About SEMANU

A focused practice for clarity before you start building.

SEMANU is an independent consultancy specialised in business analysis for software projects. We do not write code. We do not sell software. We advise and guide companies through their software trajectories.

Our independence is the point. We have no preferred vendor, no commission deals, no software to push. The only metric we care about is whether your investment delivers a measurable result.

We work with companies in Belgium, the Netherlands and the DACH region, with a focus on industrial and product driven organisations. Our background combines years of business analysis with deep familiarity with ERP, custom development, configurators and AI.

If you are wondering what an independent software advisory firm actually does and what sets SEMANU apart, that page brings together our complete positioning and our full offering in one place.

The person behind SEMANU

Tom de Vree
Tom de Vree
Founder & Lead Business Analyst

We started SEMANU because we kept seeing software projects get stuck on the same things: exceptions documented nowhere, integrations that were never fully worked out, hidden costs that only surface later and users who never really embrace the new solution.

These are rarely purely technical problems. Most of the time they are business analysis problems that only become visible during implementation. SEMANU exists to bring those risks into focus beforehand, so projects start better prepared.

Our background is in business analysis, both on the shop floor and around the boardroom table. We work with manufacturers, configurator-driven product companies and teams that want to put AI to practical, operational use.

We work under mutual NDAs for every substantive conversation. We are fully independent and work with no preferred vendors.
