24 years of solving complex software challenges

Back in 2002, Odin Consultants started with a simple mission: build software that makes complex processes work.


Since then, our core team of fifteen, led by Managing Director Alan Sorohan and Technical Director Vincent Russell, has been designing, developing and supporting software systems that underpin critical regulatory, public-sector and enterprise operations.


Here's a snapshot of what 24 years of solving complex software challenges looks like in practice:


1. The Problem (and Why It Matters)


  • Pioneering RegTech & National Infrastructure: Delivered one of Ireland's earliest public-facing .NET web applications, elicensing.comreg.ie, for ComReg in 2003. More recently, we designed and developed ComReg's national SMS Sender ID Registry, a major initiative to combat SMS impersonation and fraud by protecting legitimate Sender IDs and helping prevent their unauthorised use.



  • Managing Complex Data & Systems: Migrated ComReg's radio licensing data from Microsoft Access to SQL Server, developing and evolving its licensing platform into CASPER (ComReg Assignments and Permits). Today, CASPER supports complex licensing and regulatory processes, with integrations into systems including Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and ATDI's HTZ.



  • Award-Winning Analytics: Developed data.comreg.ie, transforming complex telecommunications market data into accessible, interactive information. The platform was recognised at the Analytics Institute's 2025 Analytics and AI Awards, winning the Business Value category.


  • Enterprise & International Projects: Extended our expertise beyond regulation, developing complex subsurface data collation (QUANDA) and 4D seismic screening platforms for Shell/PDS, alongside software solutions for organisations including Abbott and the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI).


  • Pax365 — Bringing Passenger Transport Operations Together: Designed and developed Pax365, an integrated operations management platform for coach, tour and passenger transport operators. Pax365 brings bookings, departures, vehicle and staff allocations, fleet management, compliance, payments, reporting and sales-channel integrations together in one place. Developed in close collaboration with EI Travel Group, the platform helps operators replace disconnected systems, spreadsheets and manual processes, making their day-to-day operations more efficient and easier to manage.


  • Turning Complex Challenges into Practical Digital Services: From developing pioneering instant number portability solutions to delivering geospatial tools such as SiteViewer, we've consistently applied our technical expertise to solving complex regulatory, operational and logistical challenges.


Whether we're streamlining regulatory workflows, managing complex data or helping passenger transport operators run their businesses more effectively, our approach remains the same: understand the problem, master the detail and build something better.




With Pax365, we're also bringing that experience to a product of our own — applying the same approach to solving the everyday operational challenges faced by passenger transport businesses.


Here's to the next chapter!
