Software development for SMBs & SMEs

Custom software development. Built around how you work.

Web apps, internal portals and SaaS tools instead of spreadsheets, paper and isolated tools – connected to your ERP, Microsoft 365 and CRM. You own the source code.

  1. Clickable prototype first
  2. Connects to your systems
  3. You own the source code
  4. GDPR-compliant

From patchwork to your own app

A service company with 16 technicians planned in Excel, wrote reports on paper and sent photos via WhatsApp. This is how the team works today, with a service portal of its own.

  1. 01 · Job intake

    One inbox instead of three channels

    Fault reports arrive by phone, email or web form. The portal turns each one into a structured job – customer data, site and installation history are pulled from the ERP automatically.

    Searching: ~1 instead of ~6 hrs a week

  2. 02 · Dispatching

    A digital dispatch board instead of Excel

    Jobs are planned via drag and drop. Holidays and appointments from the Outlook calendars are visible, and when a job moves, the technician gets a push notification instead of a phone call.

    Rescheduling: ~2.5 instead of ~10 hrs a week

  3. 03 · Technician app

    The report is created on site

    Checklist, photos, materials and signature right on the work phone – offline too, because boiler rooms rarely have a signal. No carbon copy, no WhatsApp photo.

    Retyping: 0 instead of ~12 hrs a week

  4. 04 · Invoicing

    From report to invoice – with sign-off

    The report PDF goes to SharePoint and to the customer, the ERP receives a draft invoice. The invoice only goes out once accounting releases it.

    avg. 48 hours instead of avg. 18 days to invoice

  5. 05 · Result

    One portal instead of a patchwork

    After six weeks, the first version with the dispatch board and digital service reports was live; the invoicing pipeline and SharePoint archive followed in two expansion stages. The app belongs to the company – no per-seat licence fees.

What changed in this case

Measured results of this one company after three months in production – not an industry average.

What we build

Software that fits into your existing systems and grows with your company.

  1. Web apps & internal portals

    Applications for your team: data entry, planning, approvals – available anywhere in the browser.

    Example: A scheduling portal replaces three spreadsheets and shows every crew only their own jobs.

    Field report: web apps for SMEs
  2. SaaS product development

    Turn your industry solution into a product: multi-tenant, with user management and billing.

    Example: A SaaS app for building services replaced Excel, paper and WhatsApp – invoices now go out after an average of 48 hours instead of 18 days.

    Read the case study
  3. Integrations & APIs

    APIs and connectors that turn your ERP, SharePoint, Google Drive, CRM and databases into one system.

    Example: Your ERP reports new orders straight into the web app – no double entry, no media breaks.

    API integration
  4. AI features & knowledge bases

    RAG, chat and AI agents built into your software – with secure access to your own data.

    Example: The portal answers questions about contracts and manuals from the internal knowledge base.

When custom software is actually worth it

Not every problem needs custom development. But when your process is what makes your business, per-user license costs keep climbing or no tool connects your systems, software you own pays for itself.

Read the cost guide
Off-the-shelf
When the process is industry-standard and you can adapt to the tool – quick to start, but per-user fees and hard limits on edge cases.
Custom software
When the process is your competitive edge: workflows that fit exactly, full data ownership, no per-seat licenses – the code is yours.
Hybrid
Keep your standard tools and close the gaps with custom building blocks and automation – often the most economical path.

From requirements workshop to managed operations

  1. Requirements workshop & clickable prototype

    We map your workflows, clarify roles and systems, and turn that into a clickable prototype. Everyone involved sees early what the software will look like – before a single line of production code is written.

  2. MVP scoping: what's essential, what can wait?

    Together we prioritize: which features solve the core problem, which come later? That keeps the entry affordable and gets the software into real use quickly – instead of an endless wish list.

    Entry point: software MVP from €4,900 one-time – larger projects are quoted transparently by effort.

  3. Development in short iterations

    You regularly see working increments with real data and give feedback directly. Integrations with SharePoint, CRM or databases are built in from the start – not bolted on as an afterthought.

  4. Launch, hardening & handover

    Before go-live: tests, error handling, a roles and permissions concept, documentation. You receive the source code and a handover that lets your team understand and operate the solution.

  5. Operations & continuous development

    On request we take over hosting, monitoring and new features as ongoing support from €290 per month – with defined response times. Or your team takes over completely: the code and documentation are yours.

Custom software – frequently asked

The entry point is the software MVP from €4,900 one-time – including a requirements workshop, a clickable prototype and implementation as a web app, internal portal or SaaS tool. Larger projects are quoted transparently by effort, and we can run operations for you from €290 per month. All details on our pricing page.
Typically 3–8 weeks, depending on scope. After the requirements workshop you first see a clickable prototype, then we develop in short iterations – so you see results early and can adjust course at any time.
You do. You receive the complete source code with documentation and a proper handover – no vendor lock-in. You can continue development in-house, hand it to a third party or keep it with us under our support (from €290/month).
A web app solves one concrete job for your team, an internal portal bundles data and workflows for many employees, and a SaaS tool makes your solution available to customers or partners as well. Many projects start as a lean web app and grow from there – we design the architecture for that from day one.
Off-the-shelf software wins when a process is industry-standard and you can adapt to the tool. Custom software pays off when the process is your competitive edge, per-user license costs keep climbing or no tool connects your systems.

Yes – that is the core of our approach: integration with SharePoint, Google Drive, CRM systems and existing databases via APIs. On request we add AI features such as RAG knowledge bases, chat or agents – and connect the software with your automations.
We develop GDPR-compliant, including a roles and permissions concept. Hosting follows your requirements – in your own infrastructure or in the cloud region of your choice. Your data stays where you decide.
Yes. We work fully remote with clients worldwide, including the United States – in English or German, with documentation, training and support included. Meetings are scheduled to overlap with your time zone.
