Wondering how vPlan became what it is today? It all started in an old attic room...

How it all started...

Back in time

KMK. That's how Kerkdijk, Mensink and Koedijk are also known. Years ago, the three gentlemen all worked at the same software company. Work hard, play hard, was the credo. Yet all three kept the same dream: starting something for themselves.

They decided to join forces and put their heads together. Most Wanted Software B.V. was founded, with vPlan as its product. The new way of planning was ready to be introduced to the world.

"Many companies planned with post-its, spreadsheets, Excel, paper orders or even the old-fashioned t-cards on the wall.... We started thinking about a user-friendly planning tool that would be affordable but also easy to adopt by various companies," says Jeroen.

The attic room where it all started

Michiel continues, "We started very simply in an attic room in Enter in 2017 by building a schedule and integrating it with an ERP system. Since then, we have continuously made improvements and additions to the software. Now we have more than 35 employees and have moved several times. We are now on Hogepad in Rijssen."

"We believe our rapid growth is due to our exceptional company culture, but also to our commitment to providing a great customer experience. Our core values really tell how we are. We are down-to-earth and work with short lines, clear communication and personalised support. From the first customer contact, we look for the best-suited planning solution for the customer," Michel adds.

Let's do more!

It's about pushing boundaries, seeing new opportunities, and working together to achieve extraordinary results. Clients are invited not only to manage their tasks more efficiently, but also to maximise their potential. Why stop at "enough" when you can achieve more?

Big ambitions

The gentlemen are ambitious and have many plans. The goal? Going international and making the best work management software. And keep going on a wintersport holiday together ofcourse! 

 That's what we're all going for!
