Question 1

What kinds of problems do you help with?

Accepted Answer

Tricion helps with manual workflows, disconnected tools, API integrations, browser automation, internal dashboards, and custom web systems. The best fit is a business process that is already happening repeatedly and needs to become more reliable.

Question 2

Do you only build websites?

Accepted Answer

No. Websites are one part of the work. The broader focus is business IT consulting, automation, integrations, and practical systems that make operations easier to run.

Question 3

Can you audit our current workflow before building anything?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A focused audit can map the current process, identify what should be automated, define the smallest useful system, and clarify whether Tricion should build it or support your internal team.

Question 4

What tools and technologies do you use?

Accepted Answer

Most builds use TypeScript, Next.js, React, Node.js, Python, APIs, databases, Playwright browser automation, and AI APIs where they make the workflow materially better.

Question 5

Can you integrate with our existing software?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. If a platform has an API, export, webhook, database, or browser-accessible workflow, it can often be connected or automated. The first step is checking reliability, permissions, and failure modes.

Question 6

Do you build AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when an agent is the right tool for the workflow. Tricion can build AI-assisted routing, summarization, classification, drafting, research, and MCP-style tool workflows with human review where needed.

Question 7

Who is this best for?

Accepted Answer

Founders, operators, and small teams that have real business work happening across spreadsheets, SaaS tools, emails, portals, or manual checks, and want a more dependable system around it.

Question 8

How does an enquiry work?

Accepted Answer

Send the current workflow, tools involved, what breaks, and what you want to happen instead. You will get a direct response on fit, likely approach, and the next sensible step.

Question 9

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Most automation and web system projects land between €2,000 and €10,000, depending on scope, integrations, and risk. Audits and consulting are scoped smaller. Once the outcome is clear, the work is quoted at a fixed project price, so there are no open-ended hourly surprises.

Question 10

Do we need technical people on our side?

Accepted Answer

No. Most engagements start with a plain-language walkthrough of how the work currently happens. Tricion translates that into the technical plan, explains trade-offs without jargon, and hands over documentation your team can actually use. If you do have internal developers, the work fits alongside them.

Question 11

How do you handle data protection and GDPR?

Accepted Answer

Tricion operates from the Netherlands under the GDPR (AVG). Client systems are built with data minimization, role-based access, and EU-compliant processing in mind, and engagements involving personal data include clear agreements on processing and retention. The Tricion website itself uses cookieless analytics and processes contact form data only with your consent.

Question 12

Do you work with internal developers or vendors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Some engagements are direct implementation, while others support an internal team with technical direction, workflow mapping, architecture, or quality review.

Question 13

Do you build software for the music industry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tricion has built label operations platforms, music distribution automation, AI-powered tools for producers, and metadata management systems. The founder, Ivan van der Schuit, is also a music producer (Ya Boi Ivan) with 10M+ streams and 230k monthly Spotify listeners, and the founder & CEO of 99Eyes Entertainment LLC (a sublabel of Black 17 Media) — so the software is built with real, current label experience, not theory.

Question 14

What is Label OS?

Accepted Answer

Label OS is an operations platform built by Tricion for managing record label workflows — from artist ingestion and metadata validation to distribution automation. It replaces the spreadsheets and manual processes that most independent labels still rely on.

Question 15

Can you help a record label modernize its technology?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tricion specializes in building custom middleware and operational systems for record labels and music distributors. This includes distribution automation, metadata management, royalty tracking infrastructure, and integrations with existing platforms.

Question 16

Who is Ivan van der Schuit?

Accepted Answer

Ivan van der Schuit is the founder of Tricion Consultancy and the founder, co-founder & CEO of 99Eyes Entertainment LLC, an independent music label and sublabel of Black 17 Media. He builds automation, internal tooling, and web systems, including ongoing systems work for Black 17 Media — a US record label and publisher in Sony’s The Orchard partner network — and studies Business IT & Management at Hogeschool Rotterdam. He also has a background as a music producer (Ya Boi Ivan), which is where much of the hands-on operations experience comes from.

Question 17

What is 99Eyes Entertainment?

Accepted Answer

99Eyes Entertainment LLC is an independent music label founded by Ivan van der Schuit for viral, internet-native music (phonk, drift phonk, Brazilian funk, hardtekk, and any other TikTok/internet music). It operates as a sublabel of Black 17 Media and hit over 30 million streams in less than 90 days after launching. Its label operations run on TricionForce, the platform built by Tricion — a direct example of Tricion building production software for a live, fast-scaling label.
