Challenge

HBP (Het Bedrijven Platform) helps customers discover, compare and contact trusted businesses, manufacturers and service providers. European businesses using it were juggling separate tools for local SEO, EU-hosted business email, reputation tracking, accounting and multilingual support. That meant heavy day-to-day overhead and made it harder to stay aligned with GDPR and cross-border tax rules.

Solution

We designed and built a synchronized platform with two interfaces. The web directory lets consumers find regional businesses, compare visibility ratings and get in touch. The mobile app gives business owners one place to manage listings, customer responses, local ad campaigns and their finances. We also created HBP's full brand guidelines and a clean corporate design system so every screen feels consistent and trustworthy.
