NX Digital

Notre société est née d’un constat : les PMEs allouent plus de 50% de leur temps au traitement de tâches administratives telles que la comptabilité, la facturation et le recouvrement.

La digitalisation est aujourd’hui au cœur de la transformation des grandes entreprises mais n’est pas toujours à la portée des plus petites structures. En cause, la complexité et l’investissement financier important nécessaire à cette transition.

Notre objectif est d’apporter une solution simple aux entreprises belges qui souhaitent reconcentrer leur activité sur leur cœur de métier en les soulageant de la lourdeur administrative. Et ce, sans augmenter le coût de leur gestion actuelle.
