What Tambien does

Tambien is a privately held Dutch web application development agency founded in 2006 and headquartered in Tilburg, Netherlands. The company builds bespoke web applications for small and medium-sized European production companies, with a core specialization in deep integration with backend ERP systems, particularly Isah, Infor LN, Ridder IQ, and Microsoft Dynamics/NAV. Its portfolio is organized around six product areas: custom web applications, commerce (webshops, dealer portals, product configurators, spare parts), planning (detailed and rough-cut production planning, employee scheduling, Gantt visualization), production (shop floor control, time tracking, mobile logistics, inventory), service (service portals, field service, RMA, spare parts webshop), and integrations (including a proprietary standard API for Isah ERP). Notable named solutions include WLApp for Westlandia, ipso.community for cancer care centers, Sample Studio for TextielLab, and Rental Fleet Planning for IQIP.

Tambien operates on a project-based professional services model, generating revenue through custom development and ongoing integration and support work. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and prospective clients are directed to a 'Samenwerken' (Collaboration) inquiry form on the company's multilingual website. The company highlights 314 completed projects across 233 customers over 19 years and maintains a 6-person delivery team with active hiring of .NET developers. Its go-to-market is consultative and project-led, relying on case-study showcasing, direct inquiry, and a multilingual website (Dutch, English, German, French) to reach European SME production companies, rather than resellers, marketplaces, or product-led funnels.
