The next digital shift

Technical innovation, for humans.

Technology should always move people forward. For over 20 years, we’ve helped organisations through digital change, from the rise of the internet to modern software development. Generative AI is the next major shift. We help organisations turn it into practical value — through complete projects or as part of their team.

Organisations we’ve worked with

Ways to work together

Have us develop a product, or bring our expertise into your organisation.

Product development

From a defined problem to a working product

We design and build software, from prototype to product. Our engineering experience guides the architecture and decisions around quality and security. AI agents support us throughout the development process and shorten the lead time.

Within your organisation

Put our expertise to work within your organisation

We join existing projects with our experience across product development, software engineering and AI. We also help teams set up their development environment and ways of working for generative AI. The intended result for employees, customers and other stakeholders remains the starting point.

What you can expect from us.

Faster to a working version

Our engineering experience remains the foundation. AI agents now support us at every stage, from design and development to testing and documentation. This shortens the time between a clear question and a working result.

Quality built into the process

Agentic development does not lower the standard. Security, privacy, testing, documentation and maintainability are part of the work, whether we are building a prototype or a production system.

Experience with digital change

We have helped organisations through earlier digital shifts: from PCs, networks and business applications to the internet and modern software development. We bring that experience to today’s AI transformation.

Value before technology

Generative AI is a means, not an end. We look for where it makes a demonstrable difference to the people who use the result or depend on it. We are equally clear when AI is not the right solution.

Works with what you have

We work with your existing systems, processes and people. We replace only what needs replacing and build on what already works.

A result you can own

The code, documentation, setup and knowledge stay with your organisation. Your team can maintain and develop the result further.

Client work

Innovation we put into practice.

  • ProRail / RET / Conclusion ForeyeT

    Intelligent Platform Bar LITE

    A platform-length LED bar that shows where the train will stop and where its doors will be, before it arrives. Travellers spread out: faster boarding, less crowding, a safer platform. Built-in radar reads how busy each stretch is. Won an SBIR innovation grant for platform-edge safety, funding the step into a live station.

  • SURF

    Content Exchange Platform

    The platform that shares open learning materials across Dutch education, part of the national Npuls programme. Embedded in SURF's CXP team: architecture and microservices, an APA 7 citation service, an interactive API explorer, internal admin tooling, and a public MCP service that opens the catalogue to AI assistants.

  • Intelligent Platform Clock

    ProRail / Conclusion ForeyeT

    Intelligent Platform Clock

    Concept and prototype for a station clock that turns the wait into colour — a block for every minute to departure, swept away one by one as the minute hand passes.

  • ProRail / Conclusion ForeyeT

    IoT SensorBox

    Hardware and firmware, delivered as a complete product for ForeyeT's catalogue: a generic controller now in ~4,000 travel-information screens, tracking power draw, flagging anomalies for preventive maintenance, regulating enclosure climate, and dimming the backlight to match ambient light.

  • Ministry of Economic Affairs

    MijnOndernemingsDossier

    One dossier that simplifies how entrepreneurs deal with government.

  • Mensa International

    International Event Management Platform

    End-to-end event operations — registration, online payments, point-of-sale integration, and an LLM-powered Telegram bot for participants and organisers.

  • SURF

    Secure BYOD Exams Feasibility Study

    Technical and feasibility study into Safe Exam Browser as an open-source route to secure official exams on students’ own devices.

  • NS / Nomad Digital

    OBIS LTE Implementation

    QA and technical project management for the LTE (4G) implementation within OBIS — NS’s onboard platform for passenger Wi-Fi and journey information, installed across 365 Intercity trainsets.
