Where we work

Web Agency and IT Development in Genk

Espero-Soft builds websites, mobile apps and custom software for companies in Genk. Our team is based in Brussels and drives up the E314 for the meetings that have to happen on site.

Our offices: Brussels (Molenbeek-Saint-Jean) and Lille. We travel to you for scoping and key project milestones.

The local business fabric

Few Belgian cities have had to reinvent their economy as sharply as Genk. After the coal mines came the closure of Ford Genk in 2014, which left an entire supplier chain looking for a new purpose. What has been rebuilt since is strikingly concrete: on Thor Park, on top of the former Waterschei mining site, EnergyVille runs research into energy systems and smart grids; the Winterslag pithead became C-Mine, home to design, training and creative businesses; and the Genk-Zuid and Genk-Noord industrial zones remain one of Limburg's largest concentrations of manufacturing and logistics, next to the Albert Canal terminal. For those companies, digitalisation is rarely about a pretty homepage: it is about order tracking, planning, quality control on the shop floor, and connections to customers who already run a system of their own. That is exactly our ground — business software, ERP and CRM integrations, APIs, and a website that actually brings in new customers.

How we work here

We have no site in Genk: our team works out of Brussels (Rue de la Colonne, Molenbeek-Saint-Jean) and Lille. Genk is a little over an hour away on the E314 — too far to be there daily, close enough to be there when it counts. On a software project that means coming to see how the work is really done today: on the floor, in the warehouse, in front of the planning boards, because a tool that does not match that reality will simply not be used. We then deliver in phases, with something tangible every two weeks, and follow up remotely with a demo rather than a status email. We work in Dutch, French and English — useful when your customers sit in Wallonia or across the German border. The scoping call and the quote cost nothing; the quote reaches you within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

We are a manufacturer or a logistics operator. Do you do more than websites?

Yes, and that is often where the real work is. We build custom software for order tracking, planning, stock and quality control, connect it to your existing ERP or accounting package through APIs, and add a portal or app for your customers or drivers. A website still helps you win new customers, but it is rarely where the gain lies in Genk-Zuid. On budget: this kind of build starts at €99/month over 12 months, dropping to €79/month if you sign for 24, with no set-up cost. What sits above that floor depends on how many processes you bring in, and the free 24-hour quote spells it out.

Do you come on site, for example to Thor Park or the industrial zone?

For the start of the project, always — on an internal tool this is not a luxury but a necessity: we want to see the floor, the warehouse and the screens you use today before we design anything. Genk is a little over an hour on the E314. Follow-up is then remote with a recurring demo, and we come back for testing and rollout to your staff.

How long does a project like this take?

A showcase site is usually online within a few weeks. An online shop or a multilingual site with a blog and SEO takes longer. Business software depends on how many processes it covers: we cut it into phases and put a first usable version into production, rather than building for a year before anyone sees anything. The free quote, delivered within 24 hours, sets out a concrete schedule per phase.
