What Vcc International does
VCC International N.V. is a privately held software distributor and IT solutions integrator headquartered in Paradera, Aruba, founded in 1992 by Bert Vermaas as Application Software Aruba (AS Aruba) and rebranded to its current name in 2010. The company distributes, implements, and supports a portfolio of enterprise business software products targeted at the Dutch Caribbean market, including Payroll Pro HRM (payroll/HRM, distributed under exclusive arrangement with developer Gamma IT Solutions), Exact Globe+ ERP, M-Files document management, Odoo ERP (as Aruba's only certified Odoo Silver Partner), QlikView and Crystal Reports business intelligence, ImageCapture OCR invoice processing, Sumatra operational intelligence, Commence CRM, and KPOS/KSTORE retail automation. Its technical differentiator is the integration of these disparate products into unified client workflows, combined with deep customization for Dutch Caribbean tax, payroll, AZV healthcare, and multi-currency requirements that global vendors do not natively support.
VCC monetizes through five streams: (1) software licensing and subscription resale of third-party products, (2) implementation, customization, and integration professional services, (3) recurring support and maintenance contracts delivered via phone, remote TeamViewer sessions, and on-site visits, (4) fixed-price training at the on-premises Learning Center (AWG 530 per seat), and (5) private-cloud hosting via a cooperation agreement with Dutch ICT firm Successfully. Go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales from physical offices in Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, supplemented by website downloads, LinkedIn/Facebook presence, free product seminars, presentations at venues such as the Aruba Marriott, and a notable word-of-mouth referral channel in which expatriate clients introduce VCC into new geographies (extending reach to 30+ countries including Trinidad, Suriname, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Qatar, and Kazakhstan). Customer segments span SMBs, mid-market, and enterprise accounts across hospitality, trading and distribution, government, banking, and audit/consulting verticals, with marquee references including Aruba Marriott, Radisson Blu Aruba, Windward and Leeward Brewery (Heineken Caribbean), Aruba Trading Company, and Romar Trading.
The company is privately held by the Vermaas family with no external investors disclosed. Bert Vermaas serves as Founder and Owner; Jane Wever-Vermaas leads Sales & Marketing; a core team of roughly nine consultants provides delivery. Cloud deployment is offered for Payroll Pro HRM with a unique Plan B local-server fallback in case of internet failure, and the firm maintains GDPR-aware data practices. VCC has been continuously operating for over 30 years and claims 700+ satisfied clients across the Dutch Caribbean and beyond.

Vcc International competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Odoo: Odoo is the open-source ERP suite that VCC resells and implements as Aruba's only Silver Partner. Odoo's all-in-one platform (CRM, accounting, inventory, HR, eCommerce) overlaps directly with VCC's portfolio and serves the same SMB and mid-market customer base globally at $10/user/month starting price.
- AFAS Software: AFAS is a Dutch ERP and payroll software vendor with strong Benelux market presence that integrates with ImageCapture (which VCC distributes). Comparable to VCC in offering integrated ERP + payroll for SMB/mid-market in Dutch-speaking regions, and a potential competitor if it expanded Caribbean distribution.
- ADP (Caribbean): ADP is the global payroll and HR services giant with Caribbean operations serving hotels, resorts, and trading companies. Directly competes with VCC's Payroll Pro HRM offering for the same hospitality, distribution, and enterprise customers in the Dutch Caribbean, with vastly greater scale and brand recognition.
- NetSuite (Oracle): NetSuite is Oracle's cloud ERP suite targeting mid-market and enterprise customers globally. Comparable to VCC's ERP distribution and implementation services for larger clients (breweries, banks, multinational hotels). Increasing NetSuite adoption in Caribbean hospitality and distribution could pressure VCC's Exact Globe+ / Odoo implementations.
- Sage Group: Sage is a global accounting and ERP software provider with strong SMB focus and Caribbean/Latin American presence. Comparable to VCC's Exact Globe+ and Payroll Pro offerings in serving small and mid-sized businesses with accounting, payroll, and operational software—often via regional partners similar to VCC.
- Exact Online (Exact): Exact is the global ERP software vendor whose Exact Globe+ product VCC distributes. Exact offers cloud-based accounting and ERP for SMBs globally. It is directly comparable as VCC's upstream partner and would be a direct competitor if Exact entered the Dutch Caribbean market with its own local presence.
Direct peers
- M-Files: M-Files is the AI-powered metadata-driven document management system VCC distributes through Host Access Solutions Caribbean. M-Files competes in the DMS space with overlapping workflows (invoice processing, contract management) and is named Best Overall DMS of 2020 by Business.com. The vendor-distributor relationship makes M-Files the closest product analog to VCC's DMS offering.
- Gamma IT Solutions: Gamma IT Solutions is the developer of Payroll Pro HRM and Payroll Pro Ultra, and VCC's strategic partner of 15+ years. Gamma serves 3,500+ organizations globally with payroll/HRM software. As the upstream product company, Gamma is the most direct comparable to VCC's core payroll business and could bypass VCC via direct cloud sales.
Emerging players
- Rippling: Rippling is a fast-growing cloud-native HR, payroll, and IT management platform expanding internationally. Comparable to VCC's Payroll Pro HRM in targeting SMB and mid-market customers with multi-country payroll and employee self-service. Represents a disruptive threat as it expands Caribbean/Latin American coverage with self-serve onboarding.
Regional players
- Caribbean Software Solutions (regional ERP integrators): Regional Caribbean ERP and payroll implementation partners serving similar hospitality, trading, and government customers in markets like Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, and the Bahamas. Comparable to VCC in business model (software distribution + custom implementation + local tax expertise) but serving different geographies, representing both competitive overlap (for cross-Caribbean clients) and potential partnership/expansion channels.
