Two-fold focus for optimal software success
The partnership with Aertssen focused on two key pillars. The first one was all about developing new software projects and revamping existing ones. This meant creating and blending tools to keep tabs on resources, staff costs, worker scheduling, time tracking, payroll, and invoicing.
Pillar two was fine-tuning Aertssen’s software development process. They wanted to make sure projects were handled consistently across different development teams. Simply put, Exsertus had a few key tasks to tackle:
- Crafting a robust project structure
- Adopting sustainable development practices
- Seamlessly integrating DevOps methodologies
- Prioritizing and tackling security concerns
- Setting up monitoring and alerting systems
- Clearly defining versioning policies
It was time for a change!
Proactive mindset
Exsertus adopted a proactive way of working, which turned out to be a cornerstone of their collaboration with Aertssen. This forward-thinking mindset was essential, given the wide range of tools and technologies the Aertssen team had been using. Aertssen had also been struggling with a massive influx of support queries.
To cut maintenance costs and speed up time-to-market, Exsertus created a unique framework that streamlined the start of software projects and set up a smooth, standardized process.
By automating the setup of key project components, such as boilerplate code, CI/CD pipelines, standard unit tests, and templates for APIs and Logic Apps, the framework aimed to promote a unified strategy across Aertssen’s development teams. This would encourage a more efficient, high-quality, and maintainable approach to application development.
“Exsertus brought significant value to Aertssen’s knowledgeable team. They fine-tuned our processes, allowing us to move faster in the future.”
Pascal Kieboom, CIO Aertssen Group

Adopting a consistent approach has led to higher quality and maintainability of the applications. These improvements not only enhanced Aertssen’s software experience but also resulted in development cost savings.
It’s clear that successful collaboration involves an integrated approach to software development that goes beyond coding. Exsertus and Aertssen demonstrated this by basing their partnership on proactive consultancy, long-term vision, and consistent methodologies.
With this strategy, Exsertus proved to be a reliable partner, helping Aertssen manage software development and modernize applications.
