Fixed-scope builds
Reports against your cycle.
We run our own build cycles, deliver against agreed acceptance criteria, and report at the cadence your programme office already uses. The lead who scoped the work is on the calls.
About HorizonVale Holdings
We build applications that already know their way around your systems.
A Belgian enterprise software company — custom business applications and the integrations that connect them to the systems you already run.
What the company is
A Belgian studio for the systems in between.
HORIZONVALE HOLDINGS BV is registered in Belgium and works with organisations across the country, from manufacturers in Flanders to financial services and logistics firms in Brussels and Wallonia. Our clients are typically mid-sized to large enterprises with a mix of on-premises and cloud systems and a genuine constraint on data location.
The work is deliberately narrow. We build custom business applications and the integrations that connect them. We don't implement ERP, we don't sell licences, and we don't take on projects where nobody can define what finished means.
How the team is organised
Small on purpose, so the person who scoped it is the person you call.
A typical project has an integration architect, one or two engineers, and a lead who stays with you through handover. Nobody is a full-time account manager.
Embedded engagements
Inside your team and tools.
Our engineers join your board, your repo, your standups and your review process. Handover is not a phase at the end — it is the shape of the engagement from week one.
Integration architect
One to two engineers
Delivery lead through handover
No roles are added to the estimate to make the team look bigger. Travel across Belgium is normal and included in project estimates.
Engineering principles
The four we argue for.
None of this is novel. It's just the part that gets skipped when schedules tighten, and it's the reason integrations keep working in year three.
We'll hold to these even when a client pushes back — especially then.
-
Contracts before connectors
Data contracts get written down — the shape, the trims, the failure behaviour — before anyone drags a connector onto a canvas.
-
Failure paths tested, not assumed
Every flow has a test. We exercise the timeout, the bad payload, the duplicate and the retry before we trust the happy path.
-
Monitoring configured before go-live
Nothing goes to production without the alerts that would tell you it broke. If we can't see it, we don't ship it.
-
Documented so your team can take over
Runbooks, diagrams and credentials live with you. A maintenance team that never met us should still be able to keep the thing running.
Vendor independence
No reseller agreements. No platform commission.
We hold no reseller agreements and earn nothing from platform licences. When we recommend SAP Integration Suite, Workato, SnapLogic, Mendix, Prismatic, Tray.ai, Informatica IDMC or AWS Application Integration, the recommendation follows from your landscape and constraints — not from a margin.
It also means we'll tell you when you don't need a new platform. That has cost us work, and it's the reason clients come back.
What we recommend when we recommend
Your landscape first
What you already run, what you can't move, and where the data has to stay decide the platform — not the other way around.
Your team's skills
A platform your engineers can maintain after handover beats a more powerful one they'd have to outsource forever.
Hybrid and on-prem reality
Belgian organisations often keep systems inside their own walls. The recommendation has to work in that mix, not only in a cloud-only demo.
The same stance is written up in more detail on the integration platforms page, where the platforms sit side by side.
Where we work, and how
On-site when it needs a room. Remote the rest of the time.
On site
Scoping workshops, architecture reviews and handover sessions. These need a room, a whiteboard and whoever owns the process — not a call window.
Remote
Everything else runs remote, which is also what our clients' teams prefer. Travel across Belgium is normal and included in project estimates.
Languages
We work in English, Dutch and French. Documentation is usually in English unless you ask otherwise.

Who we're a good fit for
A specific problem beats a broad mandate.
Operations and IT leaders who arrive with a process running on spreadsheets, systems that don't talk, or an application nobody sells. Read both columns honestly before you write to us.
Good fit — when to call us
- A process that still lives in spreadsheets and email threads, where the handoffs are the cost.
- Two or more systems that should talk — ERP, CRM, WMS, a partner portal, an industry tool nobody else integrates.
- An application no vendor sells you, because the process is yours and the market is not big enough to build it.
- A team that wants to maintain what we build, with documentation and a deliberate handover.
- Data residency or data location is a real constraint, not a slide in a compliance deck.
Poor fit — where we are the wrong studio
- A full ERP or core platform implementation — that is a different trade, with different skills and different partners.
- A body-shop arrangement where people are placed without a defined outcome or a named lead.
- A vendor who agrees with everything. If you want the timeline validated rather than tested, we are not useful.
- Licence resale or a platform decision already made for reasons that have nothing to do with your landscape.
What to put in your first message
The contact page explains what to include so the reply is genuinely useful: your systems, the process that hurts, and any deadline you're working to. If you'd rather just talk, the phone number is answered by people who work on the projects — not a reception desk.
Getting in touch
Bring the landscape. We'll tell you what we'd do with it.
The first conversation costs nothing. Tell us the systems, the process and the deadline — a technical answer comes back from the people who'd actually do the work.
