FINfuture goes exclusive – 2025 edition

Finfuture 2025 - website

FINfuture is back, but with a twist!

What started as a trade fair for SME managers who wanted to learn more about automation and digitalization solutions, grew in a few years into a large-scale digitalization event with a focus on financial processes. And this for 7 years.

For the 8th year in a row, we are organizing FINfuture for modern decision-makers in finance, but this year we are completely adapting our concept and going for content linked to experience with ingredients such as wining & dining.

The twist

In a unique setting in the heart of Antwerp at Botanique Antwerp, served on a bed of a 3-course menu with matching wines, inspired by Viki Geunes.

We want you, our partners, to answer the questions around Peppol, ERP, reporting, budget & forecast, consolidation, robotization, A.I. and ESG as concretely as possible. The guests can enjoy a delicious lunch, an outspoken company and tangible information from you.

Of course, you will have lunch with them at a table of max. 9 people, with 1 or 2 people from you included.

Case Study

Each partner will have 10 minutes to speak. During this time, we ask you to:

  • Pitch concretely and to the point about your solutions.
  • Do this using a practical example or realization at one of your customers.
  • If possible, invite customers to be present and share their own testimonials during the presentation.

Practicals

From mid-January, we will launch the promotional campaign for FINfuture within this innovative concept. Would you like to become a partner? There is only room for 9 partners, so we ask you to confirm your participation by 10 January 2025 at the latest.

After your confirmation, we ask the following:

  • Providing promotional material: Make sure we receive the correct material so that we can display your logo correctly.
  • Video: Towards the end of January, we will also ask you for a video that can be used during the promotion.

During the event

  • Full visibility: We provide two large screens on which your logo remains visible throughout the event.
  • Case study presentations: You will have the opportunity to present slides during the case study.
  • Goodie bag: At the end of the event, we provide a goodie bag, including an extra surprise item.

The event not only offers inspiration to further digitalize or even transform, but combines this with a unique experience of culinary indulgence. Admit it, an experience that you don’t have every day!

    “I do notice that with Ufinity, because they may be a slightly smaller office than the typical competition, you do get a very personal approach. They effectively look at what the culture is like in that company, what you need and then they look for someone who is competent on the one hand but also someone with whom there can be a click.”

    “They already do an initial screening of the candidates, which ensures that the candidates who reach us, that they can really be potential employees and that also saves me a lot of time and makes the process very efficient.”

    “I also always think that unburdening is an important term. I also have the feeling that you do that for us to the extent possible. We can just call and someone is always available.”

    “It is very easy going, if I may say so. Of course in a professional context, but that we can still deal with each other and that we clearly know what and where from, who can expect what and when.”

    “I am very curious about what will happen with the new venture that you are doing with the internships because I think it is a very interesting concept. Würth Belux also supports quite a bit socially.”

    Innovad | A high-performing AP process thanks to consultant Stijn

    Innovad klantenreferentie

    The challenge

    Innovad needed reinforcement. Their AP process was not yet fully digital because the recognition of invoices still needed to be refined. Furthermore, the reporting of the budget via PowerBi was not yet up to par. They needed support to create all PowerBi reports from A to Z for the various subsidiaries and to improve them where necessary.

    How Ufinity helped

    “Stijn knows PowerBI and can handle it well. He wants to be able to present the same thing consistently for each separate subsidiary and he proactively looks for improvements.”

    “Bart also likes learning by doing and is quite critical of data. Stijn worked independently, he really got into it and even worked on details, he had an eye for quality.”

    “We have seen Stijn grow at Innovad. He has now become a specialist in PowerBi.”

    Success

    Thanks to Stijn’s knowledge of Accounts payable processes, OCR and SAP, he has added great value and the AP process is now much more efficient. There is much better reporting, everything is now consolidated: both for the subsidiaries and for the group.

    Finally, the client wanted a permanent solution instead of a temporary one, for which Ufinity has ensured a permanent recruitment. By transferring Stijn to the new, permanent colleague, continuity at Innovad is now guaranteed, the reports are well maintained and less external support is needed.
