This is 2makeITwork
Two people, one idea, and a bold dose of ambition. Fast forward: 19 IT specialists and developers, countless projects, and a mountain of experience later. What drives us? Technology that truly works, people who make the difference, and a good measure of fun in everything we do.
We believe in IT that works
IT should make life easier, not more complicated. For us, it’s all about smart solutions that make your work more fun, faster, and more efficient. We’re driven to always find the best approach—not off-the-shelf fixes, but tailor-made solutions that truly fit you.
Our strength? Listening and thinking along. Every client, every project, every challenge is unique. That’s why we adapt like a chameleon, delivering exactly what you need.
Together, we make sure IT works, and keeps working.
⚡ Decisiveness is in our DNA
No half measures, no empty promises. Our team always goes for the best solution and won’t stop until we make real impact. We stand by what we deliver.
🔄 Flexible when it matters
No hassle, no red tape. We think along with you, switch gears quickly, and adapt when needed. With short lines of communication and a down-to-earth approach, we keep the process smooth and efficient.
🧠 Expertise down to the last detail
IT should just work. Period. With our knowledge, transparent processes, and clear communication, we make the complex simple. Our team combines professionalism with a personal, human touch.
❤️ Committed from day one
We listen, truly. We dive into your business, think along, and act as if we’re part of your own team. Your success is our success. It’s that simple.
🔥 Fueled by passion
We’re always aiming higher. We challenge ourselves, look for smarter alternatives, and mix standard solutions with creative custom work. That’s how we keep finding the perfect blend to make IT really work for you.
ISO certified, because we care about quality
Since 2020, we’re officially certified for both ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 27001 (information security). With our integrated management system, we meet the requirements of both standards. This system helps us manage quality and information security across everything we do—making sure we comply with all relevant legal, business, and contractual security obligations.
Great collaboration = greater results
At 2makeITwork, everything starts with people. We’re a close-knit team that supports each other, shares the ups and downs, and celebrates wins together. That same personal and open way of working extends to our clients: we listen, think along, and aim for the very best outcome: together.
And it works. Many of our new clients come through glowing recommendations from existing ones. And interns? Most of them never want to leave. That makes us proud—and proves that working with us simply feels good.

Join the crew!
We’re growing fast, and your skills are exactly what we need! ICT specialist or developer: if you’re quick on your feet, love smart solutions, and bring a good sense of humor, you’ll fit right in with us.
Our timeline
We go way back! For 17 years, we have been passionately building smart IT solutions. What started with two people has now grown into a close-knit team of 19 colleagues, spread across two departments that work together seamlessly.
Curious about our journey? Check out our timeline and see how we’ve grown!
In the beginning...
2makeITwork was founded in 2008 in ‘s-Gravendeel. Michel and Gerben have worked together on various projects since 1997 and in 2008 decided to start for themselves. The goal of 2makeITwork will be to provide customized ICT solutions for various disciplines.
International business
2makeITwork went international for the first time in 2009, for an appointment in Birmingham to be exact. Several trips abroad followed in the following years. We work with big names in the international AGF market, traveling to England, Germany, Belgium, Dubai and South Africa to do so. We can also now be found abroad with regularity, for clients such as Dole and Greenyard.
From 's-Gravendeel to Rotterdam
2makeITwork runs like a train! We are moving to an office on the Vasteland in Rotterdam: a central location, easily accessible for our customers and employees. The customer base continues to expand. We have a wide variety of customers, from AGF to education and from retailers to auction houses. We have now doubled in size and are four people in the office.
Development of GRAS
In 2014, 2makeITwork kicked off the development of GRAS. GRAS is a custom software solution that allows children to register online for activities organized by municipalities and community schools. Activity providers can easily monitor data with this tool. GRAS is a product that we continue to develop and optimize, tailored to the needs of each individual customer.
2makeITwork and healthcare
In 2015, we are tapping into a new market: healthcare. Our first healthcare client is Maternity Care Rotterdam, a major player in our region. This tastes like more, both for us and from the healthcare industry, and we now have several (maternity) care organizations in our client base.
#2makeITmove
The company continues to grow and our office on the Mainland is bulging! We have more employees than offices and decide to move to Kratonkade in Rotterdam. Here we are remodeling and creating an open office with more than enough space for our (now 8) employees. What a space!
Development and metamorphosis QCNEXXT
QCNEXXT is a 2makeITwork product. First developed in 2012, QCNEXXT has continuously evolved over the years—shaped and improved by the custom needs of its users. In 2018, QCNEXXT underwent a major metamorphosis, both functionally and externally – and is now the most user-friendly QMS in the inspection landscape.
Accredited training company
We are happy to take on students for a part-time or graduate internship. Mentoring fresh, young employees gives us energy and inspiration. In 2020, our hard work will be rewarded with the title of “Recognized Training Company.”
ISO 9001 and ISO 27001
2020 was also the year of our ISO certifications. With the integrated management system, we manage the quality and information security aspects of our business operations and thereby comply with all relevant legal, business and contractual security obligations.
#2makeITmoveagain
In mid-2020, we purchased our office building in Barendrecht. Meanwhile, we had outgrown our premises in Rotterdam and were moving to premises with more space. In December, our move to our building in Barendrecht took place.
New office building in Barendrecht
In October 2025, we purchased our second office building in Barendrecht. After five years, we will grow out of our current location. Next year we will move to our new premises. But first… rebuild! Curious how it will be? Follow our renovation vlogs on LinkedIn and stay up to date on all developments.
What now?
And now we work daily with a fine team on the most beautiful ICT and web development projects! And there is always more in the pipeline…. Curious? Follow us on LinkedIn!
