About Blijnder

Building software that truly works

No team of 50. No office with a reception desk. Just 20 years of experience and a phone that always gets answered.

Why I do this

I've been building software since 2006. Not because I wanted to start an agency, but because I enjoy making things that work. Actually work. Not "it kind of works".

After years as an employee and technical partner at various companies, hospitals, retailers, governments, logistics, I kept seeing the same problems. The same questions. The same frustrations. In 2018, I founded Blijnder.

The lessons from all those projects are now in Stedt and Shopper. Two platforms born from practice. Not from a boardroom.

How we work

Personal contact

No ticket system. When you call, I pick up. When you email, I reply. Personally.

Transparent communication

I'll tell you what it costs, what it delivers, and what the risks are. Upfront. Not after the fact.

Short lines

No project managers, no account managers, no meetings about meetings. You talk to the person who builds it.

Network of specialists

For everything outside my expertise, design, marketing, legal, I have a network of people I trust.
