Our mission
Smarter work, within reach for SMEs.
Too big for just spreadsheets and email, too smart to wait for an enterprise project. We deliver custom software and AI at a fixed price and with a short turnaround, professionally, without overhead.

What youcan expect.
Our vision
Software and AI that grow with your business.
You don't adapt to standard packages: the system fits your process. Where AI can help, we build it in. Where it can't, we leave it out. Honest and maintainable.
Your contact
Laurens. Founder and developer.
You're always in direct contact with the person building your software. No account managers, no middlemen.
Let's meetOur values
Love.
Innovation.
Craft.
Good software is in the details. We refine the design, keep the code clear and test until everything fits together. We always ask why we're building it. A tool should work well, look good and feel simple. Above all, it should make sense for your business. We think beyond a list of features and keep the promises we make.
Curiosity keeps us moving. We try new techniques, learn from what we build and regularly ask: could this be simpler or smarter? Sometimes an experiment works; sometimes it shows us which direction to avoid. We take those lessons into the next project. Innovation earns its place when it helps your daily work.
We care about the work and the people we build it for. That means honest advice, direct contact and room to think things through together. We say what is possible, what isn't and when something needs a different approach. We share what goes well and take responsibility when it doesn't. That's how we build software and working relationships that last.
The person behind the software
Understanding your business comes first.
An entrepreneur first. Then a software developer. Now both — which means we understand your situation commercially as well as technically.
Laurens · Founder, AmsterdamOur story
From an idea to everyday impact.
Founded
As an entrepreneur I ran into the same problem myself: processes that ran on Excel, email, and good intentions. Off-the-shelf software never quite fit. In late 2024 I founded Voortware.
First projects
SelectWiser: software for everyday work. Software that fits the way a business works. Built quickly, immediately usable.
Growth and specialisation
Premium Yacht Supply joined. More projects, more sectors, same approach. Voortware grows through word of mouth.
Further growth
BYM Control delivered in 2026. More projects, more sectors. AI increasingly baked into every project. Quality over quantity.

Frequently asked questions
Anything else on your mind?
About working together, the process and what happens after delivery. Clear answers before we start.
What does the first meeting look like?
A no-obligation introductory call of 30 to 45 minutes, by phone or video. We ask questions about your workflow, pain points, and wishes. After that you'll receive a proposal within 2 business days.
How long does a build project typically take?
Simpler projects are usually delivered in 4 to 8 weeks, depending on scope and complexity. For larger systems we build in phases, with a working delivery every 2 to 3 weeks.
Do you work with fixed prices or hourly rates?
For most projects we work with a fixed price per phase. That gives you certainty about the budget and gives us the space to build properly.
What happens after delivery?
Every project includes 30 days of aftercare. After that you can choose a partner arrangement for further development or maintenance on demand.
