An online platform connects different parties around a shared process. We build custom platforms and portals where users understand what they can do, information is shared securely and integrations fit your business model.
Copyright in the custom code is always transferred to you
User roles and interactions defined from the start
Clear guarantees covering costs, software and security
Custom platform development
An online platform or portal lets different parties work together. Who provides something, who uses it and who supervises? We define roles, permissions and handovers before building features.
Portals and customer environments bring workflows, data and roles together in one interface. Usability despite complexity, performance as usage grows and clear architecture matter. We design explicit interfaces between the frontend, backend and existing systems. Marketplace, matching or learning processes each need their own scope; your platform does not need to support everything in its first version.
New development projects typically start from around €25,000. This is an indicative starting point, rather than a fixed package price. We account separately for integrations, migration, hosting and maintenance. You receive an estimate by component with assumptions and risks.

Fintech · Getsby
For Getsby, we built an app that lets users buy, top up and manage virtual payment cards. Several financial providers work behind that app. Every movement of money needs to be traceable, including when a payment doesn't go as expected.
We made transactions traceable and structured the integrations so financial providers could be replaced. When a payment route proved insufficiently reliable in practice, we could replace it without rebuilding card management.
Early engineering decisions determine how much freedom you have later. Tests and monitoring help us keep checking that foundation as the product evolves.

Manufacturing · Zetprofiel
For Zetprofiel, we built an order portal where customers and staff can draw steel profiles and calculate their properties. The software calculates materials, weight and price, then generates a work order for production. It replaces manual redrawing and gathering data from separate sources.
One engineering challenge was the geometry: how do you display dimensions and angles on complex shapes without labels overlapping? And how do you keep the drawing legible on a printed work order?
We separated the calculations from the controls and rendering. That let us add bend corrections later without rebuilding the drawing tool. Together with Zetprofiel, we use real profiles to keep improving the software.

A company of developers
Apart from Bas in sales and Linda in operations, everyone at 10KB is a developer. We don't employ project managers, designers or marketers. Software development is our craft, and our company is built around it.
You explain your requirements to the people writing the code. We make the technical choices understandable: what are the options, and what does each mean for reliability, security, costs and maintenance? You don't need to be a programmer to take part in those decisions.
Together, we choose what best fits your challenge. We keep considering those trade-offs throughout development, as usage grows, requirements change or a simpler solution becomes possible. Coordination, planning and explanation are part of our developers' work.
How direct contact with developers works
Ewout Kleinsmann and Roland Boon
Ewout and Roland were already programming together as students. That led to the founding of 10KB in 2013. They still do what brought them together: build software.
They contribute to all our projects every day. Their working day revolves around code: programming, reviewing colleagues' work and making technical decisions. When you discuss your software with them, you're talking to people who help build the solution themselves.
Ewout guides projects from the first outline through to delivery, keeping an eye on how the parts work together. Roland sets the technical direction and focuses on code quality, security and maintainability. You'll find them working alongside the other developers.

Agreements before the first line of code
Where a cost guarantee is agreed, the pessimistic estimate in the proposal sets the maximum for unchanged functionality and assumptions. If the work takes less time, you pay for the hours actually worked. We estimate new requirements separately.
We fix faults arising from our original development at no extra charge within the agreed scope and warranty period. The proposal specifies that period. We also agree on aftercare in advance: how to report problems and who handles them.
We address delivery findings from an agreed independent security audit at no extra charge within the agreed audit and project scope. The guarantee covers fixes to the delivered solution. New security requirements outside those agreements aren't included.

Your investment, your software
We always transfer copyright in the custom code we develop for you. You can develop the software further, build an internal team or continue with another supplier.
We make that practical too, with access to the source code, documentation and necessary accounts. Wherever possible, hosting and external services are registered in your name. Third-party libraries and services remain subject to their own licences and terms.
You stay with us because the collaboration works. Your software doesn't tie you to us.

From the first conversation to daily use
You know your product, users and ambitions. Together, we turn them into a technical approach. We explain the options and trade-offs so you understand what we're building and why.
01
Who works together through your platform, and what do they need to complete? We describe the main workflow from each role’s perspective, including permissions, payments or other integrations where needed, then choose the first usable version.
02
We estimate features by user role and identify essential handovers and integrations. The first version supports a defined workflow. Expected usage, security and growth are recorded as assumptions.
03
Users in different roles try the workflow in working versions. Tests check access and handovers. Monitoring helps track performance and failures; new features follow usage and priorities agreed together.
Our strength is software engineering. It is particularly valuable when the technology determines what your business can do and how reliably you serve your customers.
Unsure which route fits? We're happy to discuss whether our engineering expertise would add value to your project.
A web application is software you use through the web. A platform focuses on interaction between different parties, roles or providers. Those interactions determine its screens, permissions and technical decisions.
Yes. We examine its code, usage and limitations, then decide what can stay and how to introduce improvements in stages. A retainer around €4,000 per month can suit ongoing work, depending on the capacity required.

We agree aftercare and the warranty period in advance. Maintenance, security updates, hosting and availability receive suitable ongoing arrangements. For continued development, a retainer around €4,000 per month may fit, depending on your software and required capacity.
Share your project details and examples with Ewout. Bas usually handles the introduction, with Ewout or Roland joining for the technical discussion. During the project, you work directly with developers. An introductory conversation comes with no obligation.
