We are ZeeBoer, the makers of Utopis, the product management software specially set up for construction suppliers.
The construction sector thinks in systems, not in individual products. Utopis fits in seamlessly with this. With Utopis you not only map your range, but you make the connection between individual articles and people. Utopis thus forms a link between marketing and construction knowledge.
We are enthusiastic about adding structure to the product range of construction suppliers. By managing from one source, you make fewer mistakes, save costs and sell more.
Our team has a perfect combination of construction, marketing and data knowledge. We take the time to immerse ourselves in our clients and their range.
During an online demo we will show you how to manage product data with Utopis and how your client can achieve a good solution faster with your products.
Systems engineering and specification writing is in our blood. We have been the market leader in specification services since 1984. Our founders Reindert de Boer and Ok van Megchelen were the basis of the STABU system at the time. They realized that the manufacturer is an important knowledge partner in the construction process. This is how the specification service, the successful advice tool, was created, which was transformed into Utopis around the turn of the century: the first PIM especially for the construction industry.
We have a passion for the profession. Do you have that too? Take a look at utopis.net/job-offers and maybe ZeeBoer is your next employer!
“Until 2014 I worked for one of our clients. Here I was responsible for managing product information and website. ZeeBoer provided our specification texts. When we were ready for a new website in 2005-2006, Utopis was introduced. One of my first achievements was entering all product information in Utopis. That was great: all product information in one database.”
Peter has a background in data and information systems: “After hotel school, I started studying business management in Utrecht, where I chose information systems as a study variant. I developed websites at an early age and set up databases for more efficient use of product information.”
Peter was also involved in the development of Utopis PIM on behalf of the client. He developed various ideas together with Reindert de Boer, Maarten Hopman and Jeroen Jongebloed. Ideas that make Utopia software that has been developed for and by the construction manufacturer.
“In 2014 Reindert de Boer asked why I didn’t work at ZeeBoer yet and I made the switch. I have never regretted this. The best thing about ZeeBoer is that we can think along with manufacturers because we employ structural engineers,” says Peter.
When Reindert and Margreet indicated in 2016 that they wanted to stop, I decided to take over the company. Colleague Antoon Siebert has been co-owner since 2018. “I’m still very happy with this as well.”
