We are fed up with our package.
Software that is too expensive or too old, replaced by software that fits how you work. We build the new system next to the old one and only switch the old one off once the new one runs.

- 6 days
- the start sprint, fixed price

Sound familiar?
Three situations in which clients come to us. Each has its own approach.
-
An expensive SaaS package
A yearly subscription for a package you only use part of, and that dictates how you work.
Replace a SaaS package -
Excel and scattered tools
Work runs through spreadsheets, email and a handful of separate tools. Nobody has the full picture and errors creep in.
Replace Excel -
Outdated custom software
A system from years ago that nobody dares to touch anymore, or a platform that does not grow with you.
Legacy software
Switching over without everything stopping
The risk of replacing lies in the switch. That is why we always do these three things.
- First
Integrations first
We connect the new system to what stays first: your ERP, CRM, Microsoft 365, accounting, web shop or marketplace.
- Then
Data in parts, with checks
We move your data over in parts and check every step, so nothing gets lost.
- Only when it runs
The old system stays on
The old system keeps running until the new one demonstrably works. Only then do you switch it off.
- WooCommerce and web shops
- Microsoft 365
- ERP and CRM
- Marketplaces such as bol.com
What it returns
With a SaaS package you often pay for everything and use a fifth. The start sprint puts the numbers on a single page: what the subscription costs per year, what your own software costs and when it pays for itself.
If the numbers do not add up, we advise against replacing.
Case · Strive
The package out, earned back in one year
Strive, a gym, paid every year for a membership management package it only used part of. We built Strive its own software next to the package, with only what it needs.
- year payback time
- 1
The subscription was only cancelled once everything matched, and the team had been trained on the new system beforehand.
Read the caseFrom start sprint to switch
- Six days
Start sprint
Architecture, a phased migration plan and the business case on a single page. From €8,000, start within two weeks.
- Two-week sprints
Building next to the old system
A demo after every sprint; the old system simply keeps running. Build from €15,000.
- Switch
Team trained, then switch
Your team already works with the new system before the old one goes.
- After that
Maintenance and development
We keep maintaining and developing the system. The integrations and data model are documented.
Included in every build
-
Business case first
Before we build, you know what it costs, what it returns and when it pays for itself.
-
Compliance by design
AI Act classification, logging, human oversight and European hosting are part of the design.
-
Your people can work with it
We train the team that will use the system on the system itself. That also covers Article 4 of the AI Act.
-
Not tied to one AI vendor
You can switch AI models without rebuilding. Everything comes with documentation.
What matters most here: the integrations and data model are documented, and you are not tied to one AI vendor.
Frequently asked questions
Is replacing not more expensive than keeping what we have?
The start sprint works that out. You see what the current package costs per year, what your own software costs and when it pays for itself. The gym Strive earned the build back in one year. If the numbers do not add up, we advise against replacing.
How does our data move over?
In parts, with a check after every step. The old system stays on until everything matches, so nothing gets lost.
Our old system is tied into everything. Can it still be done?
Yes. We start with the integrations: first we connect the new system to what stays, then you switch over. That way not everything has to change at once.
How long does a replacement take?
The start sprint takes six days. A replacement usually takes two to twelve weeks, depending on how much needs to be connected and moved over.
Who maintains it afterwards?
We do. We keep maintaining and developing the system, and the integrations and data model are documented.
