RS-DATA

What RS-DATA does

RS-DATA bvba is a Belgian private limited company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Tienen, operating as a micro-scale IT services and industrial automation provider with a staff of 1–10 supplemented by specialist freelancers. The company is organized around three pillars: Business Automation (PLC programming and control systems across Siemens S5/S7, Allen Bradley, Beckhoff, and Omron; HMI/visualization on WinCC, Protool, and Fix Demag; and full project management for automation deployments); Office Automation (LAN/WAN and wireless networking via Cisco and Linksys partnerships, data recovery, virus and spyware removal, laptop/PC repair, and web design/hosting); and a portfolio of proprietary vertical software products (BBC SMALL invoicing, FACTURAMA construction management, VERITRADE field sales, BOOKASSIST accounting, FUNERALL 2000 for funeral directors, and BIRDS for bird breeders), plus bespoke software development including SAP integration work.

Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services (PLC projects, custom software, repairs), recurring maintenance and 24/7 helpdesk contracts backed by ISL Light remote desktop support, one-time software licenses for its proprietary packages, and hardware resale via an online shop and an auction platform for bankrupt-stock goods. Customer segments span large industrial enterprises (cited historical clients include Siemens, Procter & Gamble, Ford, Opel, Benteler, Corus Aluminium, Electrabel, UTi, Fabricom, and Geyer Gruppe), Belgian SMBs on service contracts, and walk-in individual consumers at the Tienen storefront.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: phone (+32 16 820712), email ([email protected]), a multilingual website, downloadable netmeeting tools for virtual consultations, and e-commerce storefronts. No external funding, acquisitions, leadership changes, or AI capabilities are disclosed, and the public website carries a 2005 copyright, indicating a traditional, relationship-driven operating model with limited recent digital investment.
