Websites and automation. Less work for your team.
We build websites and help Belgian businesses spend less time on admin. That could mean a clearer site, quotes prepared for you, or software that shares customer details. Based in Ghent. Built around how you work.
Does this sound familiar?
Your website no longer shows what your business does.
Your team copies the same customer details into several programs.
Preparing quotes and answering routine emails takes up much of the day.
We look at how the work gets done, then work out what would help.
What we can build for you
Websites and online shops
A clear website helps people understand what you do and take the next step. We design and build business websites, online shops and places where customers can log in to view their information.

We build tools that prepare quotes, read invoices and draft replies to routine emails. Where AI helps, we use it, with checks for the parts your team needs to review.

An enquiry comes through your website. The details go into your customer records. Your team can follow up without copying everything across. We build connections like this between the tools you use.

Fictional example
Prepare the quote. Skip the retyping.
Imagine a wholesaler receiving a quote request by email. The customer has attached a PDF with products and quantities.
By hand
- 1Someone reads the PDF and finds the customer's details.
- 2They copy the products and quantities into the quoting software.
- 3They send the quote and set a reminder to follow up.
With automation
- 1Software reads the PDF and prepares a draft quote.
- 2A team member checks the details, makes any changes and approves it.
- 3The approved quote is sent and a follow-up reminder is set.
Your team still checks the quote. There is less to type. What can be automated depends on your documents and software.
Start with what you need
Need a website? Tell us what it should help your customers do. Looking to reduce admin? We can start by reviewing the work or tackle a problem you already know about.
Find out where to start
With an Efficiency Scan, we spend half a day with your team. You get a written report showing what could change, what to tackle first and an estimate of the time and cost. The report is yours to keep.
Fix one problem
With an Automation Sprint, we agree what to build, the price and the timing before we start. Then we build it, test it with examples from your business and show your team how to use it.
Get help each month
If you want ongoing help, we agree a set number of hours each month for maintenance and further work. Together, we choose what needs attention next. This is optional.
Our automation work focuses on businesses with around 10 to 100 people. It is most useful when the same tasks come back every day: entering orders, preparing quotes or processing invoices.
Based in Ghent. A direct line to your builder.
At BOUT LAST WEEK, you speak with the person building your website or automation. We bring more than ten years of web development experience to work for businesses in Belgium.
Before handover, we explain how it works, what to do if something goes wrong and what ongoing support includes.
What would you like to change?
A new website? Less time spent on admin? Tell us what you need in a few sentences. You do not need to know how to build it.
The person who would build it will read your message and reply. We may ask a few questions or suggest a call to work out the next step.
