The company is active internationally (9 countries and counting), based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands and our employees are of many different nationalities. So, Development plays a key role.

What we recently developed

- Laurence (developer) build a webscraper based on Python, Docker and Docker swarm. He was dedicated on this projects for a period of 3 months. the result is a scraper by which we can setup a script in 4 hours to scrape any site out there. Something that delivers us a huge flexibility and scalability in a growing need for data.
