Innovation that delivers
The Gumption group drives applied innovation. "We help shape your future with bold strategies that enhance customer experience," says Bart. Our proven technological solutions deliver real business value. With a pragmatic, results-driven approach, we skip the guesswork—focusing on impact, not experimentation.
Consulting with assets
"We combine consulting with ready-to-use solutions and IP for fast, tangible business value. This asset-driven approach sets us apart from firms that simply bill hours."
Examples?"SAP partner TheValueChain launched a dedicated products team in 2024," says Bart. This team delivers scalable, cost-effective solutions via subscription—without traditional project complexity. Offerings include SAP connectors, product extensions, and automation with software robots, helping companies stand out and achieve operational excellence.
"Another consulting-with-assets example is HuRis, a subsidiary of TheValueChain. A market leader in SAP SuccessFactors,HuRis dominated the Netherlands in 2024 and excels in Scandinavia. After Belgium, it's now entering the UK, leveraging its SuccessFactors extensions to automate Human Experience Management processes."
"In 2024, data specialist Bmatix expanded its Beyond solutions with BI, budgeting, and KPI reporting templates. CloudSisters launched its own cloud management platform, while SQAI Suite, a Brightest spin-off, introduced a groundbreaking AI-powered test automation solution."

Co-creation: the engine of innovation
Bart stresses that every group company plays a vital role in applied innovation. "From infrastructure to digital growth, each contributes uniquely," he says. Rank 1 excels in infrastructure, Studio Emma in e-commerce and product information, and valueXstream in supply chain architecture. AdaptX bridges strategy and execution, Plugnotes digitizes workflows without code, Purple Panda drives digital growth, and Geosparc specializes in geospatial software. For all, co-creation—internally and with clients—is the key to innovation."
