What we have delivered
Cases
Projects that are still in production and still being developed: customisations on Baan IV, a complete ERP for machinery trade and a high-volume web service.
Customers rarely choose Van Kessel IT for a single project. They choose a technical partner that keeps building with them for years, sometimes decades. The cases below vary in nature and size: customisation modules on Baan IV with a Wercstat ERP layer next to it at an aluminium producer (since 2000), a complete ERP for trade in heavy machinery (since 2007), and a high-volume supply-chain web service for a large retailer (since 2016). What they share is that they are still in production and still being developed.
The question each project started with was different every time. The approach was the same every time: specify the needs sharply, build on a foundation that grows along, and stay involved as a partner for as long as that adds value.

Delta Heavy Machinery: nearly two decades of ERP and website
Van Kessel IT has been building Delta Heavy Machinery's ERP since 2007.

The system is now being rebuilt step by step into a web application on Wercbanc.

Large retailer: supply-chain web service in Java, continuously in production since 2016
In 2016 Van Kessel IT built a Java web service with complex supply-chain calculations for a large Dutch retailer (4500+ employees, billions in revenue). The service handles millions of requests per hour at 99.9% availability, is closely integrated with the existing ERP backend, and serves internal planning as well as the retailer's own web shop and large business customers. A companion service dashboard makes the logic behind every calculation visible in detail for customer service.
- Millions of requests per hour, 99.9% availability since going live in 2016.
- Serves internal supply-chain planning, the retailer's own web shop and large business customers from one central service.
