Brainz

What Brainz does

Brainz B.V. is a privately held Dutch IT consultancy founded in 2008 (originating from 66Controls, founded by Pieter van der Poel) and headquartered in Nieuwegein, Netherlands. The company specializes in implementing, migrating, optimizing, and managing ERP systems—primarily AFAS, Oracle, Axians, and Zorg ERP—for Dutch healthcare institutions including hospitals and elderly-care providers. The team of approximately 25 professionals carries over 200 years of combined healthcare-sector experience. Customer engagement is exclusively direct enterprise sales within the Netherlands, with named clients including Rivas Zorggroep, Elisabeth TweeSteden Ziekenhuis (ETZ), SpaarneGasthuis, Brabantzorg, Haaglanden Medisch Centrum, Zuyderland, and Slingeland Ziekenhuis.

The company's core technology is the proprietary Zorgintegrator platform, an integration layer that connects healthcare ERP systems directly with Electronic Patient Dossier systems (Chipsoft-HiX, Epic, Nexus), ITSM software (TopDesk), ERP (Ultimo), and the GS1 Datasource for article master enrichment, without requiring middleware such as an ESB. The product portfolio extends beyond the integration platform into Optimalisatie consultancy (ERP implementation, migration, optimization, and the "Orders-op-Orde" purchase-order matching service), Functioneel beheer (ongoing functional ERP administration), Power BI-based Dashboards, an ERP Archiefoplossing archive solution for Dutch fiscal retention compliance, and an HR Dossier Migration service built on custom AFAS connectors.

Brainz generates revenue through time-and-materials professional services billed at hourly rates per agreed rate cards, with evening overtime surcharges of 50% and weekend/holiday surcharges of 100%. Tariffs are adjustable up to once every six months. Marketing is limited to LinkedIn and case-study content; the company operates without resellers or channel partners. No external funding, parent company, or institutional investors are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Ctac: Dutch IT consultancy with a strong SAP and business applications focus serving healthcare, retail, and wholesale clients in the Netherlands. Competes for ERP selection, implementation, and managed services budgets in Dutch hospitals.
• Axians: European IT services brand (Vinci Energies) with a dedicated healthcare vertical that delivers ERP integrations, managed services, and infrastructure to hospitals. Already a technology partner of Brainz and a comparable scale competitor for Dutch hospital integration deals.
• Conclusion Xperience: Dutch AFAS implementation and consultancy partner operating in the same niche as Brainz, providing ERP optimization, integrations, and functional management for Dutch organizations. Directly competes for AFAS-led healthcare and cross-vertical ERP projects.

Others

• McKinsey & Company Netherlands: Global strategy consultancy shaping Dutch healthcare digital transformation agendas at the executive level. Not a direct ERP delivery competitor but influences which system integrators (including Brainz) hospitals ultimately select.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture Netherlands: Global management and technology consultancy with a substantial Dutch healthcare practice delivering ERP, cloud, and transformation programs to large hospitals. Competes for the same enterprise hospital wallet with much deeper bench and broader capability set.
• Deloitte Netherlands: Big Four advisory firm with a Dutch healthcare technology and ERP practice (Oracle, SAP, Workday). Frequently competes with specialized partners like Brainz on large-scale ERP selection, implementation, and post-merger integration engagements.
• Capgemini Netherlands: Global IT services firm with a Dutch healthcare and enterprise applications practice covering SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft ERP ecosystems. Overlaps with Brainz on healthcare ERP transformation, integration, and managed services opportunities.
• AFAS Software: Dutch ERP vendor whose AFAS Profit platform is the central technology in Brainz's portfolio. As both vendor and ecosystem owner, AFAS sets partner economics, certification requirements, and roadmap direction that directly shape Brainz's opportunity set.
• KPMG Netherlands: Big Four firm with Dutch Technology and Healthcare advisory practices delivering ERP-enabled finance transformation and integration work for hospitals. Competes at the strategy-and-change layer that surrounds ERP implementation projects Brainz also services.
