve streamlined several of our work processes. The platform is flexible and user-friendly, and with Next Hub, we can integrate many different solutions from different suppliers into our system,” says Christoffer Holst Aamoth, IT coordinator at Sørmegleren.
