Kobalt builds systems, websites, apps and automation for growing companies — the ones that have outgrown their software, or pay for ten times more than they use. We build exactly what your business needs, put it live quickly, and keep it working as you grow.

Sound familiar?
Growth stalls on software that does not fit.
You have outgrown your software.
What worked for five people does not work for fifty. Everyone works around it — in spreadsheets, in email, in their heads.
You pay for what you do not use.
A large package with a hundred features, five of which you need. More expensive every year, and still not what you are after.
Too much still happens by hand.
Retyping orders, chasing invoices, assembling reports. Hours every week that nobody sees and everybody pays for.
Services
What we build.
From a single page to the system a whole company runs on. Four disciplines, one team, and everything connected.
Websites
Fast, findable websites that turn visitors into customers — and that you can keep up to date yourself.
- Company websites
- Landing pages for campaigns
- Webshops and quote request forms
Apps
Apps for your team or your customers, on phone, tablet and computer — built around the one job they need to do quickly and without mistakes.
- Apps for staff on the road
- Customer apps and self-service
- Registrations and checklists on the shop floor
Automation
The repetitive work that costs hours now — retyping, forwarding, chasing — happens automatically, reliably and traceably.
- Orders from email straight into your system
- Invoices and payments followed up automatically
- Reports that put themselves together

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does Kobalt do?
Kobalt is a Belgian software company. We build custom software, websites, apps and automation for companies that want to grow and are held back by software that does not fit.
Which companies do you work for?
Small and medium-sized businesses and growing companies, from a handful of people to a few hundred, in any sector where work still happens by hand or in loose tools too often: manufacturing, wholesale, logistics, construction and services.
What does it cost?
Every project is different, so we do not name a price without knowing what you need. After the analysis you receive a proposal with a fixed scope and price. We start with the part that pays off most, so the investment earns itself back quickly.
How quickly can you start and deliver?
We deliberately take on a limited number of projects at a time, so each gets full attention. After the proposal we agree a start date, and the first working piece typically follows within a few weeks.
Who owns the software?
You do. You receive the source code, the data and the documentation. If you ever want to continue with another team, you can, without starting over.
What happens after launch?
We stay available for maintenance, support and new features, on terms that match how intensively you use the software. You keep one point of contact who knows your system.
Do you work outside Belgium?
Yes. We work in Dutch and English, and much of the work happens remotely. For the analysis we are happy to come by if you are based in Belgium.
Where is our data stored?
Within the European Union wherever possible, with established cloud providers. We process personal data in line with the GDPR and put that in writing.
