Your independent software selection advisor

Semanu is an independent software advisory firm for SMEs and scale-ups in Belgium and the Netherlands.

We combine business analysis and hands-on project management to help CEOs, COOs, IT managers and Operations teams choose and deliver the right software (ERP, CRM, CPQ, PIM, custom software) — remote or
on-site.

From software selection and vendor evaluation to project rescue — end to end.

Do you win time or buy delay?

Rushing into development feels fast at the early stage, until unclear scope and hidden constraints turn progress into rework. The result is usually the same: extra meetings, extra cost, and a launch that keeps moving further away.

We help you make the right decisions upfront.

Q&A

How long does a project take?

Depending on complexity, this can range from a few days to several months. In business analysis, we typically start with workshops and stakeholder input to define the problem, capture requirements and align on priorities. Once that’s clear, project management focuses on planning and milestones, so even larger projects stay predictable and controlled.

What industries do you serve?

We work across a range of industries, especially where clear requirements and structured delivery really matter. Our focus is less on a single sector and more on understanding your business processes, aligning stakeholders, and guiding projects to a successful outcome.

Do you offer remote consulting?

Yes, remote consulting is absolutely possible. We work both remotely and on-site, depending on what suits your team best. Many clients prefer remote sessions for speed and flexibility, while others combine remote work with on-site workshops at key moments .

When to call us?

Call us when you’re selecting new software (ERP/CRM/CPQ/PIM) and want an independent structured approach. We help when requirements are unclear, vendor proposals are hard to judge, a project is slipping on time/budget/quality or you need a proof of concept before committing to a full implementation.

How do you estimate cost and timeline?

We estimate cost and timeline in three steps: first we run a short discovery to clarify goals. Then we break the work into deliverables and size each part based on complexity and effort. Finally, we share a clear plan with assumptions and risks.

How do we get started?

We usually start with a short discovery call to understand your goals, context, and constraints. From there, we’ll propose a clear next step. This is often a focused business analysis workshop to define scope, priorities, and success criteria.
