Proxem

OUR SERVICES

Engineering the digitallayer your businessdeserves.

Three disciplines, one standard of precision. Whether you need a corporate platform, a bespoke business tool, or a complete digital strategy, every Proxem engagement begins with a thorough architectural assessment.

▌

01

WEB ENGINEERING

Bespoke Web Engineering.

Your digital presence, engineered to the highest specification.

Most organisations reach a point where their website no longer reflects who they are or what they're capable of. Generic templates, slow load times, and unmaintainable code become a liability — both operationally and reputationally.

Proxem builds from a clean architectural brief. Every component is purpose-built, performance-tuned, and designed to serve your organisation for years, not until the next redesign cycle.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Performance-first front-end architecture (Next.js, TypeScript)
  • Custom component libraries built to your design system
  • Multi-language and multi-market support
  • Accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA minimum
  • GDPR-compliant analytics and data collection
  • Ongoing technical maintenance agreements available
02

PLATFORM ENGINEERING

Platform Engineering.

Custom software for the way your business actually operates.

Off-the-shelf software is built for the average business. Your business is not average. When your operations require a logistics dashboard that integrates with your proprietary data, a client portal with specific compliance requirements, or a SaaS product that needs to scale from fifty users to fifty thousand — the answer isn't a template. It's a platform built to specification.

Proxem engineers custom SaaS products, internal business tools, and operational portals from a robust architectural foundation. We think in systems, not screens.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Technical discovery and system architecture mapping
  • Full-stack development (Next.js front-end, scalable API layer)
  • Database architecture and data modelling (PostgreSQL / Supabase)
  • Third-party integrations (ERP, CRM, logistics APIs, payment gateways)
  • Admin interfaces and content management
  • Staged rollout and load-testing strategy
  • Handoff documentation and technical knowledge transfer

DIGITAL STRATEGY & UI/UX

Digital Strategy & UI/UX.

Architecture before construction. Always.

Every failed digital project has the same root cause: building before thinking. Proxem's strategy and UI/UX practice exists to eliminate this. We map your users' journeys, interrogate your business logic, define the information architecture, and design the experience before a single line of code is commissioned.

The deliverables from a Proxem strategy engagement become the foundation for every subsequent decision. If you're building with us, this is where we start. If you're building elsewhere, this gives your development team everything they need to execute without ambiguity.

Begin with a Strategy Engagement

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Stakeholder discovery workshops
  • User research and persona definition
  • Information architecture and sitemap
  • User journey mapping
  • Wireframes (low and high fidelity)
  • Interactive prototypes for stakeholder sign-off
  • Design system definition (typography, colour, component library)
  • Developer handoff specification

HOW WE WORK

Rigorous process.
No surprises.

1

Discovery Briefing

A focused conversation with the decision-makers. We assess your requirements, your constraints, and your definition of success. This is where we earn the right to propose.

2

Architectural Assessment

We map what needs to be built, how it connects, and where the risks are. You receive a clear technical brief before any agreement is signed.

3

Staged Delivery

We build in structured phases with defined deliverables at each stage. You see progress. You make decisions. Nothing disappears into a black box.

4

Handoff & Continuity

Every Proxem project ends with a complete technical handoff: documentation, knowledge transfer, and the option for an ongoing maintenance relationship.

COMMON QUESTIONS

About our services.

Last updated · April 2026

Web engineering focuses on your public-facing digital presence: corporate websites, content platforms, and marketing properties built for performance and brand representation. Platform engineering builds the internal tools, SaaS products, and operational systems your business runs on. Many organisations need both, and we often begin with a strategy engagement to determine the right sequence.

A web engineering project typically runs 8 to 16 weeks depending on complexity. Platform engineering engagements range from 12 to 24 weeks. A digital strategy engagement runs 4 to 8 weeks and often precedes a build. Every project begins with a discovery briefing and an architectural assessment before timelines are committed.

Yes. Proxem is based in Antwerp and serves mid-market and enterprise organisations across Europe. Our infrastructure is EU-hosted, our processes are GDPR-compliant by design, and we conduct all work in English and Dutch.

Our standard stack is Next.js with TypeScript on the front end, PostgreSQL or Supabase on the back end, and Vercel for hosting. We use Tailwind CSS for styling, build to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, and implement GDPR-compliant analytics. The specific architecture is always determined by the project requirements, not by preference.

Not sure which service
fits your situation?

That's precisely what a Discovery Briefing is for. One conversation is usually enough to know whether we're the right partner, and which discipline applies.
