Category Management Assistant

Kadonation was founded in 2016 and is today one of the fastest growing companies in Belgium.

Our scale-up is a dynamic player in the employee and corporate gifts market. Making recog­ni­tion easy, that’s our motto. And also the reason we built Kadonation Select: an intuitive platform that allows more than 750 companies to set up a well-thought-out recog­ni­tion programme in no time. Our software supports HR and pro­cure­ment teams by taking away the hassle and admin­is­tra­tive burden of employee gift-giving.
