Custom software that fits the way you work
We build internal tools, bespoke business applications, SaaS products and digital platforms for companies across the DACH region. Tailored to your processes, systems and goals, from the first idea to working software.
When off-the-shelf software reaches its limits
Off-the-shelf software is built for the average company. It covers the workflows many businesses share, and often that is exactly right. It gets difficult where your company works differently from the average: a particular approval process, data that moves back and forth between several systems, or an offer that doesn’t exist on the market yet.
That is when workarounds appear. Data is exported from one system, cleaned up in Excel and typed into the next one. Important information lives in inboxes instead of a shared application. Every exception becomes manual work, and the more the business grows, the more time these workarounds cost your team.
Custom software starts right there. Instead of bending your processes to fit a finished product, the software is shaped around your processes. It reflects what makes your company different and connects to the systems you already use.
What we build
Bespoke software for SMEs, from internal tools to your own product.
-
Internal tools
Applications for your teams’ daily work: internal information, tasks and approvals, planning and overviews that are scattered across spreadsheets and emails today.
-
Business applications
Software for one specific business process, such as procurement, reporting or finance, matched to your rules, roles and exceptions.
-
SaaS products
Your own software product for customers, from the first usable version to ongoing development. With Xcan, Gehalfe and Statuly we also build products of our own.
-
Digital platforms
Portals and platforms through which customers, suppliers or partners work with your company and exchange information.
When bespoke software pays off
Not every problem needs its own software. A good standard product is often the faster and cheaper choice, and we will tell you so in the initial call. Custom software is worth it mainly in these situations:
- Your process is a competitive advantage. If the way you work sets you apart, the software should support it rather than flatten it.
- Several systems need to work together. ERP, CRM, accounting and specialist applications should exchange data without anyone retyping it. That often takes custom interfaces, which we build as API integrations.
- Standard software has turned into a patchwork. When more and more spreadsheets, macros and workarounds grow around a product, a fitting application is often simpler to run.
- You want to offer your own product. An idea for a digital product can’t be built with ready-made software. An MVP, a first usable version, often helps here, built as a web or mobile app.
- Repetitive tasks eat up time. When documents, orders or invoices are processed by hand again and again, AI automation is worth a look, on its own or as part of an application.
How a project works
Your first MVP version is ready 72 hours after the scope is agreed. So you have something to try out early on.
What you get
- A joint analysis of your workflows, goals and systems
- An agreed scope with core features, integrations and optional extensions
- Software built in short cycles that you can review after every step
- Connections to ERP, CRM and external systems through custom APIs where they are needed
- Joint testing with your team, rollout and go-live
- Maintenance, updates and further development after launch
Development happens in Germany. We run projects from our office in Frankfurt am Main and are happy to come to you for workshops.
We have delivered projects in fintech, legal tech and SaaS. We don’t name clients or project details publicly, because we work under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with our clients.
Three ways to work with us
Whether it’s a new product, extra capacity or a system that should finally run smoothly.
-
End to end
From discovery to deployment, we own the whole project.
-
Team extension
Individual senior specialists or small squads join your running project.
-
Existing software
Integrations, new features, optimisation, bug fixes and maintenance for the systems you already run.

Frequently asked questions about custom software
What does custom software cost?
That depends on scope, systems and integrations. After your enquiry we clarify goals, systems and scope in an initial call. You then receive an estimate of effort and cost before anything is built.
Is custom software worth it for a small or mid-sized company?
Often yes, if a process makes your company special, several systems need to work together, or more and more workarounds grow around standard software. If a ready-made product fits better, we’ll tell you in the initial call.
Can we start with a first version?
Yes. In the “define scope” step we agree on core features and optional extensions separately. A first usable version can go live while further features follow later.
Will the new software work with our existing systems?
That is the normal case. We connect ERP, CRM and external systems with custom APIs and data integrations, so data doesn’t have to be maintained twice.
How fast is a first version ready?
The first MVP version is ready 72 hours after the scope is agreed.
Which industries have you worked in?
Fintech, legal tech and SaaS. We don’t name clients publicly because of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
What happens after launch?
We stay on for maintenance, updates and further development.
Which workflow doesn’t fit any standard software?
Tell us about it in an intro call. Afterwards you’ll know whether custom software is worth it and what effort to expect.
