What BYTE24 does

BYTE24 B.V. is a privately held Dutch custom software development agency headquartered in Schagen, Noord-Holland (Witte Paal 324, 1742 LE), founded and co-owned by Luc Swart and Lucas Fuhrmann. The company delivers bespoke digital solutions — including business applications, ERP-style systems, dashboards, B2B portals, websites, webshops, integrations, and UI/UX design — primarily to Dutch SMEs and mid-market companies across diverse verticals such as horticulture, direct mail, food service, healthcare, education, logistics, and retail. Named enterprise clients include Erasmus MC, Radboud UMC, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Intermail, Louter, Lavish, Aar Finance, and Zabo Plant, alongside numerous SMB engagements.

The company's core technology is a proprietary modular software platform branded 'Modulaire Software' (modulairesoftware.nl), which provides reusable building blocks (order management, CRM, invoicing, planning boards) that are assembled and customised per client. This platform-plus-modules approach sits between pure custom development and off-the-shelf SaaS, enabling faster delivery at lower cost while retaining flexibility. The stack is full-stack web and app development using NodeJS, PHP/Laravel, and Shopify for e-commerce, with an API-first architecture supporting documented integrations into Exact Online, Visma Net, Shopify, Moneybird, DHL, PostNL, Hermes, Routific, LogicTrade, and VPlan. A purpose-built vertical product, Voorraadbeheer, targets flower bulb growers and arable farmers with subscription-based inventory management (tiers COMPLEET and MAATWERK).

BYTE24 operates a consultative, sales-led go-to-market anchored by a free consultation CTA (vrijblijvend adviesgesprek) across the website. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services engagements (custom software, websites, webshops, integrations, design) supplemented by recurring subscription revenue from the Voorraadbeheer product. Pricing is quote-by-scope and not publicly disclosed. The company reports 100+ delivered projects and 100+ active customers, operates with a small team (firmographic of 6 employees; about-page references '10 specialisten'), is bootstrapped with no external funding, and is actively hiring for a NodeJS developer and software development intern. Marketing is digital and content-driven via the website, SEO, case studies, client testimonials, and partnership referrals.

This is the primary revenue driver. Terms are project-based or via time-and-materials contracts, as evidenced by the general terms covering development, acceptance testing, and pricing. No recurring licensing of the custom code is granted to clients (source code withheld unless explicitly agreed in writing).

The Voorraadbeheer product includes a complete system with 24/7 support, unlimited users, and optional ERP integration. The MAATWERK tier includes ERP linkage and special requirements, indicating a semi-custom product offering.

Core offering

BYTE24 is a Dutch custom software development agency that designs and builds bespoke business applications, ERP systems, B2B portals, dashboards, automations, websites and webshops for SMEs and mid-market companies. In addition to professional services, the company operates a proprietary modular software platform (Modulaire Software) and a vertical-specific inventory management product (Voorraadbeheer) for flower bulb growers and arable farmers. Offerings span custom development, system integrations with ERP/accounting/logistics platforms, Shopify implementations, and design/brand identity work.

Product overview

BYTE24's product portfolio consists of a proprietary inventory management product (Voorraadbeheer) and a modular software platform (Modulaire Software) that together serve the full spectrum from niche sector-specific tools to enterprise-grade business platforms. Voorraadbeheer targets flower bulb growers and arable farmers with a purpose-built, web-based stock tracking system, while Modulaire Software serves as the company's core platform — a reusable module library (order management, CRM, invoicing, production planning) that BYTE24 assembles and customizes per client to build ERP systems, B2B portals, and business dashboards. This platform-plus-modules architecture allows BYTE24 to offer both standardized and fully bespoke solutions, with Modulaire Software underpinning most of the company's case studies including Intermail, Louter, and Lavish.

• Valtech: Global digital transformation agency with Dutch roots offering custom platform development, integrations, and e-commerce at enterprise scale. Competes for the same Dutch enterprise and mid-market custom-software work.
