Plecto is a team motivation software that helps sales, customer service and telemarketing teams increase motivation and boost performance. Plecto allows users to create custom dashboards that display real-time performance data across any device, computer or television screen. With out-of-the-box integrations, instant notifications and custom recognition features, Plecto will transform your team into motivated high performers fueled by friendly competition! Plecto began in 2012 when Kristian - working for a call center at the time - went to his boss and offered to "build a way for the team to compete." Kristian and his team were frustrated with not being able to see the impact they were making on the business and believed a bit of competition would liven up the office. The idea behind Plecto was born.   After developing a working version of the platform overnight, Kristian presented to his boss a dashboard that would visualize call activity data in real time and rank employees based on their performance. His boss immediately bought a television and dedicated Kristian's time to managing and improving the software.   Once he saw the impact that the dashboard had on his team, Kristian decided to hit the road - quitting his job, teaming up with long-time friend Aleš Kocjančič and rebuilding the software from scratch.   Four years and three different offices later, Plecto is a growing team of eight delivering dashboards to over 65,000 sales, customer service and call center reps.

TheMOVE is a health-promoting digital platform that supports children’s motor and sensory development through play and technology. By combining AI, motion capture, and game-based design, we motivate children to engage in expert-designed physical activities – at home, in schools and kindergartens, or as part of therapeutic programs. The challenge is both widespread and growing. A significant number of children show signs of motor or sensory difficulties, affecting their ability to learn, regulate emotions, and participate socially. While some children receive professional support, many do not. They are often misunderstood as inattentive or unmotivated, when the real issue is a missing motor or sensory foundation. Even when children are in treatment, exercises rarely carry over into everyday life. Home programs are often based on printed instructions or verbal guidance, making it hard for families to remember, prioritise, or motivate their child. As a result, progress stalls and valuable development is lost. TheMOVE addresses this gap by turning clinical expertise into an engaging, interactive game experience. Children are guided through tailored activities supported by playful interaction, adaptive feedback, and ongoing motivation. The experience is designed to feel like play – not instruction – making it easier for children to stay engaged over time. Whether used by therapists, teachers, or families, TheMOVE bridges the gap between professional knowledge and everyday practice. It supports early intervention, improves follow-through in therapy, and gives children a more motivating path to stronger motor skills, confidence, and wellbeing – while giving adults a structured, evidence-informed way to support them.
