Our headquarters is in Gent Belgium, from where we have successfully launched activities in BeNeLux and the UK. From these offices, we’re serving a strongly growing client base, including the big 4, in 15 countries with 180+ colleagues.
Since November 2023 we are proudly part of Visma – the European leader in mission-critical cloud software, enjoying the power of the Visma brand and resources whilst retaining business autonomy and go-to-market freedom.

What’s the product team like?
The product team is a cross-functional team where engineers work together closely with product managers and product designers. The team’s input is a user or business problem and which it can solve with a high degree of autonomy.
From day one all profiles are involved in understanding the problem, ideating solutions and doing quick experiments to prove that a certain solution will actually lead to the desired outcome. The setup of the team is largely based on the book “Inspired” by Marty Cagan.
