Levi9 lands in Belgium for an in-person kick-off with Robaws — a fast-growing construction ERP scale-up ready to take Europe by storm. Here’s how it went.
Meet Robaws
Born in Belgium, built for builders. Robaws is a bootstrapped, profitable construction ERP scale-up that has quietly become the go-to platform for thousands of construction companies across Europe. With 50% year-on-year growth and 50+ employees, they now stand at an exciting inflection point: evolving from Belgian market leader to European ERP powerhouse, with the Netherlands already in their sights and Germany next on the map.
Why Levi9?
From the very first conversations with Jeroen Verheye (CTO) and Jürgen Deschepper (Product Owner), it was clear this was more than a vendor search. Robaws chose Levi9 based on cultural fit, aligned ways of working, and the strength of the proposed team. In their own words, they could see themselves working with our people — not just alongside them, but as one team.
The connection felt even more natural given that Jürgen previously experienced Levi9’s way of working firsthand during his time at DPG Media. This wasn’t a leap of faith; it was a well-informed decision made by a thoughtful team entering their first nearshoring engagement.
'Supportive, humorous, and exhilarating' — that's how I'd describe the energy in three words. We're beyond excited to help Robaws grow and reach new heights together.
On the ground in Zwevegem
After a digital kick-off, our Serbian team flew to Robaws’ offices for an intensive in-person session. The Zwevegem location, remote and quiet, tucked away from the city bustle, set the tone immediately.
Relaxed. Easy-going. Pressure-free.
What struck Nikola Kostić right away was the warmth of the welcome. The goal of the day wasn’t so much to rush through the project backlogs or technical roadmaps. It was simpler, and more important: to add a human layer to the collaboration. To get to know each other beyond the Daily Stand-Ups and Product Backlog Refinement meetings. And that goal was more than achieved.
What we'll build together
The collaboration will focus on fueling Robaws’ growth ambitions in a meaningful way. Levi9 will support their German market expansion by helping Robaws to deliver the features and compliance requirements needed to unlock this new market, a high-stakes, high-impact mission.
Beyond execution, the engagement is about becoming a strategic partner: strengthening engineering practices, exploring frontend modernization, and sustainably scaling development capacity as Robaws continues its European march.
This visit was about becoming part of the journey – curious, engaged, and committed to understanding what makes Robaws successful before helping them reach even further. The ambition is clear: build trust early, deliver value consistently, and grow together for the long term.
