In 2022, Onguard made important choices which impacted the product portfolio. We now introduce a new proposition and branding that complements this renewed strategy.

As part of our company’s rebranding initiative, we are strategically pivoting our attention away from order-to-cash solutions, placing a strong emphasis on credit management. This strategic decision aligns with our vision to provide comprehensive and specialised services in credit management, catering to the evolving needs of our clients while prioritising future-proof solutions. Enhanced profitability, fast payments and predictable cash flow through smart credit management is what we prioritise. Bottom line: we help our customers get paid quicker.

We wanted to take some of the good things from our past with us into the future, and together with some of the best designers from Visma, we came up with our own unique identity to show you who we are even better than before. We look forward to continuing our important work under our new name and logo.

The mission

Onguard’s mission is to make companies financially healthy. We help you get paid, and get paid quicker, because better cash flow leads to improved profitability. Our credit management solutions combine internal and external data to get a thorough understanding of debtor payment behaviour. This lets you identify, assess and control financial risks and create smarter and more considerate communication around unsettled invoices. Which in turn leads to faster payments, fewer write-offs and lower customer churn.

Onguard remains part of Visma, with more than 30 years experience in facilitating optimised working capital through smart credit management. Bottom line, we provide quality time with your customers by handling the day-to-day operations.
