About Niklu

Before Niklu, Jens Téblick founded InterHost Solutions, a web hosting company: not building other companies' websites himself, but keeping the servers and infrastructure those websites and applications depended on running. That grew into Lemon Live and was sold to a third party in september 2020.

Out of that same group he also founded Lemon Companies, building web applications and developing software. He ran the engineering side: building software and applications, and keeping the infrastructure underneath in production, updated and running, so customers never noticed. He sold that company too; it operates today under new ownership.

After that he co-founded Veton, a manufacturer of EV charging stations. He is managing partner there today.

At Veton he still does the technical development of the charger. He designs the mechanical build in SolidWorks, and decides which electrical components go inside and how they're wired. He doesn't design printed circuit boards from scratch.

He writes the firmware on the device himself, on existing platforms. That also covers the updates that go out remotely to chargers in the field.

Behind that sits the cloud platform, the mobile app (Android and iOS, published all the way to the App Store and Play Store) users control their charger with, and the link to the ERP system. Systems that run in production today, not in a test environment.

Alongside that technical line, he also runs the operational side of the business at Veton. He orders parts from suppliers and plans when a component needs to arrive for production. He also keeps an eye on stock: what's still on the shelf, and what's about to run out. Finance and customer follow-up are part of that too, from an overdue invoice to a customer waiting on a delivery.

Reporting is part of that role, mostly what happens after. He has had to decide himself whether an order could still wait, and whether a price needed adjusting based on what such a report showed. The question is what happens next with what the report shows.

That experience shapes how a Niklu engagement looks at reporting. The goal is an answer to the question that matters today. At Niklu, the chain therefore reaches past the ERP system, to the decision that follows it.

He is the inventor of Belgian patent BE 1032335 (application BE2024/5020), granted on 18 augustus 2025 and registered with the FOD Economie, for "Component voor een elektrische laadinrichting voor elektrische voertuigen" — held by Veton, not in his own name.

Underneath that technical line runs another one: seventeen years of entrepreneurship. Founding InterHost Solutions and growing it into Lemon Live, selling that company in september 2020, and later co-founding a second one in Veton — that's not just building technology, it's running a company: staff, invoices, cashflow, decisions that go beyond code.

That's a different lens than a purely technical one. Anyone who has run a company themselves judges a process on what it costs and delivers first, and only then on what's technically possible. A Niklu engagement starts there too, not from a technology looking for a problem — which is exactly where consultants who walk in with a technology most often get it wrong.

Years of keeping other companies' infrastructure running: first as a hosting company, later the mechanical design and the firmware on devices in the field, a cloud platform, an app and an ERP link at Veton. That's a different skill from building a prototype that only has to work once, in a demo. Knowing that also means knowing how to build something that isn't tied to you.

That's why Niklu software runs, where possible, on systems you already own, and where it needs a place of its own, in a portable container on a server you pay for and control yourself — never on an expensive cloud provider you can't leave, and never dependent on Niklu. Not advice that stays on paper, but something that's already running at handover, and stays yours after that.
