About us
ctrl integrations is a Dutch integration agency that connects systems.
Our ctrl integration platform is based on Lobster technology. As an official Lobster partner in the Benelux, we support companies in the Netherlands and Belgium that want to automate their processes but do not wish to build their own integration team.
We build, host and monitor integrations. Fully, quickly, transparently and without hassle. No lengthy processes, no hidden costs. Just: connections that work.
Mission
Making integrations accessible for every company that wants to automate its processes. Without having to buy expensive software or hire specialists. Transparent pricing, quick implementations and complete relief. That is what we stand for. Every company deserves systems that communicate with each other, without hassle.
Vision
A world where integrations are no longer a luxury for large companies with IT departments, but a standard solution for everyone. Where connections are built in days, not months. Where you pay for what you use, not for licenses you don't need. And where honesty and craftsmanship are the norm, not the exception.
Who we are
We are seven in total. Three owners with backgrounds in business economics, marketing and IT. Plus three integration specialists who carry out integrations daily. That mix is our strength. Additionally, we are supported by a sales specialist. We understand the technology, but also the business.
As an official Lobster partner, we have deep expertise in this integration platform. Our lead consultant has worked for 4.5 years at Lobster itself and uses that knowledge in every project.
Young, energetic and a bit rebellious. But always professional. We build cool integrations, solve complex problems and ensure that systems communicate that actually don't want to talk to each other.
We don't bill for hours we don't work. We don't charge for five days if the work is done in two days. Value for money, no hassle, just honest.
Our team has years of experience in production, wholesale, retail, logistics and transport. We know EDI integrations, legacy systems and modern cloud applications. From 20-year-old ERP software to the latest SaaS platforms – we support it all.
How we work
Good integrations should not be a luxury. Yet, the common platforms are expensive, complex, and require a serious investment before you can even have one connection running. We started from the belief that it can be smarter.
That's why we now offer two solutions: fully managed integrations on our platform (Integration as a Service) and expert consultancy for companies that already have a Lobster environment but want support.
Direct and fast
We say what we mean. No corporate jargon, no vague promises. If something takes three days, we say three days. If something isn't possible, we explain why.
We build a standard integration in 1 to 3 days. More complex integrations in a week. From intake to live: 2 to 4 weeks. No meeting marathons, no lengthy analyses. You tell us what you want to integrate, we take care of it.
Fully taken care of
We build, host and monitor. 24/7. If there is an outage, you often won't even notice. Because we have already solved it long ago. Updates, patches, adjustments? Sorted.
You don't need to employ IT specialists. We are your integration department. Proactive alerting, quick recovery, and support that is accessible, understandable, and helpful.
Transparent and honest
A fixed amount per month. No credits, limits, or hidden costs. Unlimited transactions. What you pay is known in advance. No surprises.
We do not bill for hours we do not work. We do not promise things that cannot be done. If something takes longer, we will inform you. If we make a mistake, we will admit it. Honesty is not a marketing term for us – it is how we operate.

Our reach
The Netherlands and Belgium, with international connections worldwide.
Simplicity is our strategy.
We do not believe in complexity for the sake of complexity. Integrations simply need to work. Without hassle.
Personality is our strength.
We are not a corporate machine. We are people who are good at what they do and are honest about what they can do.
Integrations. Without hassle.
That is not just a slogan. That is how we work, every day, for every client.
Our values
We do not log hours we do not work. We do not promise things that cannot be done. If something takes longer, we report it. If we make a mistake, we admit it.
We are good at what we do. Not because we are the most expensive, but because we have been doing this for years. With the most Lobster knowledge in the Benelux, we solve problems that other parties cannot or do not want to solve.
Integrations should not only be available for large companies with IT departments. Every company that wants to automate its processes should be able to do so. Without huge investments.
We work with you, not just for you. We think along with your IT landscape, advise on optimisations and alert you if we see that something can be improved.
