Zoomworks

What Zoomworks does

ZoomWorks B.V. is a privately held Dutch production studio headquartered in Deventer, Netherlands, operating under a proprietary 'Virtual Explaining' methodology that delivers custom instructional, service, and safety video content to enterprise and government buyers. The company produces 2D animations, 3D animated video manuals, interactive videos with branching and data capture, personalized videos, 360-degree video, VR experiences and VR training, and 3D projection mapping. Underlying capabilities are delivered through an in-house team of animators, a sound engineer, project managers, and business developers; production is supported by an integration with the Blue Billywig interactive video platform for interactivity, personalization, and GDPR-compliant data collection. All output is delivered as bespoke projects rather than packaged software.

The business model is professional services / project-based, with publicly disclosed per-project price bands ranging from approximately €1,200–€4,000 for explainer animations up to €10,000–€50,000 for high-end VR and projection mapping work. Go-to-market is consultative direct sales driven by website portfolio, case studies (Quooker, GGD, CBR, Port of Rotterdam, Rabobank, Fokker, PWN, Wagenborg, Envalior, Amcor, Kingglass, and others), content marketing, and inbound demo requests. Customer concentration is spread across at least 15 named logos spanning industrial manufacturing, safety/compliance, customer service, training, marketing, and government/healthcare — though the Quooker relationship (approximately 150 installation/instruction videos) appears to be a multi-year anchor engagement.

The company has no external investors, no subsidiaries, no API or SaaS product, and is founder/management-owned. Recognized growth has been externally validated by the Gazellen Award. The studio's competitive position rests on its codified Virtual Explaining methodology, in-house multi-disciplinary production capability, modular reusable 3D content libraries that create switching costs at the customer side, and a track record across regulated and high-stakes use cases (safety, theory examinations, gangway systems, traffic exams).
