Giovanni drs. H.B. Kerkhof
CEO at TooIDs, Amsterdam
“Together to get there.”

Innovation is super fun and exciting. When Giovanni once worked as an employee, it was mainly limited to production. As soon as ‘the wheel was invented’, it became a matter of repetition. That was the point where he dropped out. “Innovations sometimes make obsolete what was once considered productive,” according to Giovanni.
Innovations that are one day useless, caused by themselves, are the real deal. That’s the ultimate goal of TooIDs: to be innovative to the point of redundancy. One example: the iPhone has replaced the iPod. Was Steve Jobs afraid of that? Perhaps not, because evolution is more fun, more important and unstoppable.

About TooIDs

Giovanni runs a software development company. There is still so much to improve in the field of IT and this will not stop for the time being. Innovating as decisive as possible and eventually making your own solutions obsolete is fun and exciting, according to Giovanni. So it should be clear that progress is the blueprint for everything he does.

This is how it became booming business

When Giovanni received more and more results, which greatly exceeded his expectations, it quickly became clear that he had gold in his hands. The fact that his solutions were so gratefully accepted was a direct result of executing the first assignment perfectly and exceeding the expectations of clients, employees and stakeholders. The solution must be one that he himself would like to receive; one that make the customer independent. That is an important condition.

Success facilitated

Giving customers a ‘wow experience’, so they will tell others. That is what Giovanni is good at. But not without realizing that, in order to do so, he first has to surpass himself every day. He is happy to give you a golden tip on this:

“To surpass yourself, you need to adopt an exceptional attitude and way of working, one of real commitment.”
If you do this from the beginning, it will constantly energize you and eventually the whole thing will become a habit. This is a very good way to differentiate yourself from competitors.
In short, you have to enjoy what you do. Otherwise, you can’t outdo yourself. As for Giovanni.

yourself if, for example, you have a business address for the Chamber of Commerce. Or a building with a professional appearance and reception desk. Or the knowledge that your mail is processed in a way of your choice. When a lot of things are covered for you then, as an entrepreneur, you can really focus on your core business.

We from Flexado are very happy that we can do this for Giovanni!
