Codana

A good fit

Codana fits organizations that need a custom web application, client portal, internal tool or mobile app rather than an off-the-shelf package. The studio states that its focus is education and government, and its published cases include a tourism data platform for the City of Bruges alongside work for telecom, hospitality, HR, transport and e-commerce clients. Buyers that want to test an idea before committing to a build can start with a short audit or ideation workshop, which Codana presents as a first step toward a proof of concept and a longer development track.

Services

Codana builds progressive web apps, back-end management applications, middleware, client portals, community platforms, APIs and workflow automations on open-source frameworks including Laravel, Symfony, React and Vue, and describes itself as an official Laravel partner. Mobile work uses a cross-platform approach, including React Native. The studio also lists data dashboards and migrations, software architecture and cloud set-up, AI and smart automation, UI design for web apps, and support and aftercare after launch. Its short audits cover technical quality, performance, UX accessibility and readiness for the European Accessibility Act.

Representative work

For the City of Bruges, Codana rebuilt the Tourism Data Management System that manages events, accommodation and tourism partners for VisitBruges, using Laravel Nova and Elasticsearch, integrating the UiTdatabank and Tourism Flanders APIs and exposing a public API with version history and a publication flow. For Telenet and BASE it built an in-store sales web app on Symfony and JavaScript that configures subscriptions for consumer and business customers and generates PDF quotes. For Tablebooker it rebuilt the restaurant reservation manager as a React Native app with real-time updates.

Notes

Codana lists offices in Kontich, which it presents as its Antwerp location and registered office, in Leuven and in Ghent, plus an office in Lisbon, and states that it works from its own offices or on site with clients. The site is published in Dutch and English. Codana announced a merger with Lunar under the Codana name, describing a team of more than 30 experts within The Digitals group; it does not publish a founding year. The contact page carries a project inquiry form and generic company contact channels, so it is the recorded buyer destination. Goodfit stores company-level information only; correction, removal and objection handling remains centralized through goodfit.eu and mail.goodfit.eu.
