KangaPlanner
with Umicore · Industry
For Umicore we replaced the Excel planning with a planning module on the KangaSuite platform: capacity against workload, scenarios, Excel import, Power BI and SSO through Entra ID, on a dedicated EU instance.
Boutique product studio · Antwerp
You know the industry. We build the software. We share the risk.
We build software with partners who know their industry inside out: industrial groups, consultancies and founders. Sometimes we pay part of it, sometimes we start a company together. The technical side is always on us.
A first call takes half an hour. After that you know whether it makes sense.

What we buildBuild: you · IP: you
Co-invest
No six-figure quote. A partner who pays half instead.
You bring
- Years of experience in your industry
- Customers who know the problem, or already ask for a fix
- The business case
We bring
- The entire technical side: architecture, design, apps and cloud
- The CTO role, as a co-owner
- A team that keeps the product running after launch
Together in one company, with recurring revenue, ideally a licence per user. We only earn when it sells. That keeps us sharp.
How co-invest worksWith partners
What it looks like in practice
Two models, two industries, each with a partner who knows the trade.
AI scribe for dietitians
Healthcare
The scribe listens in during a consultation and writes the report in the dietitian’s own template. The dietitian approves, nothing goes out on its own.
KangaSuite. Our own tools, for your team too.
We ran our company on ten apps that didn’t talk to each other. So we built our own. KangaSuite is that set: AI tools for office work on one account and one data model.
- White-label: your logo, your domain
- Data hosted in the EU
- AI suggests, a human decides
- Switch on only the modules you need

ReviewFor consultancies
You have the client. We have three ways to help.
Consultancies work with us when their client needs software that has to move faster than a classic programme and fit better than an off-the-shelf package. With a fixed senior team, inside your process. KPS, among others, already works with us this way.
- 01
White-label build
Your brand on the front, our team in the commit log. On assignment, under your framework agreement if needed.
- 02
KangaSuite under your name
Sell a product without building one. We host and maintain it, you keep the client relationship.
- 03
An industry product in co-invest
You know the industry and the customers, we build and invest along. Build once, roll out across clients.
Kangaeru
Think first. Then code.
Our name comes from kangaeru, Japanese for “to think”. That’s how we work: first find out whether something makes sense technically and commercially, then write code. Sometimes the best advice is not to build it. We say so, even when it costs us the project.
Not our words
Ik heb altijd heel graag met jullie samengewerkt. Jullie niet aflatende inzet om jullie product tot in de perfectie uit te werken is iets dat mij altijd zal bijblijven. De Vlinderpad app is en blijft een uniek project dat tot nog toe zijn gelijke niet heeft gekregen op een andere locatie. Jullie mogen dit als jullie visitekaartje beschouwen.
You started with a very good exercise of understanding our business (our needs, our customers/shareholders) first before starting the design. This was probably the key to the success, The design was then created in a minimum of time and with a minimum of iterations. Well done!
KangaCoders has always delivered quality products at good price. We have been working with KangaCoders a lot on big projects like Showbase.
Who you’ll sit down with
A fixed team from Antwerp with more than 25 years of experience between us. You talk to the people who build your product, not to an account manager.
