CEO & Co-Founder at Shiftbase
I didn’t start Shiftbase to win awards. I started it because I saw too many entrepreneurs drowning in spreadsheets instead of doing what they love. Entering the German market was the ultimate test for us. It’s a market that values precision, demands Gründlichkeit, and doesn’t settle for "good enough." That’s why seeing us officially ranked in the OMR Top 100 hits different. This isn't a trophy from a jury, it’s the collective voice of our users. It means that for German businesses, we are actually moving the needle. We got here because of the people who built the foundation: The First Spark: Five years ago, before we even had a "German team," Jasper Klos joined as our first German sales employee. He took those first difficult steps, evolved through nearly every role in the company, and today leads our mission as Head of Customer Service. The Powerhouse Team: While Jasper set the first steps, our entire German crew built the road. From sales to support to product, you are the face of Shiftbase every single day. This win belongs to every one of you who turned a Dutch vision into a German reality through sheer “Gas is alles”. A 9.7 for support says it all! Our Early Adopters: Lucas Hoppe from Luna - Mittagessen für Schulen & Kitas and De Heidbacker. You gave us a chance when we were "the new kids." Your honest feedback helped shape our product. Success in Germany isn’t given, it’s earned. This ranking proves that our mission to kill admin work is resonating and we’re only just getting started. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/eMfuXsqX #Shiftbase #OMR100 #SaaS #Growth #TeamCulture #WorkforceManagement #Entrepreneurship #GasIsAlles #StrongerTogether
