Vermeulen: A Satisfied Cafca Customer for Over 20 Years

Strong Trust from the Foundation
Vermeulen, building technologies, based in Wetteren, was founded in 1986 by Peter Vermeulen. At the time, the company started by providing total technology solutions for luxury villas. In the 1990s, they expanded their portfolio to include commercial buildings, office complexes, and large-scale retail projects. They continue to serve both luxury residential and large-scale commercial sectors to this day.

Since then, they have evolved into a total contractor for multi-technologies and have become a true "green business." They are committed to sustainable energy; from solar panels to heat pumps, they manage the entire study, design, execution, and aftercare of green projects.

Wouter Vermeulen, Peter’s son and the current Managing Director of Vermeulen, building technologies, personally reached out to us to express his long-standing collaboration with and trust in Cafca.

Collaboration from Day One
"My father, Peter, first got in touch with Jean-Pierre from Cafca in 2000. They shared the same frustrations: poorly organized data, an inefficient back office, and time wasted on administrative red tape. Both realized in the early years of software integration that good organization and smooth administration are of paramount importance. It is the only way to maintain efficiency and keep a business running."

"After implementing Cafca, we noticed that our purchasing was 10% more efficient than in the period without administrative software. This year marks our 23rd year as a customer—just do the math on how much time and money we have saved! In fact, Cafca pays for itself through those savings alone." – Wouter Vermeulen, Managing Director
Room for Scaling and Useful Integrations
"In the early days, Vermeulen was a smaller company. At that time, Cafca was a very broad platform for us, but their software provided the room we needed to scale. Cafca is a brilliant product for evolving from a small to a medium, and ultimately, a large company.

Currently, we utilize everything Cafca has to offer: DigaBon (digital work orders), Cafca Catalog Builder, Track & Trace... you name it. We exploit the full potential of the software. And where Cafca hasn't developed a module themselves, they provide convenient integrations with third parties. Thanks to the numerous links with accounting programs and suppliers, the possibilities are virtually limitless."

"Because all administration and business information is centralized in Cafca, the follow-up and my takeover of the company went very smoothly. This allowed me to focus on structural growth and acquisitions without losing time to hours of administrative hassle." – Wouter Vermeulen

Optimal Aftercare and Accessible Helpdesk
"The service from Cafca is also excellent. They pay a great deal of attention to their customers, and the aftercare they provide is optimal. If we have a question or a software issue, it is noted immediately, and they provide an appropriate solution as quickly as possible.

Since our very first collaboration with Cafca, we have been true brand ambassadors. We recommend the software to every installer and installation company."
