Bonanza Group: One Tool That Grew With Them

Bonanza Group is an Antwerp-based expert staffing organisation covering a wide range of domains, from HR and IT to healthcare, finance, legal, and sales. What started as a single company has grown into a group of specialised brands, each serving a distinct talent market. With more than 25 years of experience and a culture built on respect, entrepreneurship, and passion, Bonanza Group prides itself on authentic partnerships and deep domain expertise.

As the group expanded, so did the complexity of its day-to-day operations, including the way consultants prepared and presented candidate CVs.

The Challenge: Manual Work That Didn't Scale

"Every time we needed to send out a candidate profile, someone had to reformat it manually. The more companies we added to the group, the more inconsistency crept in."

Fabrice Alexis, Bonanza Group

Across different brands within the group, the same bottleneck kept appearing:

• Time loss: Reformatting CVs for client submissions was eating into hours that could be spent on placements.
• Brand fragmentation: Each team had slightly different templates and habits, leading to inconsistent output across the group.
• Growth friction: Onboarding new companies into the group meant retraining people on formatting standards from scratch.

Bonanza needed a solution that worked the same way across every brand, without disrupting how their people already worked.

The Breakthrough: Starting With One, Spreading to All

Bonanza Group first adopted Saply in one of its core companies. The results came quickly, and word spread internally. One by one, the other brands within the group rolled out the same workflow, all through the Microsoft Word plugin teams were already using.

"We didn't need to convince anyone. Once people saw what it did in the first company, the others wanted in. It just makes the job easier."

Tom Sterkendries, Bonanza Group

No platform migrations, no new logins, no retraining. Saply embedded directly into Word and the group was up and running across multiple brands without friction.

The Impact: A Consistent Standard Across the Entire Group

Since rolling out Saply group-wide, Bonanza has seen consistent results across all its companies:

• Faster candidate submissions, with CV preparation time cut significantly per profile
• Uniform branding across every company in the group, regardless of who formats the document
• Smooth onboarding of new brands into the workflow, with minimal ramp-up time

For a group that is still growing, having one tool that scales with the organisation, rather than against it, has become a genuine competitive advantage.

"We started with one company. Now the whole group uses it. That says enough."
