Since its founding in 2017, Plingot, which specializes in app development, data programming, and IT consulting, has demonstrated an incredible growth journey. In 2023, they reached a turnover of 18.4 million SEK and employed 15 staff members. With a growth rate of 368% from 2020 to 2023, Plingot far exceeds the criteria required to qualify as a Di Gasell, an award that celebrates Sweden's fastest-growing companies.
"It is a great honor to once again receive the Gasell of the Year award in Kronoberg. In a region so marked by entrepreneurship, it truly feels special,"”says CEO and co-owner Mio Nilsson. "We haven’t been chasing awards in any way; we have simply focused on doing what we do best, and this has been the result."
Co-owner Andreas Ekeroth shares: ”"I believe our winning again this year is largely due to the way we work. We have built a flat organization without unnecessary overhead costs where the focus is always on core activities. We have no middle managers, and we are all developers who, in one way or another, are part of the delivery. This gives us a strong advantage during economically challenging times."
Plingot is unique not only in its organizational structure but also in how it operates as a supplier. Plingot strives to work on projects where they can take a more significant stake, as co-owners or, in some cases, even majority owners. "This gives us long-term potential and the opportunity for more revenue streams beyond just consulting services," Andreas explains.
The core of Plingot's success is their exceptional team of developers whose expertise, especially in 3D visualization and app development, is in high demand globally. Mio and Andreas, both developers themselves, understand the motivations of their employees and share their passion. "We try to take on projects that excite and challenge our team as much as possible. It drives our motivation and allows us to continuously be innovative," says Mio.
Moreover, Plingot is driven by a vision to improve and streamline its own operations. "We have a constant drive to enhance our business, and as developers, it is in our nature to create systems that streamline processes," Andreas explains. Examples include the system they developed to automate their invoicing or the app they created to keep track of the scores in their ongoing office ping-pong tournament.
It is these underlying motivations, the efficient organizational structure, and the high level of competence that has enabled Plingot to once again receive this prestigious award. Their goal moving forward is continued growth and development of their operations, alongside new projects as co-owners and development partners. "This focus has paid off so far, so we must be doing something right,", says Andreas, with Mio agreeing.
