Software development
Custom software development
Off-the-shelf software fits. Or it does not.
Sooner or later the moment arrives when Excel is no longer enough. Or when the software you have used for years reaches its limits. Or when a process in your company is so particular that no finished product really reflects it.
That is the point where we build individual software. Web apps, SaaS products, internal tools, mobile applications and MVPs. Custom software development for companies in Reutlingen, Germany, in Tübingen, Stuttgart and across the country. Agile development, clear communication, and code your next agency will understand.
Honestly
Not every problem needs custom software.
But for many companies there is a clear point from which their own solution is cheaper than five half-fitting tools. You may be at exactly that point.
You are bending off-the-shelf software into shape.
The tool fits 80 per cent. Your staff handle the remaining 20 per cent by hand. Every day. That costs more than software that fits from the start.
You use five tools for one process.
None of them talks to the others. Data is transferred manually. Mistakes happen. And nobody has an overview. That is not a systems problem, it is a software problem.
You have an idea for a product.
Software your industry needs. Or an internal tool that makes your operation more efficient. You simply do not know how to start and whether it is affordable.
You were unhappy with an earlier development project.
It took too long. It got too expensive. It did not deliver what was agreed. That happens more often than people think. And it does not have to go that way again.
You may recognise this
The sentences we hear most often from owners.
If you recognise yourself in one of these sentences, you are in the right place.
"We use five different tools. All of them roughly suitable, none of them properly. And none of them talks to the others."
"My staff keep spreadsheets because the software cannot do what we need. It has been like that for years."
"I have an idea for an app. But I do not know what it costs or how long it takes."
"An agency built software for us. It took twice as long as planned and it still does not run properly."
What we do for you
Good software has four qualities.
We take care of all four. You bring the knowledge of your business. We bring the rest.
It solves the right problem.
Before we write a line of code, we understand what you really need. Not what you think you need. What your operation actually needs. That is the most important step.
It runs reliably.
Fast, stable, scalable. An application that works for ten users has to work for a thousand as well. We build the foundation so that it carries the load.
It is maintainable.
Clean code, complete documentation, all rights with you. If you ever want to carry on with a different developer, that is no problem.
It fits your budget.
We estimate the effort after a short concept phase and give you a fixed price. You know what you are paying before we start.
After three months
This is what a company looks like when it has the right software.
Your staff use the new tool every day. Not because they have to, but because it genuinely makes their work easier. The spreadsheet that was maintained for years is gone.
A new employee starts. Onboarding runs through the internal tool. Access, tasks, information: all in one place. Getting up to speed takes half as long as before.
Your first external customer tries your SaaS product. They register, set up their account and start working. Without a manual, without your support. It simply works.
You want a new feature. You send us a message. Two weeks later it is live. The code is clean enough for new features to be built quickly.
This is how simple it is
Software development in five phases. Fixed price. Finished software.
No project in a tunnel that runs for months without you seeing what is being created. No surprise invoice at the end. We deliver regularly, explain what we are doing and gather your feedback early.
- You talk directly to the developer building your software. No sales team passing on requirements.
- Fixed price after the concept phase. You know exactly what is coming.
- One contact person who knows your project from beginning to end.
- Weekly updates, short and understandable. You do not have to decide anything you do not want to decide.
- All rights, all code and all credentials belong to you. No artificial dependency.
- We tell you honestly if off-the-shelf software is enough for you. We do not build anything you do not need.
Discovery and concept.
We work out what you really need. User stories, technical concept, prioritisation. What must version 1 be able to do? What comes later? At the end: a clear plan and a fixed price.
Design and prototype.
A clickable prototype before a line of code is written. You can try it out, give feedback and correct the direction early.
Development in sprints.
Agile development in two-week sprints. Every week you see what currently exists. No months-long tunnel without a view inside.
Testing and launch.
Manual and automated tests, performance optimisation, security review. Launch with support, not hand over and goodbye.
Maintenance and further development.
Software is never finished. We are there for updates, bug fixes and new features, for as long as you want.
What you actually get
These values come with every piece of software we build.
You do not need to understand the technology. You only need to know what is different in your business afterwards.

Free initial assessment

You have a software idea and want to know whether it can be built and what it would cost? We analyse your requirements and give you an honest initial assessment. Sometimes that is: not yet, or an off-the-shelf solution is enough. We tell you that too.
