Our Portfolio


About us


In 2011 I founded The Convenience Factory to create user experiences with the philosophy that the user should not adapt to a product, but the product should adapt to its user's needs and habits. Or in other words: we put the user back in control!

Today this philosophy has been extended to software development itself.

Why should software projects always take longer than planned? Why is never exactly delivered what was asked? Why can't the exact status of the project be communicated? Why do requirements need to be frozen before the project starts?

We break with these habits. We work in an Agile or Scrum-like way, using super-short iterations with a demonstrable product at the end of each iteration. This allows you to stay on top and adjust the course in every phase of the project, putting you back in control!
