Custom software

Custom software that fits the way you work.

When off-the-shelf software only covers your process with workarounds, we build an application made for it – from web apps and internal tools to customer portals.

01Custom software

When custom software pays off.

Custom software pays off when an important process keeps hitting limits: information is entered twice, spreadsheets grow unmanageable, several tools do not fit together or an off-the-shelf product forces workarounds. What decides is not company size, but how often and how noticeably the process costs time.

02Custom software

What we build.

We build web applications that run in the browser without installation, internal tools for recurring tasks, portals for customers or partners and dashboards that bring figures from several sources together. Where the use case calls for it, the application becomes an installable web app (PWA) for phones and tablets.

03Custom software

From process to application.

We start with the process, not the technology. We clarify who works with the application, which data it needs and how success is measured. The result is a clearly scoped first version that is usable early. Further features follow real usage rather than guesswork.

04Custom software

Solid technology that lasts.

We use widely adopted, well-maintained technologies so your application stays maintainable. That includes clean interfaces to existing systems, clear permissions and a documented structure that makes maintenance and later extensions easier.

05Custom software

Operation and further development.

We can also take care of deployment, updates, monitoring and further development. The application is updated and hardened regularly and grows as your process changes.

Common questions

How much does custom software cost?

It depends on scope, the number of integrations and the requirements for operation and security. After an initial conversation you receive an assessment and a quote for a clearly scoped starting point.

How long does development take?

We plan so that you can work with a first version early; further features follow step by step. We give a reliable schedule once the requirements are clear.

Can the software work with my existing systems?

Usually yes, as long as those systems offer APIs, exports or database access. Our process automation page explains how we connect systems.

Custom or off-the-shelf software?

If an off-the-shelf product covers your process well, it is usually the more economical choice – and we will tell you so. Custom software pays off where standard solutions keep forcing workarounds.
