Sports is Business!
At KVO “doing business” can be taken literally. Since its promotion back to first league in 2013-2014, KVO has been focussing heavily on turning their club into a business hub for the many local and (inter)national entrepreneurs. KVO strives to achieve a perfect symbiosis between Sports and Business.
We sincerely hope that our software has helped contributing to that success and look forward to the next 3 years of cooperation!

Versluys Arena
In partnership with the construction company, Versluys, KVO started early 2016 with the renovation of its stadium, a very ambitious project. Within less than 6 months the “Versluys Arena” had to be ready for the new season. The stadium became a landmark for the city of Oostend.
As “doing business” is of crucial importance to KVO, the new stadium came with a totally new concept for business partners. Increased capacity, new hospitality formula’s, a totally new VIP experience.
Increased VIP capacity inevitably requires more sales efforts, not only to sign up new partners, but also to make sure all partners fully enjoy the totally renewed VIP experience. If your workload increases, but the team remains the same, only one option remains: increase your efficiency. It is no coincidence that KVO started implementing iXpole in the months leading up to the inauguration of the new stadium.
Upgrade to iXpole
Instead of relying on old software, spreadsheets and manually maintained lists, KVO switched to iXpole. Sales leads, contracts, the sponsoring product catalogue, hospitality formula’s, ticketing, invoice generation and all other information related to business partners are now managed centrally in iXpole. The iXpole cloud service manages the business heart for the club.
