What 2makeITwork does

2makeITwork BV is a Barendrecht, Netherlands-based full-service ICT and web development firm founded in 2008 by Michel Monster and Gerben Bazuin. The company operates as both a managed services provider and a custom-software house, combining infrastructure services (Microsoft 365, Azure cloud, 3CX VoIP, backup, networking, security) with web development (WordPress, Shopify) and bespoke application work. Its proprietary product portfolio includes QCNEXXT (a quality management system for the international AGF/fresh produce inspection market), GRAS (an online activity registration platform for municipalities and schools), the Employee Portal, League System, XXL Scan Solution (automated document scanning for logistics providers), and a Rental Module for venue bookings. The firm also holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, holds Microsoft, Shopify, 3CX, and ESET Gold partner statuses, and integrates with ERP/finance systems including SAP Business One, Microsoft Business Central, Navision, Exact, AccountView, and Profix.

The company's customer base is anchored by enterprise clients in the AGF vertical — notably Dole Europe and Dole GmbH — while the broader portfolio targets SMBs (MKB) across education, healthcare, logistics, retail, finance, construction, and government in the Rotterdam region and wider South Holland. Revenue streams blend recurring managed services and cloud subscriptions with one-time hardware/software sales and custom development projects. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, supported by a website, LinkedIn, customer case studies, and a monthly newsletter.

The firm is privately held by its founding directors with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investor. It employs roughly 10-20 staff, recently hired an additional developer, and in October 2025 purchased a second office building in Barendrecht to support continued headcount growth. Geographic reach historically includes the Netherlands as the primary market and selected international AGF engagements in the UK, Germany, Belgium, the UAE, and South Africa.
