Custom Software
When off-the-shelf software stops being enough: we build custom software that does exactly what your business needs. In the browser, on the desktop and on the phone, connected to the systems you already run and ready for AI from day one.
Sooner or later, off-the-shelf software stops matching the way your business actually works. Whatever doesn’t fit ends up in a spreadsheet next to it, and that spreadsheet soon carries more than it should. That is where we come in: applications that bring logic, data and real users together, and that run where the work happens. Your customers get things done in a portal, right in the browser. Your field team carries its orders in an app, on iPhone and Android alike. And the warehouse runs a desktop application for Windows or macOS, with the scanner and label printer plugged straight in. Our team builds them in Germany, for clients across the country, throughout Europe and on other continents.
Customer portals, booking systems, configurators, internal tools. In the browser, as an app or as a desktop application, depending on where your people use them. Always built to feel like good software: fast, clear, no manual required.
ERP, CRM, inventory, shop, accounting: we connect systems that have been running side by side. Data flows automatically instead of via copy & paste. Even when one of them offers no modern interface at all.
An idea becomes something people can actually try: we build a lean first version (MVP) you can put in front of real users. What they tell you decides what gets built next, not the loudest opinion in the room.
Intelligent search, automated text processing, assistant features: we design for AI from the start, as an architecture decision rather than a bolt-on. Your software grows with what becomes technically possible.
Tools are a means to an end. We pick them for your problem, not for the hype cycle. In the browser: TypeScript, React and Next.js. Flutter and Dart when the same app has to work on iPhone and Android: built once, shipped to both stores. Behind that, Node.js, Python or PHP, depending on what your software has to talk to. A shop. Your ERP. Or a machine on the shop floor that ships with no interface at all. And because we run the servers ourselves, our job doesn’t end when we hand over the code.
Custom software rarely pays off for everything. It almost always pays off for the one place where your business works differently from the rest of your industry. Three such places.
Building supply & industry
We build a lean capture screen for the shop-floor PC or a tablet: big fields, few taps, usable with gloves on. The entry lands straight in the ERP, and mistakes surface immediately instead of the next morning. In one case a CNC controller from 1995 sat at the other end. We connected it anyway.
Wholesale & distribution
We define which system tells the truth about which field, then build the transfer between them: automatic, logged, with a view that shows discrepancies rather than hiding them. After that your team maintains one place instead of three, and nobody has to ask which address is the current one.
Services & consulting
We turn that spreadsheet into a real application: permissions, history, several people working at once, and an interface a new colleague can follow. The calculation logic stays yours, since it is proven. It simply stops living in 400 formulas that break the moment somebody sorts a column. Often that is the point where an internal tool turns into a product.
Not every problem calls for custom software, and not every one bends to a standard product. Here is how we settle it in a first conversation, usually inside half an hour.
A product exists that covers 90 percent of the job. Then buying is almost always the commercially sound answer.
The frame is there, but the decisive ten percent is missing. We build it on: as a plugin, module or interface.
Your process is the reason customers buy from you. Then it belongs in software you own.
We earn most from route three and still propose it only when it holds up. More often we point to route two. The missing ten percent is usually the ten percent that makes your business yours. The rest can happily come off the shelf.
Straight answer
What we are right for: applications with logic, data and real users. Tools that take work off your team every single day. And integrations other people back away from. We start where others tend to stop.
We listen, ask questions and watch the process in daily use, not just on paper.
A clickable prototype shows where things are heading, well before serious budget starts flowing.
Clear budgets per stage. After each one you see working software, not a status report.
We run, maintain and extend, on our own infrastructure if you want.
Honest answer: more than a site builder, less than a bad purchase. We work in stages with a clear budget for each one, and at the end of every stage you see working software.
You receive comprehensive usage rights to the solution we build for you. The details are set out transparently in the contract.
Yes. We read the existing code, get it back on safe ground and keep building on it, even when the original developers are long gone.
Depending on scope, we deliver a clickable prototype or an MVP within a few weeks.
You take everything with you: source code, documentation, credentials, build instructions. We work with mainstream technology and no private dialect, so another team can pick it up without starting over. A client who stays because leaving is hard is not a happy client.
We do, if you want, under a maintenance agreement with a committed response time. Your own IT can equally take it on. That is what the tests, code reviews and documentation are for. What we don’t do is hand over an application and leave you with it.
Mostly TypeScript and Node.js for interfaces and services, Python for automation, data processing and AI, PHP for anything around Shopware and long-lived systems, and Dart with Flutter for apps that have to run on iPhone and Android. The language follows the task and whatever already runs at your place, not our personal taste.
Usually yes. We have connected controllers older than some of our developers, through file drops, serial links, direct database access or a small service that translates between the old world and the new. The only real requirement is that the machine has some way out at all.
No. If you have one, we will happily read it. If you don’t, we work the requirements out together, usually by watching you do the job. Half a day on site regularly beats forty pages of paper.
Yes, and the workplace decides which form it takes. A customer portal belongs in the browser, where nobody has to install anything. A field team is better served by an app for iOS and Android that keeps taking orders in a dead zone and syncs once the signal is back. And where a scanner, scale or label printer is plugged straight into the computer, a desktop application for Windows or macOS is often the sturdier choice. Quite often it ends up being two of these on the same data: the same rules, the same numbers, wherever someone happens to be working.
