Why we started Capsulate
After 16 years of hands-on experience with top procurement software as industry specialists, we recognized there was a large gap in what was needed and what the marked offered—one that we ourselves faced daily. Driven by the need for smarter, more intuitive tools, we are now launching Capsulate to transform the way procurement professionals work.

Our motivation
We believe most stakeholders in a procurement process would agree that the core objective of procurement is the fast delivery of high-quality, sustainable purchases at the right cost.
An honest reflection on our profession reveals that we still far from fast, and can we really prove the quality of an identical strategic purchase is higher now than that performed 3 or 5 years ago?
We are confident that our core idea effectively addresses both speed and quality, achieving this without compromising the human aspects. Our goal is to enhance the role of procurement professionals, not replace them.
A key ingredient in Capsulate is systemic learning, which we see as foundational to the future of procurement. Unlike solutions that focus solely on AI automation and intake orchestration, our approach empowers professionals to tackle the valuable, impactful work that remains.
If this resonates with you, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’d love to connect and discuss!

Victor Havik

My journey from physics to procurement and entrepreneurship has, I guess, been rather non-conventional. With an M.Sc. in Physics from NTNU, I developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills, but it was a little by chance that I ended up in procurement. Over the past 16 years, I’ve worked my way up from a junior role to a specialist, handling procurement processes for large oil & gas modification projects, new builds, telecommunications, fiber optics, and IT. Along the way, I’ve always been fascinated by technology, particularly AI, and stayed ahead of the curve by taking several courses in the field.
Ironically, I was often one of the “victims” of inefficiencies that my own software now aims to resolve. It wasn't until 2021 that I had a breakthrough—a concept that could not only tackle current challenges but also address emerging trends, all with a single core solution. This realisation led me to take the leap and found Capsulate.
