The corporation started in 2018.
We were, just kicking off a new fiber to the home project, and we were looking
for a tooling that that could help us
with our design process.
And the tooling.
The IQGeo solutions that they checked
all the boxes that we need.
Mainly it was it was easy to use.
Also implementation was very fast
and not with a lot of training of,
of the people.
And that is very important if you want to
scale up a business very, very fast.
So yeah, it's been a long,
a long time to be together with IQGeo
and it's still ongoing.
And then we really like
the cooperation.
The benefits of all the solutions
that we use on IQGeo
Mainly two, one is the automation
of the design process.
So that means if you have to design
a lot of
big area with a lot of units, it's
going very, very fast.
So that was very good.
And also because automated, you don't
have the risk of making manual mistakes.
So your growth is also a lot
better and better quality.
And design is also better quality
in the network. At the end.
And the second
thing, is that
because it's a very flexible platform,
we can do a lot of quick changes
to network topologies
so we can test some things out
different material,
different network topology, and
you can see what is the impact of those.
What is the impact on material.
Was even the impact on planning.
So those are the two big advantages
that that we like about it.
And also our customers.
So, a couple of years ago
we did the,
the design for 20,000, connections
on the IQGeo Platform
for a customer in Belgium.
And, normally it will
it will take a couple of weeks, but now,
because it's automated
in a couple of days, we had a design.
It was very good.
And the funny part was
the customer asked us if we could, add
an extra area of around
1000 home connections to it.
And then they ask
us, yeah, how many weeks do you need
to adapt your design that you have?
And the funny part is that we
we only needed a couple of hours
to adapt the design on that.
And that's why we like to work with
the IQGeo solutions.
It's a very fast, reliable,
tooling that we implement in our designs.
I think two things
we were looking for
in the future with, partnership with IQGeo
or one is, of course, if it could
also be an implementation partner
for the IQGeo solutions
that would be very, very, helpful for us
also if we could support IQGeo
on that, and the other thing
is that we are mainly focused
now on the fiber telecom,
but we are working on
the switch also to energy,
because I think there's a lot of,
a lot of, work
that still needs to be done on energy.
And if you, if you think about the greener
transition that we're making,
and I think
also there's a lot of opportunity
for IQGeo
to support utility companies
to expand their, energy networks.
