Great Start for Emma in Denmark

While we can’t quite call ourselves a newcomer in the Danish market, with our Customs Management System, EmmaSped CMS, serving many Danish customers already, our focus was definitely reinforced this spring. In May 2021, we had the pleasure of opening our Danish office and welcoming Hans-Jørgen Jessen onboard as our Danish Sales Manager.

Taking stock after about seven months, it is safe to say that the outlook is as bright as the spring day Hans-Jørgen joined Emma Systems. 

The interest has been overwhelming

«I have had the pleasure of travelling around the country meeting numerous existing as well as potential customers the last couple of months, and the feedback has been very positive. Potential customers are finding our CMS interesting, and existing customers are looking to adapt to new modules and features» Hans-Jørgen tells.
