Byelex Multimedia Products BV has been honoured to see its growth strategy of the past years rewarded with a number 20 ranking on the Deloitte Technology Fast50 list. In spite of a growth of 461.42% over the last five years, Byelex has succeeded in not losing any of its quality or profitability. While it is already apparent that these growth figures will probably not continue at the same astounding rate in the next three years, it is crystal clear that there is still plenty of growth in this company, according to CEO Herman Vissia.

The intelligent virtual Advisor of Herman Vissia shows site visitors the way to a suitable product or vacancy by using a series of pointed questions. Only this year Byelex took its product fully to market. “We deliver a leads-generator that draws in clients with great profiles,” says Vissia. The software runs with Byelex, the client pays a modest entry fee and after that subscription. Byelex has eighteen staff in Minsk and almost the same number in the Netherlands. Minsk is where Vissia found himself when searching for an IT system to predict maintenance costs. “I ended up at a university there. And I hung around.” The last years, revenue has mostly come from bespoke work, but for the future Vissia is placing all bets on his Leads Generator package. “We have upgraded the sales department with some substantial new members, with a good network.” A virtual doctor is being delivered end of this year. “If the first line recommendations draw many visitors, that may be very interesting for the pharmaceutical industry.”
