About us > Our story > OUR STORY Bastian van Mierlo Software Consulting is (still) a one-person company and was initially founded by Bastian van Mierlo as a basis for a small part-time job. Bastian is a specialist in Microsoft Dynamics Navision, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, Microsoft Power Platform, Microsoft Fundraising and Engagement as well as an experienced project and team manager in an international context. Through word of mouth andLater targeted customer acquisition, we have grown steadily since our foundation and currently have a team of 8 experienced specialists. We are very familiar with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 landscape and can look after customers from a wide variety of industries. Whether in the B2B sector or in the NGO or NPO area. The career of our founder Bastian van Mierlo has always been closely linked to NGOs, associations and cooperatives. Working with NGOs is very important to us because our service allows us to make a small contribution to the charitable goals of our customers. We are therefore also very happy. that we can offer a software solution tailored to NGOs via the new software from Microsoft: Fundraising and Engagement, which efficiently supports the work of the organizations. Our label Rapsi will definitely raise a question mark in one or the other's head. What does "Rapsi" have to do with software development? The answer ist quite easy:Nothing at all . "Rapsi" was the first pet name of Bastian van Mierlo's newborn baby, which he immediately secured as a domain name. Even if there are now other nicknames, we like to keep it Rapsi as our label and logo. For us, it stands for our passion, responsibility and loyalty, which we incorporate into our work for our customers. Best regards, Bastian van Mierlo

About me I was born and raised near the German-Dutch border where I lived and worked the first 30 years of my live. I learned Navision- programming, consulting and project managent from scratch at a consutling company in Krefeld where I worked for 10 years after having completed my training at the same company successfully. There I gained a profound and extensive experience within different branches and organisational forms with a focus on associations and NGOs. In 2011, I moved to the Bergstraße, a beautiful region beteween Frankfurt and Heidelberg, where I worked as Application Development Manager for CBM International. In 2013, I started my second and nowadays main job as freelance consultant. In 2015, I graduated from the Wilhelm-Bücher-Hochschule with a degree in computer science. I also received a certificate as Project Manager from PMP. In 2017, I took over the job of the IT Manager at the African NGO APOPO, which trains rats in mine detectionI kept in close contact with my former employer CBM International, continuing my support by now working as a freelance consultant for them. In 2019, my family and I moved to Portugal to live near the sea. Thanks to excellent glass fibre connection I am able to continue providing my services to my customers in Germany as usual. In 2020, I extended my freelance work and am looking forward to continue my successful and good cooperation with my existing costumers and to maybe win you as a new costumer. Contact us.
