What Capteur does

Capteur B.V. is a Dutch custom software development and IT services firm headquartered in Groningen, Netherlands. The company delivers four interrelated service lines: (1) Platforms & Portals — custom web and app portals that centralize business processes and integrate with ERP/CRM systems; (2) API Management — system integration and API design that enables interoperability between disparate software systems; (3) Consultancy & Cloud Solutions — advisory work covering software inventory, architecture design, automation, and migration to Microsoft Azure; and (4) Detachering (Secondment) — placement of Capteur's software developers, cloud engineers, DevOps engineers, scrum masters, and project managers at client organizations on a temporary basis. The underlying technology stack is built on .NET Core, Java, the Elasticsearch stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), Microsoft Azure, and API Management tooling, with projects delivered under a fixed six-step SCRUM/Agile process.

Capteur operates a sales-led, enterprise B2B go-to-market. Its primary acquisition channel is direct phone outreach (the website prominently features phone number 050 211 1460 with messaging that "calling is faster" than form-based contact), supported by a multilingual website available in Dutch, English, and German. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services engagements — custom software projects, secondment contracts, consultancy retainers, and API/integration work — all priced on a custom-quote basis with no publicly disclosed pricing. The company holds ISO27001 (information security) and NEN7510 (Dutch healthcare data handling) certifications, which position it to serve healthcare-sector clients requiring compliant handling of personal health information. Capteur is an independent private limited company (B.V.) with no disclosed parent, investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity; the operating geography is EMEA (anchored in the Netherlands), and the team is described as approximately 10 specialists.

Customer segments include general B2B organizations seeking software modernization and digital transformation, healthcare organizations requiring NEN7510-compliant solutions, and companies needing temporary developer capacity through secondment. The customer base is described as a mix of "national and international organizations," with one explicitly named reference client identified as "one of the world's largest data centers." No customer logos, case studies, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
