Custom software in Scheemda
Scheemda sits strategically on the A7 between Groningen and Winschoten, with business parks such as Eextahaven and the new Scheemder Hoogte. We build custom software with AI, fast and secure, fitting your process exactly.
Why custom software, and why here
Oldambt is the province's fourth-largest economy with more than 16,000 jobs. Industry, trade and agriculture are big here, and with the Ommelander Hospital and the new plots at Scheemder Hoogte the number of SMEs along the A7 keeps growing steadily.
Many of those companies get stuck on off-the-shelf packages that almost fit, or on loose spreadsheets. With AI we quickly build custom software that does fit, made secure and production-ready by our own developers.

From a request to a quote for a trading or installation firm
Take a wholesaler or installer at Eextahaven making quotes every day. We build an app around it: the AI reads the request, pulls in the right prices and items, and readies a draft quote.
A working prototype fast, then made secure and scalable by our developers. The estimator always takes a final look and adds their own check at the end.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.
Software we built
Argo: from measuring up rooms to a signed quote in one app
Dictate the rooms on site, AI produces the room schedule and the calculation, and the client signs digitally. Without printing and scanning.
Close by, from Groningen
Our office is in Groningen, a good half hour from Scheemda via the A7. We are happy to come and see how you work today, because good software starts with the real process.
All three of us live in Groningen. Short lines, quick to respond, and someone who knows the region.

Frequently asked questions
Do you build on top of something we already have?
Yes. Sometimes we build new, sometimes we finish or secure what you started yourself or with AI.
So you are not vibe coders?
No. AI helps us build fast, but all code is checked by experienced developers we employ ourselves. Secure, scalable and production-ready.
What does custom software cost?
We work with fixed prices, no hourly billing. After a first conversation you know exactly what you get and what it costs.
Meet Empathree
Empathree is an AI agency from Groningen. We help SMEs use AI not as a toy, but as something that genuinely takes work off your plate. Always with a human checking the output.
What we believe
AI is fast, but speed alone delivers nothing. The value sits in the last 30 percent: judgement, nuance, knowing which question to ask. So we never start with a tool. First we map your process, then we look at where most time leaks away, and only then decide what AI handles and what stays human work.
How we work
We work at fixed prices, no billing by the hour. You know where you stand up front. We often start with a workshop to get your team on board, then build a working system step by step, and make bespoke software where it pays off. In our own Empathree Studio we build in our developers' coding style, so everything ships secure and production-ready.
Who you get
Behind Empathree are Marc Cornelius, Maarten Oostland and René Vrieling. Marc and Maarten handle strategy, workshops and implementation, René is the lead developer who makes the software watertight. All three of us live in Groningen, so you deal with local people who build with AI every day. We only teach what we use ourselves.
Why humans in the loop
The world is filling up with automated AI slop. Our answer is simple: the human stays in the loop. With us, and with you. That is how you keep control, quality and trust, even as the technology keeps getting faster.
