Solvice

TLDR

Solvice is a Ghent-based SaaS & Enterprise Software company offering optimization APIs for route planning and workforce scheduling, acquired by Quickbase on 2 April 2026.

Overview

Solvice was founded in 2015 in Ghent by Christophe Van Huele and Kenny Helsens. Van Huele earned a PhD at Ghent University researching combinatorial optimization for healthcare scheduling and built the company's first solution for a large university hospital in Leuven. He serves as Founder and CTO. Bert Van Wassenhove serves as CEO. The company operates from Kleindokkaai 19 in Ghent with a team in the 11 to 50 range.

The product suite is delivered as APIs that embed mathematical optimization and machine learning into customer applications. OnRoute solves constraint-based vehicle routing across fleets, handling capacity, skills, service windows, and multi-day planning. OnShift automates workforce scheduling and shift generation under labour-law and SLA constraints. OnPick covers warehouse picking, OnStock covers inventory optimization, and additional Drive Time Matrix and Directions APIs round out the stack. The company cites up to 35% road-time reduction through its optimization layer.

Solvice raised an early round from imec.istart. On 2 April 2026 Quickbase, an AI operations platform owned by Vista Equity Partners, acquired Solvice NV to extend its resource management capabilities. Financial terms were not disclosed. Initial integration plans target embedding OnRoute into FastField Pro and OnShift into Quickbase Business and Enterprise during the second half of 2026, while the standalone APIs remain available to existing customers.
