# Go-to-Market Strategy

# Go-to-Market Strategy

## GTM Thesis

**The Fortnox ecosystem is our distribution.** 598,000 Swedish companies use Fortnox for accounting. When they outgrow Fortnox Lager (369 SEK/month, basic inventory), there is no natural next step at affordable pricing. Plock is that next step — discoverable in the Fortnox Marketplace, integrating deeply with Fortnox, and priced to be an easy yes for a company already paying Fortnox 600-1,200 SEK/month.
