imCode Partner AB is a Sweden/Norway-based open systems service provider for libraries, focusing on the Koha library system and the LOTS information system. The main text describes it as one of the largest suppliers of open library systems in Sweden and Norway. Koha is already used by more than 45 public libraries in Sweden, as well as hundreds of school and specialist libraries.
Its core offering is not a general-purpose developer tool, but library-sector software and technical services. Koha covers workflows such as patrons, collections, circulation, reservations, periodicals, interlibrary lending, notifications, and receipts. LOTS further combines Koha with an open discovery system and an open CMS. Services also include web/mobile solutions, migration, hosting, operations, and support. The FAQ explains the migration scope fairly clearly: patron data, MARC collection records, item information, loans, reservations, and some history can be migrated, but rules and system settings are not migrated automatically.
The site repeatedly emphasizes βopennessβ and βno license fees,β and Koha itself is an open library system. In terms of integrations, the main text mentions LOTS, open discovery/CMS, Libris updates, exporting SQL reports to CSV, and extending shortcut functions via JavaScript, but it does not systematically disclose any API/SDK. The documentation is mainly a Koha FAQ, covering practical topics such as cronjobs, GDPR borrowing history, invoices, interlibrary lending, and the periodicals module. It also references the Koha Community manual and wiki, making it fairly useful in practice, although the developer documentation system is incomplete.
For pricing, the main text clearly states that there are no software license fees, but specific prices for consulting, migration, cloud hosting, operations, and support are not disclosed. Its strengths are openness, a strong industry focus, an existing Nordic customer base, and the ability to cover the full chain from implementation to operational support. Its weaknesses are that commercial terms, SLA, API, SDK, and self-hosting boundaries are not transparent enough, and the website language and market focus are clearly Nordic-oriented.
It is suitable for public libraries, school libraries, specialist libraries, and organizations that want to adopt Koha, especially Nordic customers that need hosting and localized implementation support. The main text provides no information about access from China or payment methods, so these are assessed as unknown. Domestic Chinese institutions that need similar capabilities may consider self-deploying Koha, Evergreen, or FOLIO, or purchasing a more localized library management system service.
