On Wednesday, March 11, 2026, we will host our customer event at our office in the iconic Van Nelle Factory. A day completely dedicated to innovation, collaboration, and innovative solutions. Together with customers and partners, we look ahead, share experiences, and explore how organizations can make a difference today and tomorrow.

2025 is over—a year in which product development at Dime.Scheduler seemed quieter than we are used to. But in this case, calm does not mean stagnation. On the contrary, behind the scenes, a solid foundation for the future has been hard at work.

In close consultation with partners and customers, Dime has made great strides over the past year. Feedback from the community led to a more ambitious design than initially planned, resulting in longer development time, but above all, promising innovations that will see the light of day in 2026.

What can you expect this year? We outline the most important developments.

In February 2026, VSK+E will take place at the Jaarbeurs Utrecht. This fair provides insight, clarity, and guidance on all significant developments. It is the trade fair where you can fully catch up on the world of installation in a single visit. This year, everything revolves around the theme: “Put yourself ahead.” In the rapidly changing world of installation, it is essential to stay ahead in knowledge, processes, and digitalization. New technologies, innovative software, and AI make the difference for organizations that want to work in a future-proof way.

The new year is just around the corner. For many companies, this is the ideal time to look ahead, set ambitious goals, and determine how to achieve even greater success in the year to come. You might recognize this: the list of resolutions is longer than ever, but how do you ensure they are actually achieved? At Bluace, we help companies make their processes smarter, faster, and more efficient. With the right digital solutions, good intentions can be realized not just on paper but also in practice.

BIM transforms project estimation by enabling faster, more efficient, and error-reduced workflows. In construction, accuracy and speed are essential throughout project execution, and notably during estimation. BIM addresses these requirements by using digital models that enhance transparency and precision, promoting project success. Below, we explain how BIM improves the estimation process, outlining key benefits in clear sections.

Many organizations let each department use separate tools, such as HubSpot for Marketing, Pipedrive for Sales, and Asana for projects. This seems efficient, but fragmented systems create company-level challenges. Collaboration suffers, which is why more organizations opt for an integrated platform.

As of January 1, 2026, a new obligation will apply in Belgium for many companies: all invoices exchanged between VAT-liable businesses (B2B) must be transmitted electronically (structured) via the Peppol network. Those who are not ready in time risk fines of up to €5,000. However, those who adapt to change effectively can actually benefit from greater efficiency, fewer errors, and a more professional administration.

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, user authorizations are managed through permission sets. These allow you to determine who has access to which tables, pages, and reports. Within these sets, you can use include and exclude permissions, each of which plays a different role in access management.

We often see separate systems, dispersed customer data, and a lack of overview in the installation, service, and maintenance industry. This makes it very time-consuming to find information, processes do not align well, and it becomes difficult to improve customer interaction and personally serve customers. Nowadays, customers expect more and more: immediate responses, personal communication, and a smooth experience at every contact point. Without the right systems and processes, it is nearly impossible to improve customer interaction in a way that meets these rising expectations.

The installation industry is doing well, but that success brings new challenges. Think of staff shortages, increasing work pressure, and ever-growing customer expectations. The consequence? Efficiency is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Digitizing an installation company plays a key role in this. However, we at Bluace notice that many installation companies struggle with the question: where do you start? And especially: what does it yield?

Recently, NU.nl reported that two out of three entrepreneurs in the Netherlands are experiencing a staff shortage, with nearly 80% of construction companies heavily affected. Large organizations experience this issue the most (72%), followed by medium-sized (67%) and small companies (61%). In practice, this shortage leads to loss of productivity, delays, and overburdened work environments.
