Oscar van Wagtendonk

Freelance Ultimo consultant

I help organizations actually make Ultimo work.

Five years inside Ultimo itself. Freelance ever since. I know the system from the inside and use it every day for clients.

What I do

Four things, usually combined.

Most clients hire me for a mix of these. I translate between IT, admins and the shop floor — and keep Ultimo doing what it was bought for.

01

Implementation

From first sketch to go-live and adoption. Modules, workflows, permissions and data model — tuned to how you actually work.

02

Interfaces & integrations

Connections with AFAS, ERP, IoT and external systems. I built an AFAS–Ultimo interface for a hospital, among others.

03

Fleet & asset advisory

Deep experience with fleet and asset management. I advise on processes, data model and reporting.

04

Application management

Ultimo support on demand or on a fixed number of hours a month. Small fixes often same day. No expensive contracts — just send an email and I'll pick it up.

A quick intro

From Ultimo employee to independent consultant.

Short version: I started at Ultimo in 2015. I've been freelance since 2020.

  1. 2015 — 2020

    Consultant at Ultimo Software Solutions

    Five years inside Ultimo, across three teams: updates, integrations and international implementations. From the international team I worked in the UK, US, Nigeria and Curaçao — including Gatwick Airport. Over those five years I delivered more than a hundred projects.

  2. 2020 — now

    Freelance Ultimo consultant

    Independent since 2020. Currently working with Dutch Air Traffic Control (LVNL), Bluestream Offshore and Vibber, among others. I'm inside Ultimo every working day — it isn't a sideline, it's my craft.

  3. Since 2021

    Founder of App on the Road

    With a small team I build App on the Road — a standalone fleet management system for transport companies, with a back-end for fleet managers and a mobile app for drivers.

Work

A few projects.

UK · Airport

Gatwick — Asset Data Platform

Ultimo as central asset data platform for one of Europe's busiest airports.

Freelancer vs agency

The math is often simpler than you'd think.

For an Ultimo engagement you don't always need a full firm. Sometimes one experienced person is better, faster and noticeably cheaper.

With an agency

  • You talk to a salesperson and an account manager. The consultants who'll actually do the work — you meet them after signing.
  • Proposals of dozens of pages, with phases, work packages and governance structures.
  • Senior in the pitch, junior on your project.
  • Notice periods, minimum commitments and change requests for every tweak.
  • Overhead baked into the hourly rate — office, sales, marketing, targets.
  • Knowledge stays partly inside the firm.

With me

  • You talk to the same person who'll be in your Ultimo environment tomorrow.
  • A clear one- or two-page proposal: scope, timeline, price.
  • Ten years of Ultimo experience — every day, no middleman.
  • You can stop anytime. I only invoice what I actually did.
  • Sharper rate. You pay for my hours, not a whole organization.
  • Everything is documented. Your team can take it over, now or later.

Work together?

Got an Ultimo problem to solve?

A thirty-minute call is usually enough to tell if I can help. If not, you'll know that too — no pressure.
