May 29, 2026 – At Manifera, we believe that the most successful offshore software development relies on building deep, long-lasting relationships. Recently, our remote software team from Vietnam traveled to the beautiful city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch to visit our valued client, The Rent Company, a partner we have proudly collaborated with for four years. The visit was marked by a warm Dutch welcome, complete with delicious traditional Bossche bollen!
Following the treat, Eltjo Reyenga guided our Vietnamese software engineers through the various departments of The Rent Company. This immersive tour provided our team with invaluable, firsthand insights into the company’s internal processes. By deeply understanding these operational nuances, our joint development team can architect and deliver even more effective features and solutions for the tools we are actively building together.
Empowering Digital Education with The Rent Company
The Rent Company is a pioneer in EdTech, serving as the ultimate partner for providing laptops in the classroom. Their mission is inspiring: giving every pupil and student access to digital education in an accessible and affordable way. To ensure everything is arranged perfectly from the start, they developed the comprehensive Easy4u subscription. With service, software, chargers, and damage/theft coverage always included, schools, parents, and students never have to worry about their digital infrastructure.

Navigating the Future of AI and Software Development
Beyond the operational tour, we engaged in profound technical discussions about optimizing processes and exploring the future of technology. A major focal point was the use of Artificial Intelligence through Spec-Driven Development. We debated the strategic merits of hosting AI models locally to ensure data security and envisioned what the landscape of custom software development will look like by 2029.
Of course, a cross-cultural partnership is never complete without sharing a meal. During a pleasant lunch, we exchanged stories over typical Vietnamese food like Pho, alongside classic Dutch pancakes and croquettes. This fusion of Dutch and Vietnamese cultures is the exact foundation upon which Manifera operates.
