Yaacomm

What Yaacomm does

Yaacomm is a private Dutch software firm headquartered in Leiden that since 2006 has built bespoke mobile applications (iOS and Android) and web widgets which translate complex Dutch employment documents — collective labour agreements (CAO/CLA), occupational health catalogues (ARBO), professional codes, and corporate employment terms — into searchable, push-notifiable, offline-capable employee tools. The platform is modular: clients license one of four core app types (Cao-app, Branche-app, Arbo-app, Beroepscode-app) or a fully custom build (App op maat), with optional Web Widgets and a 2025-launched AI-integratie module that delivers natural-language Q&A with source-cited answers; an App Dashboard allows clients to manage content themselves. The company serves three named buyer segments — enterprises (e.g., SABIC, DSM/dsm-firmenich, PepsiCo/Duyvis, LVNL), Dutch sector and trade organisations (e.g., AWVN, ANKO, Schoonmakend Nederland, Koninklijke ANKO, Plantum), and social funds / CAO-parties (e.g., FCB, ABU, StAZ, WOS/CAO Sport) — and reports tens of thousands of employee end-users across roughly 50+ organisations. Revenue derives from one-time custom build fees layered with recurring SaaS for maintenance, hosting, widget licensing, and the AI module, sold via a direct enterprise sales motion with free demos and multi-year contracts. Founders Shaun O'Riordan and Jeannette Mast remain owner-operators, with no external funding and recent hires (Growth & Strategy Lead, Project & Relationship Manager) added in 2025-2026 alongside partnerships with DNA and FWG to broaden distribution and domain tooling.

Revenue model

1. Custom App Development: Yaacomm builds bespoke mobile apps (iOS/Android) and web applications tailored to each client's corporate identity, content, and functional requirements. Pricing appears to be custom/quote-based per engagement.
2. SaaS / App Maintenance and Hosting: Ongoing content management via the included app dashboard, with Yaacomm able to manage updates and maintenance if clients prefer not to self-manage. This represents recurring service revenue.
3. Web Widget Licensing: Web widgets (plug-ins for websites) provide searchable CLA documents and tools on client websites, likely as an add-on to app engagements or standalone licensing.
4. AI Integration Module: AI-powered smart search assistant integrated into apps and websites as an additional module, providing intelligent question-answering with references to relevant content.

Core offering

Yaacomm designs, develops and maintains bespoke mobile applications (iOS/Android) and web widgets for Dutch organisations to make collective labour agreements (CAO/CLA), occupational health (ARBO) catalogs, and professional codes searchable and accessible to employees and members. Its offerings include a modular set of app types (CLA, sector, ARBO, professional code, custom) plus an integrated content management dashboard, with optional AI-powered search assistance and recurring maintenance and hosting.

Product overview

Yaacomm offers a modular platform of mobile apps and web solutions for making employment-related information accessible. The core portfolio consists of five specialized app types: the Cao-app for collective labor agreements, the Branche-app for industry organizations, the Arbo-app for occupational health and safety, and the Beroepscode-app for professional codes, plus custom-built apps for specific organizational needs. These are complemented by Web Widgets for website embedding and AI-integratie for intelligent search assistance. The platform includes supporting modules for information management (push notifications, news, FAQs), interactive engagement (chat, calendars, polls), calculation tools (maternity leave, budget calculations, severance pay), and support tools (self-tests, incident reporting, conversation tools), all managed through a centralized App-Dashboard.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Haiilo: Haiilo (formerly COYO) is a European employee experience intranet and app platform. It overlaps with Yaacomm's enterprise HR communications and document distribution, but as part of a much broader EX suite rather than CAO specialisation.
• Beekeeper: Beekeeper is a frontline employee app platform serving industries such as hospitality, manufacturing, and healthcare with mobile comms and document access — comparable to Yaacomm's employer and sector app use cases at larger scale.
• Icertis: Icertis is a global contract lifecycle management (CLM) leader. Its contract management capabilities are adjacent to Yaacomm's CAO/CLA document automation niche, though at a far larger enterprise scale.
• Staffbase: Staffbase is a larger, global employee experience and internal communications platform with mobile apps. It competes broadly with Yaacomm's sector/enterprise employer app use cases as part of a much wider comms/EX portfolio.

Others

• AWVN (as in-house CAO tooling): AWVN is the Dutch employers' association and a Yaacomm client, but also operates its own CAO advisory tooling. It is thematically adjacent as both customer and potential ecosystem partner/competitor in Dutch CAO digitisation.
• Indeed Hiring Lab / Textkernel: Textkernel is a Dutch HR-tech vendor focused on CV/parsing, semantic search, and labour-market intelligence. Its semantic search and Dutch-language NLP capabilities are thematically adjacent to Yaacomm's AI search assistant roadmap.

Direct peers

• Speakap: Speakap is an Amsterdam-founded employee app platform used by Dutch enterprises for internal communication and HR document sharing. It directly competes with Yaacomm's enterprise employer app proposition in the Dutch market.
• Appical: Appical is a Netherlands-based mobile-first employee onboarding, engagement, and HR document platform. It overlaps directly with Yaacomm in building branded employee apps for Dutch organisations, including document/policy distribution features.
• Blink (by Rootnet): Blink is a Dutch employee engagement and communication app used across NL organisations. It competes with Yaacomm's enterprise app offering for HR communications and document distribution.

Emerging players

• Appical Engage (formerly Tinqwise/Tinq app): Adjacent Dutch employee engagement app providers target overlapping enterprise buyers with branded employee apps, representing emerging alternatives to Yaacomm's bespoke CAO apps in the Dutch mid-market.
