Mendix, low code development

How Pegamento helps organizations exceed expectations today and tomorrow.

AI and mobile-first customer contact

The world of customer contact is moving faster than ever. Customers – both private and business – no longer have patience for queues, cumbersome forms or cumbersome portals. They expect immediate answers, intuitive interaction and above all: convenience. And that convenience usually starts in their pocket, on their smartphone.

Whether it is an order question via WhatsApp, a complaint via web chat or a status update in an app – the mobile device is the starting point of modern customer communication. Not as an addition, but as a starting point.

Staying agile in a world that is constantly changing

Organizations that want to remain customer-centric cannot afford to stand still. The days of months of development processes are behind us. Those who want to be relevant tomorrow must be able to experiment, learn and adjust today.

That’s why Pegamento works with Mendix Low Code Application Platform: a powerful low-code platform with which we develop applications quickly, flexibly and scalably – fully integrated with your existing IT.

But Mendix is not an end in itself. It is an accelerator. The real value is in how we deploy it.

AI as an accelerator of value

We are also increasingly deploying AI in our Mendix projects. Not as a gimmick, but as a strategic tool to increase speed and quality.

AI helps us with, among other things:
  • Automatic generation of models and code
  • Test scenarios and documentation
  • Smart support during development

This gives our teams more space to focus on the core: solutions that create real value for users.

Solutions that fit the user and the moment

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. From a deep understanding of customer processes, we build solutions that add value – at the right time, through the right channel, on the right device.

Thanks to Mendix, we are developing faster than ever:

  • Visual modeling without complex code
  • Reusable components
  • Iterative improvement based on feedback


Where you used to wait months for the first release, we deliver a working prototype in weeks that can be tested immediately in the field.

Mobile-first, always in control

We design every solution from a mobile-first perspective. Not only in design, but also in architecture, performance and integration.

Because a customer who contacts you on the go via his phone wants:

  • Direct overview
  • Frictionless action
  • Never having to tell his story twice


We ensure that every touchpoint – whether an app, voicebot or portal – is part of a consistent brand experience.

The power is in the combination

What makes Pegamento unique is its consistency:

  • Mendix as a robust low-code foundation
  • AI as an accelerator of innovation
  • Pegamento as a partner with overview and domain knowledge


We build solutions that are not only technically sound, but actually work – for employees and customers.


Real-life examples:

  • Customer portals that automatically synchronize with CRM and back office
  • Mobile apps for field staff with real-time updates
  • Conversational AI combining speech, text and intent recognition


Always mobile. Always connected. Always in control.

Ready for the next step?

At a time when change is the norm, Pegamento offers the speed, flexibility and vision to move with you – and to always stay one step ahead of customers.

Technology as a means, not an end

At Pegamento, we believe that customer contact is not a department, but a strategic domain. It determines how you are perceived, valued and remembered as an organization. That’s why we don’t just build software. We build:
  • Relationships
  • Loyalty
  • Experience

Senoir Account Manager

When a customer contacts an organization because they have a complaint, it is crucial that the employee of the organization begin by listening carefully. What does this complaint mean for the customer and also for their own organization? How can this complaint be resolved? After listening carefully the employee needs the right information so that a solution can be offered.

Designer of Intelligent Systems

Real childhood heroes I never had. But in retrospect, I believe figures like Willie Carrot or Dexter’s lab may have had an influence on me. I get energy from actually making innovative and useful products myself. Nothing like seeing the effect of a project that automates a boring task, or makes a complex process suddenly accessible.

A nice bridge to my photograph is the physical aspect of my work. By working with image recognition, I am often very directly connected to the physical world and my work is more than just programming. For example, our image recognition software ensures safety on bridges, tracks players on a soccer field or uses your own smartphone to accurately measure yourself. This combination between physical and digital provides variety and extra challenge. For me, these are the main reasons for my interest and enthusiasm in what I do!

Vera van der Plas

UI/UX Designer

As a UX/UI designer, I deal daily with transforming complex data into user-friendly visualizations. All of this topped off with a digital lick of paint which should attract the visitor’s attention to take action.

One of the interesting aspects of this field I find the effects that small tweaks, both textual and visual, can have on conversion. The psychological impact that a simple background color of a CTA button has on our behavior is huge. After all, that color can determine whether or not you are going to buy that product.

What we see and how our brains process and interpret this information fascinates me. The possibilities of subconsciously pointing potential customers in your chosen direction are endless. I hope to apply my expertise more often within our solutions in the future.

A Financial Controller within a company should not only be an expert in Finance. You must also have knowledge of the latest IT developments. Because these are also moving very quickly in the world of Finance.

At Pegamento, I can learn all about the latest IT developments. Like the latest development in the field of Machine learning and deep learning.

Through these application areas, as Financial Controller, I can further automate the financial business processes within Pegamento and implement improvements for the automatic processing of financial data.

Hospitality is one of my deepest motivations.
Not surprisingly, of course, customer service is a common thread in my career. Aspects of hospitality is being able to connect, to facilitate but mainly to make someone feel genuinely welcome. My intuition is my greatest asset to be able to put myself in the shoes of a guest. A customer is my guest.

Fed by various senses, an image forms around the client. I listen to what is being said, watch facial expressions, taste the underlying tone and get a feel for the challenge to be addressed. An image literally forms on my retina. I have to be able to see it. If I can see it, I can create it.

In this, the trick is to pursue simplicity, give the client a warm feeling that the problem is understood, receive good advice, facilitated and carefully guided to the solution. Trust, connect and unburden.

The feeling when a guest arrives at your hotel after a long tiring journey, can sit in front of the fireplace, be handed a good glass of wine and stare carefree at the fire. My guest knows it will be okay.

A picture is worth a thousand words, is an expression most of us have heard. We see a lot of things around us on a daily basis and subconciously have the ability to recognize and understand them. This ability of humans to me seems bizarre.

As a computer vision developer at Pegamento that is what I do, break down complex problems and turn them into solutions using images by meticulously extracting useful data.
With the world moving forward and new technologies emerging, complicated problems which were difficult to solve a decade earlier suddenly seem possible and viable. The future is full of new challenges and I look forward to them.

Hearing the wishes a customer has or the problems a customer is facing is important in order to then be able to help them properly. In both cases, I help find the right solution.

When the customer comes to us with a desire, they don’t know what all the options are. In this I advise them to make the right choices. When problems arise, listening to them is important. For example, a problem arises from a wrong action. By communicating well in this, many problems can be solved quickly by explaining it well. Through poor communication, a small problem can become very big.

Scrum Master

After completing my studies, I started working as a developer at a young Pegamento with a lot of ambition and enthusiasm. In the first years I learned all about process automation, now better known as RPA. I often had to rack my brains to convert the work instruction into a logical function, with not too many If-statements, so that the robot could perform the work.

I developed further and went to work as a consultant. Listening well to the customer and supporting in the pre-sales phase of projects. Executing projects and listening suited me very well. It was a small, but logical, step to now work as a Scrum Master and Project Manager. I have been supervising projects for a few years now. Such as RPA, Cloud applications and AI, according to the Human lead agile approach, We build this with a large team of specialists.

Good communication between customer and organization is very important. As an organization, you naturally want to be easily accessible to your customers. Either via social media channels or via the old familiar telephone. Often organizations do not know exactly how they want their telephone line set up. That is why I like to help them think along and give them ideas. I believe there is a solution to every problem. But sometimes you just need someone who looks at the situation a little differently.

“You get to know someone better by playing for an hour than by talking for a year.”

This quote from Plato is totally hitting home for me. That’s why I like to connect people through play. Because while playing, you are totally on, all your senses at work.
In my great role as Chief Happiness Officer, I want to do that by connecting colleagues with each other and with the organization. In a creative and playful way that suits Pegamento.

When I’m not at work, I also enjoy connecting people. I do this by organizing The Playground, where adults play games you used to play in the schoolyard, gymnasium or neighborhood playground. The pure feeling of fun, total relaxation and no thoughts of anything but playing. That feeling is the goal.

Marketing & Communications

How can I help you? That’s pretty much the first question I ask when talking to people who are curious about our services. In such a conversation, the use of senses is very important. Because not everyone is the same. One person thinks in images, while for another words are important or how something feels. For me, sight and hearing are the most beautiful senses, because both eyes and ears absorb information and can convey or process emotions.

Why hearing? Because listening is essential in contact. And it’s the key to unlocking valuable insights.

I developed this skill early on. As a child, I enjoyed radio plays on the radio, bringing the stories to life in my head.

Pim Ritmijer-Software developer Pegamento

Pim Ritmeijer

Software Developer

Programming is more than just “code knocking. For me, listening to what the customer wants and visualizing that is an important part of software development.

Actively listening to a customer to understand the customer’s full story is crucial before building a solution. When you understand a customer’s story, you can think together about a solution that truly helps the customer.

Visualizing solutions is the next step for me. What will be the route we will climb to get to a solution? What challenges are we going to face to get to the top?

Like climbing, good preparation is valuable. Even though you can’t prepare for everything, preparation helps make the application fit the client’s needs as well as possible.

What a beautiful and fascinating profession programming is.

Hearing is something you do a lot of as a programmer but also thinking, for example, when you are tasked with putting together a customer need. If the customer wants a function for his application, it is important that as a programmer you think carefully about which functions are functional and which functions are not. In this way, you will put together the most functional application possible and the customer will have a good end product. Turning needs into code into functionality is something I find interesting.

I am currently doing an internship at Pegamento and studying Software Developer. I get a lot of information that you have to process and apply. The nice thing about this is that you can learn new things but also that you can experience how it works in real business. I started this training last year and knew nothing about programming beforehand. Now I can find my own way with programming and I enjoy working with it. That you can get from a blank page to a functional application through code is cool!

Computer Vision & AI Lead

Using innovative software technology for people or business to make “things” easier and smarter is really a driving force. That’s why the connection between the senses appeals to me the most. Our brains connect the senses just like a business process connects people, systems (data) and logic. They register and trigger an action, exactly how it should be in an optimal workflow. Very cool what is already possible today when we add a lot of computational power to that as well.

Hearing also means a lot. Not because I like to listen to Jazz, Soul, Deep House or Focus-like music every day AND have to be able to listen well to interpret a wish or pain point, but more because not everyone can have all the senses at their disposal. Think of him or her with a visual impairment. The fact that in close cooperation we were able to apply AI, TTS/STT technology (which is still in development) for this often underserved group of people in today’s digital world and to improve the interaction and experience with it gives me a lot of energy and meaning to what I try to do with technology; create value.

Once when I had to choose which study I was going to do, I had a hard time making that choice. I was interested in engineering, but what I most wanted to do was just work with a team toward a common goal.

To this day, that is still what I love doing most. The technology has become image recognition and the team the computer vision department of Pegamento. So it’s logical that in terms of sense, I end up with “seeing. By using our image recognition solutions to see things in the real world, our entire team solves relevant problems for our customers. And because of the variation in customers, the places where our solutions end up are never the same. For example, one moment I am in the control room of a bridge and the next day I am on a production line for sandwiches or between the fences of a TBS clinic.

Recognizing and automating patterns. Tasks we are constantly working on when implementing our robots at Pegamento. My 2 Drentsche Patrijshonden are hunting dogs and certainly not robots. The hunting instinct and intuition is basically in their genes. Continuing to offer new forms of training has taught them to recognize and act independently in hunting situations. Even “unsupervised,” even if I’m not around.

But when you try to teach a brain something, it also starts to see things you don’t expect. Dogs pick up on the slightest deviation in your voice or directions. To start recognizing that and correcting it again is perhaps the most complex challenge. But in our work, for the wonderful clients for whom we get to work, it often yields the most beautiful new insights!

Feeling. That’s the best thing Pegamento stands for. Feeling for technology in the broadest sense of the word. Not only feeling for the exciting stuff like AI, but also for the basics of communication.

The very best part of my job is selling, listening, translating and thinking about what really matters. We bring the digital transformation with a great team!
The diversity of our team, how sharp we are, but especially the wonderful things we get to make makes me feel extremely good. Hence, I intuitively chose the sense of “feeling.

Feeling gives life and differentiation!
