Kvadrat Modernizes with Cinode – Consolidating Everything in One Platform for Sweden’s Largest Consultant Network

For a long time, Kvadrat has worked with a proprietary system to manage its consultants’ competencies and CVs. But as the network grew, it became clear that the existing solution was neither cost-effective nor future-proof. The system felt static and didn’t meet the needs of modern working methods.

“We needed a platform that brings everything together – competencies, CVs, and sales work – in one solution. With Cinode, we finally get dynamic CVs and can work much more efficiently with our large network of independent contractors. Now we can respond to inquiries faster and match the right consultant with the right assignment,” says Anna Leijon, Program Manager at Kvadrat.

Kvadrat is unique in its structure as Sweden’s largest network of independent consultants. The consultants run their own companies but work exclusively through Kvadrat, which places special demands on system support to coordinate competencies and availability across the entire network.

“We’re now future-proofing our operations and getting a scalable solution that grows with us. This will also be significantly more cost-effective than continuing to develop and maintain our own system. We’re impressed with Cinode both as a platform and as a company – they understand the consulting industry’s needs and are responsive,” continues Anna Leijon.

With Cinode’s platform, Kvadrat gets a unified solution for visualizing and searching competencies, managing utilization, and streamlining the sales process. The AI-driven functionality makes it easier to identify the right consultants for each assignment.

“Kvadrat represents an exciting customer type with their focus on happy, independent consultants working together in a strong network. We’re proud to support them on their modernization journey and give them the tools to work even more efficiently going forward,” says Gregor Waldner, Sales Executive at Cinode.
