Key Takeaways:

  • We decided to get on that mission
    to try to improve the lives of all the people out there on the
    construction sites and in the real estate projects. – Sander

  • We have around 20,000 customers,
    which is a lot. But when you realise that there are around 2.5
    million potential customers just in Europe, then it’s nothing. –
    Sander

  • But what PlanRadar has figured out
    throughout the last few years is to make the customisation level
    that every organisation requires,  to really meet their own
    processes. – Ibrahim

  • We hired last quarter, I think 134
    new people. We plan to hire this quarter, 82 new people. So we’re
    still growing. – Sander

  • PlanRadar is a tool that everybody
    can now download from the App store or the Play store and just
    instantly use it and start adding value to their corporations. –
    Ibrahim

  • The main lesson is if you want to
    build a successful company, it’s all about the people that you
    hire. Because a good team can deliver good results. Simple as that.
    – Ibrahim
