Steven Vandenbroucke
Managing Director of Sofatech
Sofatech is a successful IT company founded in 2007, with seventeen skilled employees today who focus on supporting and optimizing IT processes at SMEs. It is a company with an open culture, where there is room to unwind after hard work and where connections are encouraged, explains Steven Vandenbroucke, Managing Director of Sofatech.
Sofatech provides companies with the right tech solutions, in the most independent way possible. There are so many tools on the market today that companies sometimes cannot see the forest for the trees. With fifteen years of experience and expertise, Sofatech makes sure its customers get the right advice. It also supports customers throughout the full implementation of their tools.
From complex data to structured reporting
"Excel is still widely used to build reports. It is a good tool, but it is also time-consuming, not very error-proof and not always easy to share with a team. As a result, we see a lot of pressure landing on the shoulders of finance teams," says Bart Baute, Regional Director at EMASPHERE. "The data that needs to be interpreted is always there, but often in large volumes, scattered, complex and unstructured. Yet that data is essential for making decisions," Bart explains.
"If you have a tool that can instantly present data in a clear way, then as an SME you can get to work with it quickly. In recent years, the focus has mainly been on digitizing the input. Think of automated accounting software, invoice scanning ... The next step toward the future is automating the output, for example through clear visualization in dashboards, automated reporting … EMASPHERE and Sofatech are part of an ecosystem of tools," Steven emphasizes.
"Our partnership with EMASPHERE is fully in line with our strategy. We offer as many high-quality standard solutions as possible to avoid custom development. We also clicked with Bart right away, and it was immediately clear what we could do for each other," Steven explains.
Following the "eat your own dog food" principle, Steven also set up the tool internally. EMASPHERE is a perfect complement to the business software Sofatech implements today: Sage, Exact Online and Business Central.
A digital ecosystem of tools
EMASPHERE and Sofatech position themselves as a guide that stays close to customers and supports them at every step of the process. Especially today, many players are opening up and looking to build an ecosystem. It is therefore valuable that EMASPHERE fits within Sofatech's ecosystem and that this connectivity is guaranteed. As a C-level executive, you need to be able to decide quickly, especially in the current economic climate. Having the right tools to make those decisions as quickly and carefully as possible is essential. That is the synergy between Sofatech and EMASPHERE: helping customers with decision-making by offering them the right solutions and guiding them step by step. It is important to engage with the customer, but also to get to know their employees, suppliers, products … in depth. Only then can change management be carried out successfully.
When you are able to make decisions, you also create room to grow.

"If you manage the data, you also manage the processes or the visualization," Bart explains. "As a leader, you need to be able to decide quickly. Especially in the current economic climate, you need fast and accurate figures. When you are able to make decisions, you also create room to grow. So it is important to have the right tools to make those decisions quickly and carefully."
Bart: "Our added value lies mainly in our synergy: Sofatech analyzes the current situation and how it can be optimized for the future with tools such as Exact, BOB ... When that foundation is solid, EMASPHERE also works better. On top of that, these tools need to communicate seamlessly with the reporting. Thanks to Sofatech's ecosystem of tools, there are many connection options."
