Mediafin, the publisher of De Tijd and L’Echo, will be the first in Belgium to sell digital newspapers through so called webapps. The difference with the well known and already existing apps is that Foreach  built the webapps in HTML5, a technology that makes the webapps accessible for all mobile operating systems (iOS, Android, Blackberry, …) because it runs on an internet browser.

RestoBookings.be is an online platform through which people can look for restaurants and make restaurant reservations at the same time using a built-in- module. The purpose of the website is to smoothen the reservation procedure for restaurant owners and for their clients. So it’s no surprise that usability is one of the keywords of this project. 

Arne Vandamme, Managing Partner at Foreach, took part in a debate on the opportunities and challenges the Belgian IT sector is faced with. A report of this debate was published in the most recent edition of Antwerpen Manager magazine. The fact that we were invited to participate demonstrates that Foreach has become a relevant player 5 years after its foundation.

318 restaurants of which 24 carry Michelin stars, thousands of connoisseurs and only nine days … That’s RestoDays in a nutshell. To have all of this go off without a hitch, Foreach developed an online platform powered by an advanced booking module.

Since 1987, the 31st of May is the official ‘World No Tobacco Day’. Foreach definitely supports the initiative, and therefor we would like to congratulate all people that managed to conquer smoking.

At Foreach, we like to give the people we work with a small gift every year, and instead of doing this the first week of the new year, it is becoming somewhat of a tradition to be fashionably late.  So we take a little commercial advantage of Valentine to show our love for you.  And what better way to say we love working with you than with a heart filled with fine Belgian chocolates?

Foreach's alikeforlife concept has been a great success. On Friday 24 December Foreach donated €8.000 to Music For Life.

The simple concept of raising money by liking a Facebook page was extremely well received. While sipping at the fruit juices offered by Foreach's management the employees pulled out all the stops to convince family members, friends, acquaintances, ... to participate. Our initial goal, 1.000 likes for €1.000, was reached after less than a day. The goals we thereafter set ourselves bit the dust one by one. The end result: 80.000 likes in a week's time, for a total amount of €8.000.

During the week the Music For Life event took place, Foreach was omnipresent with its alikeforlife stickers on its cars and its alikeforlife banner. The media and Studio Brussel's hosts were regularly after us. We handed over the money raised to Tomas De Soete on Friday morning at 9:30 at the glass house.

The interactive software application 'Kilootje Minder' (“A Tiny Kilo Less”), commissioned by Brand New Day NV (www.brandnewday.eu) and developed by Foreach bvba (www.foreach.be), is a winner. The Christelijke Mutualiteit's project Kilootje Minder won the Best Nutrition Project Award on Saturday 20th November at the national Nutrition and Health Conference (www.cm.be/nl/100/CM-Fit/Kilootje_minder/index.jsp).

We're looking to extend the Foreach team with two new key players:

• an experienced Java web developer that wants to take on a role as web architect and coach a team of less experienced developers to the next level
• a test engineer with experience in web testing and designing test scenarios, to become part of a focused development team and take responsibility for QA
