Why Sint-Niklaas
Sint-Niklaas is the engine of the Waasland and sits in an unusually favourable spot: twenty kilometres from Antwerpen, thirty from Gent and fifty from Brussels, with the E17 and E34 on its doorstep. The industrial estates in and around the city are developed and managed by Interwaas, the intermunicipal partnership of the Land van Waas. Metalunion, Manta and the new Heidebaan-Noord are among them.
Metalunion already says a lot about the profile of the region: metalworking, machine building, supply. Sectors with complex orders, plenty of technical documents and customers who ask for traceability. Exactly where spreadsheets give up first.

For manufacturers and suppliers
An order in manufacturing drags a whole series of documents along: drawings, material certificates, inspection reports, measurement records. When those live in folders on a network drive, every later customer question costs half a day of searching.
We build systems where all those pieces hang off the right order automatically. A customer calls about a delivery from last year and you have the complete file on your screen within the minute, with the right version of every document.
Far enough to count, close enough to visit
Sint-Niklaas is in Oost-Vlaanderen and we sit just across the provincial border. In practice that is half an hour of driving, well within the range where we come over easily.
We come over for the kick-off and the important working sessions. The daily build runs online, with a new version on a test link every week so you know exactly where you stand.
Where we are

FAQ
Questions we get from Sint-Niklaas
Is Build More based in Sint-Niklaas?
We have no office in Sint-Niklaas. We work from Puurs-Sint-Amands and Boom, about half an hour away by car. For kick-offs and working sessions we come to you.
Do you work for manufacturers and suppliers?
Yes. For manufacturing we build systems where drawings, certificates and inspection reports hang off the right order automatically. A customer question about an old delivery then costs a minute instead of half a day.
Can you connect to our ERP?
Usually yes, through its API or through file exchange. We rarely replace your ERP. We build the piece that is missing and make sure both systems see the same data.
What does custom software cost in Sint-Niklaas?
A well-defined tool or MVP starts around €8,000, a full platform lands between €25,000 and €75,000. After a first conversation you get a fixed price and a date within 24 hours.
