SocialNow OS

One Operation & Management system.

Discover how people, your operations and AI come together.

Proven, branded, fully automated!

Everyone can automate a business. No one can automate people who care.

Software is a tool. We are SocialNow!

Why I started

I grew up in a family of makers. My father is an artist who worked from early morning until late at night. My mother is a teacher and therapist.

What they taught me: you can become anything you want, as long as you work hard for it.

For over 5 years, we have connected the biggest brands with the right creatives and consultants. AI makes this scalable, worldwide.

Our goal: changing Big Tech and Big Corp, and creating a free, fair and social economy.

Marinus BergsmaFounder & CEO

What is a partner?

We connect your business with independent partners who understand what you and your customers need. Together, we create customer-friendly products and bring your website, CRM, content and ads into one easy-to-use system. You can start for free with our Operation & Management system or choose a custom-built system.

You start for free. If you choose a tailored solution, SocialNow B.V. coordinates and pays the right partners. You have one point of contact; we ensure quality.

Start free. Build further together.

Website onboarding

FREE WEBSITE.

Two free routes to your new website. Build it yourself in Odoo, or let our experts make a demo for you.

Route 1 · build it yourself

Build it yourself in Odoo, for free.

With the One App Free plan you build your site for free in the Odoo Website app: drag, type, publish.

One app is free, with unlimited users. Your site first lives at an address like yourcompany.odoo.com.
You connect your own domain with a CNAME record, or you register a domain with Odoo that is free for the first year.
Note: a second app, such as accounting, means a paid Odoo subscription.
The connection with the SocialNow/OS runs through Odoo's external API. On Odoo Online, that is only included in the Custom plan.

Start at odoo.com Odoo plans

Route 2 · we build it

Free demo via SocialNow.

Our experts build a free demo of your new website, based on your answers, texts and images. A team of designers and AI developers, working with the best AI models.

The story behind SocialNow

My story in one minute

My why

I want to take everything off entrepreneurs’ hands with the latest technology, without losing the personal touch.

Explore the work behind my story

2019

Graduated as a graphic designer.

Internship and first contract at Amsterdam Light Festival.

2019 to 2020

Media manager at Day & Nite.

My career started at events agency Day & Nite: social content, campaigns and print.

2020

Covid stopped the events.

So I started on my own, with projects for AZ and Supperclub, among others.

November 2021

SocialNow.

SocialNow celebrates its fifth anniversary in November 2026. What started as my own business grew into a team of specialists.

The turning point

When AI learned to make images, I rewrote my plan.

I went deep into AI and development. The personal touch stayed at the core.

VASTIQ

With Steef Komen we set up VASTIQ.

A valuation platform for real estate, from data to brand. Steef is my accountant, Odoo expert and data scientist. SocialNow OS grew out of VASTIQ.

Steef Komen

The OS

All your business data in one system.

What we built for VASTIQ became SocialNow OS: branding, ads and Odoo as the final key.
