Do you want to contribute to a better world?

Simply pursuing a successful business is no longer enough nowadays. Positive contributions to the planet and society are becoming more and more relevant. Would it not be nice to have an inspiring job in an innovative industry and also contribute to a better world?

This is possible at ORTEC. We are a purpose driven organization and use our passion for mathematics for a better world.

You are likely to encounter us every day, as we improve many crucial business processes. For example, we make it possible for retailers to supply all their stores on time with a minimum of kilometres driven. We help healthcare institutions to schedule the right doctor or nurse at the right time. We support scouts of football talents to make better choices. These are just a few examples of the added value of our solutions. The result is that organizations can operate at lower costs, with higher customer/employee satisfaction and with a smaller ecological footprint.

Our journey started in the early 80’s with a number of young Dutch students who wanted to show the world the value of mathematics. 37 years later, ORTEC is one of the world leaders in optimization solutions and advanced analytics.
