Our background:

Headquartered in Belgium, Fordaq has been in the business of building software products for the wood industry – and not only – for over 20 years. Our software development quarters are in Bucharest, very close to Piata Victoriei. Still, we have offices worldwide, some examples being Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, Poland, Vietnam, and China.

Companies in the industry know us as the biggest B2B marketplace, having hundreds of thousands of registered companies worldwide. Over the last five years, we have been a leading participant in digitizing the industry, having built products that automatize processes that not so long ago were done manually. We expanded to AI products – web-based, Android, and hardware products with industrial cameras and high-performance image processing in the last two years.

We have built a core team that includes top researchers in AI, highly skilled & very experienced developers and DevOps and an overall attitude oriented towards building high-quality products.

We’re developing software & hardware products that are disruptive and very competitive, solving real problems for real customers. Our clients need precise and accurate solutions, and we take pride in being able to offer them the best there is.
