Why Rumst
Rumst lies at the point where the Nete and the Dijle meet and form the Rupel. That position has given the municipality its work for centuries. When the centre of gravity of the region’s brickworks shifted from north to south, Rumst and Terhagen gained importance while Hemiksem, Niel and Boom lost ground. Terhagen was even a municipality of its own between 1874 and 1977, before it was joined to Rumst and Reet again.
Today the three parts of the municipality hold mostly SME fabric: construction and finishing, transport, technical services, trade. Companies with plenty of work out in the world and little time for admin. That is exactly the profile where a well-built internal tool makes the biggest difference.

For companies with people out on the road
When your crews are out, the biggest problem is usually that information comes in too late. Hours, materials, photos and extra work only reach the office when someone has a moment in the evening. Your invoicing lags because of it and you never know exactly where a site stands.
What we build then is something that works on a phone and takes thirty seconds to fill in. What happens out on the road lands in the file immediately. The office sees it live and the invoicing keeps pace.
Reet and Terhagen count just as much
Each part of the municipality has its own activity and we make no distinction. Whether you sit in the centre of Rumst, along the Nete in Terhagen or in Reet, you get the same approach and the same prices.
What does make a difference is distance. From our office in Boom you are in all three within a few minutes. That makes visiting easy, and you notice it in the quality of what we build.

FAQ
Questions we get from Rumst
Do you serve Reet and Terhagen as well?
Yes. Reet, Rumst and Terhagen get the same approach and the same prices. From our office in Boom you are in all three within a few minutes.
Does your software work on a phone on site?
Yes. Everything we build works on phone, tablet and computer. For crews out on the road we deliberately design screens you fill in within thirty seconds, so they actually get used.
We are a small family business. Is that too small for you?
No. A large share of our clients are family businesses of five to fifty people. We then start with one well-defined piece that saves time straight away, from around €8,000, and extend once it works.
How quickly do we know what it costs?
Within 24 hours of a first conversation. You get a fixed price and a date, so there is no hourly arrangement where the bill keeps climbing during the project.
