What Tres does

TRES internet B.V. (operating as TRES) is a privately held Dutch digital agency founded around 2000 and headquartered in Heerenveen with a regional office in Amsterdam. The firm designs and builds digital platforms for medium and large organizations across six vertical segments: education, government, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and business services. Customer logos include CJIB, Windesheim, Gasunie/Hynetwork, Koopman Logistics, ROC Midden Nederland, Buckaroo, SUSA, Z-CERT, MHC Mobility, sc Heerenveen (a 25-year client), Bosma van Ast, Civas, AB Vakwerk, Groningen Airport Eelde, SNN, and Omrin.

TRES's core offering is API-first, headless-capable platform development built on open-source frameworks. The technology stack centers on Umbraco (where TRES is a Platinum Partner with 40+ certified specialists, the most certified Umbraco agency in the Netherlands) and Drupal, layered on Microsoft .NET and hosted on Azure. Internal accelerators include the TRES Starterkit (a proprietary Umbraco foundation) and proprietary migration scripts that reduce delivery time on version upgrades, most recently Umbraco 17. The firm also delivers UX design, data-driven optimization (including Google Ads, A/B testing, marketing automation), and bespoke AI applications such as the Private AI Tool — a custom generative-AI solution deployed in private Azure environments for document-intensive workflows.

Commercially, TRES combines three revenue streams: fixed-scope professional-services projects (including standardized migrations priced from €5,000), a Team as a Service (TaaS) managed-services model deploying dedicated teams of 6-8 specialists per major client, and recurring hosting/management/maintenance contracts. The LevelUP quarterly strategic review is bundled with ongoing partnerships, creating a layer of recurring revenue. ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certification enables TRES to compete in security-sensitive public-sector and healthcare tenders. The firm sells through a consultative, direct enterprise-sales motion rather than via partners or marketplaces, and remains entirely self-funded with no disclosed institutional investors.

TRES is a Dutch digital services agency (Digitaal bureau) headquartered in Heerenveen, with an additional office in Amsterdam.

These services are complemented by proprietary accelerators — the TRES Starterkit (a pre-built Umbraco foundation for faster delivery) and LevelUP (a quarterly strategic improvement program bundled with ongoing client engagements) — and the Private AI Tool (a custom AI solution for document-intensive professional domains).
