ITPlace

What ITPlace does

ITPlace (legally Deep Place srl) is a Belgian private software studio founded in 2018 and headquartered in Louvain-la-Neuve, operating as a 360° Software Studio that combines strategic advisory, software execution, and an entrepreneurial ecosystem within a single structure. The company serves B2B clients — primarily CEOs, founders, and project leaders — across four regulated verticals: healthcare (Medicalex, an administrative management platform for medical and judicial experts), telecommunications (Billova, a billing and e-commerce platform), logistics and transport (LocaSoft), and legal/compliance (iTraceiT, a blockchain-based traceability platform scaled independently to 100+ production clients).

Delivery is governed by the proprietary Software Foundry, a 7-step methodology (Discover, Differentiate, Design, Architect, Build, Launch, Compound) branded with the 'Approved by IT Place' quality label, and the S.E.E. framework (Strategy, Execution, Ecosystem). The studio executes custom development projects — typically billed with a 40% deposit and 60% against monthly progress — alongside recurring subscription contracts, with €140/hour rates for change requests and invoice factoring via Koalaboox and Edebex to manage cash flow.

The go-to-market motion is consultative and direct: a 30-minute 'Discutons' discovery call converts into HubSpot-scheduled demos targeting enterprise and mid-market buyers. In 2026, ITPlace joined The Gateway Group and anchored the first project hub of The POD at Louvain-la-Neuve, formalizing an ecosystem of founders, investors, and operators that extends its service offering beyond software delivery into go-to-market and capital access. The firm reports 25% annual growth since founding, 10+ platforms in production, and operates with a disclosed core team of 6 named members against an 11-50 employee range.

Core offering

ITPlace is a 360° Software Studio that designs, builds, and operates custom software for B2B clients across four regulated verticals: healthcare (Medicalex), telecom billing (Billova), logistics/transport (LocaSoft), and legal/compliance traceability (iTraceiT). Engagements combine strategic advisory with end-to-end software development under the proprietary 7-step "Software Foundry" methodology, supported by an ecosystem of technical experts and partners via The POD and The Gateway Group.

Product overview

IT Place operates as a 360° Software Studio offering a portfolio of sector-specific software platforms alongside strategic consulting and execution services. The core product portfolio consists of four distinct platforms developed in-house: Medicalex (healthcare administrative management), Billova (telecom billing), LocaSoft (logistics/transport), and iTraceiT (blockchain traceability/compliance). These platforms share a common development methodology (Software Foundry, a 7-step process) and quality standard ('Approved by IT Place'), but serve different vertical markets with specialized functionality. Beyond software platforms, IT Place provides strategic advisory services and custom software development execution using its S.E.E. (Strategy, Execution, Ecosystem) framework.

Direct peers

• Thoughtworks: Global tech consultancy pairing strategy and design with engineering delivery under proprietary delivery frameworks. IT Place's Software Foundry methodology and S.E.E. positioning mirror Thoughtworks' studio-style differentiation in a leaner European footprint.
• Devoteam: European IT/digital transformation firm combining strategy advisory with technology execution across telecom, healthcare, and public sector. Closely mirrors IT Place's verticalized services + own-platforms model at a comparable mid-market scale.
• Wavestone: European mid-size IT/management consultancy pairing strategy advisory with technology execution. Similar positioning to IT Place's S.E.E. framework, with comparable enterprise and mid-market client mix.
• Sopra Steria: Franco-Belgian IT services and software vendor with deep regulated-vertical practices (healthcare, public sector, defense). Comparable mix of custom delivery and own-IP software products targeting the same Belgian/European buyer base as IT Place.

Broad incumbents

• Capgemini: Global IT services leader with significant Belgian delivery capacity and dedicated healthcare, telecom, and logistics practices. Operates above IT Place in scale but competes for the same regulated-vertical custom-development and platform engagements.
• McKinsey Digital: Digital strategy + execution practice within McKinsey combining advisory with technology build. Closely aligns with IT Place's 'strategy-first' S.E.E. front-end, though operating at enterprise-only scale with much deeper resourcing.
• Accenture: Largest global IT/strategy consultancy with Belgian offices serving healthcare, telecom, and logistics sectors. Competes with IT Place for enterprise custom-development mandates and offers a far broader ecosystem but lacks IT Place's boutique vertical focus.
• Deloitte Digital: Strategy-house digital arm combining consulting advisory with technology execution and ecosystem partnerships. Mirrors IT Place's 'strategy precedes code' framing at substantially greater scale.

Regional players

• Delaware Consulting: Belgian-founded enterprise technology consultancy (ERP/digital) with similar European mid-market services profile. Regionally comparable scale and Belgian market positioning to IT Place.

Emerging players

• Talan: French-founded European IT consulting firm expanding internationally with services spanning custom development and sector-specific platforms. Comparable mid-market focus but with broader geographic footprint than IT Place's Belgium-anchored delivery.
