The story behind KOMPACT

I’m Kristian Komlenić, the founder of KOMPACT. Before business, there was competitive swimming — years of it. It’s a sport where progress doesn’t come from talent but from structure: repetition, measurement, adjusting the process day after day. That way of thinking never left me.

Swimming carried me across the ocean: an athletic scholarship in the US, then a bachelor’s and a Master of Science at Purdue — supply chain analytics and global supply chain management. I put it straight to work — two American companies, then global logistics in the Netherlands: systems, processes and tools that save big companies time and money. And then it hit me where all of that was missing most — back home. I returned to Zagreb to build KOMPACT.

That’s why automation and business transformation appeal to me more than classic sales — it’s the same principle I trained for years, applied to a business instead of a pool: a clear process you can repeat, measure and improve, instead of growth left to chance.

I work with Croatian companies and small businesses on structuring their operations, automating manual work and digital transformation — not just in sales, but across the whole company: procurement and supply chain, finance and beyond. I’ve worked inside those departments myself, so I want to understand them fully and remove the tasks people still do by hand that a system could do for them — concrete, everyday actions. I do this through three equal branches: my own services (sales, automation, consulting, transformation), BillKO for fiscal invoicing and e-invoicing, and TicketKO for businesses that run on bookings — tours, activities, rentals. I represent BillKO and TicketKO because they solve the two problems I see most often in Croatian SMEs: compliance with the e-invoicing/Fiscalization 2.0 rules, and reservations scattered across too many channels. And when you need something broader than that — structure, automation, transformation — that’s what my own services are for.
