Custom Business Software. No Compromises.
Off-the-shelf software not enough? Low-code too unstable? We develop robust internal tools, APIs and middleware with modern tech stack – scalable, type-safe and maintainable.

Engineering, Not Tinkering
Many companies try to map complex processes with drag-and-drop tools. The result: Unmaintainable "spaghetti workflows", missing error handling and security vulnerabilities.
We are software engineers. We solve problems with code. We build applications that are testable, version-controlled (Git) and don't buckle under millions of records.
Code > Low-Code
Real code is testable, versionable and scalable. It belongs to you, incurs no per-execution license costs and doesn't break just because a UI button changes.
Our Engineering Services
Full-Stack Development
From database to UI – everything from one source. We develop complete applications with modern technologies.
API Design (REST/GraphQL)
Clean, documented APIs with OpenAPI/Swagger. Standards-compliant, versioned and consumable by your partners.
Admin Dashboards
Custom React dashboards instead of Retool/Appsmith. Full control over UX, performance and features.
Data Processing
High-performance data processing with Go/Python. Batch jobs, ETL pipelines and stream processing.
Legacy Integration
Middleware for SOAP, legacy databases and ERP systems. We connect your legacy systems with modern apps.
Type-Safe Development
TypeScript, Go – errors are caught before runtime. Fewer bugs, more stability in production.
CI/CD Integration
Automated tests, deployments and code reviews. Every change is verified before going live.
Microservices
Modular architecture for scalability. Or a well-structured monolith – whatever fits your needs.
Managed Hosting
We write AND operate your software. DevOps included – on Hetzner, AWS or in your private cloud.
Professional tools for professional software
Full control over UX/UI with Tailwind and Shadcn/UI
Real APIs, real validation, type-safe
Clean schema design with migrations
Infrastructure as Code instead of manual hosting
How we solve real problems
High-Performance Data Processing
Import and validate 100,000 CSV rows per night. Zapier crashes.
A Go microservice that parses the stream, validates and writes via batch insert to the DB. Takes seconds instead of hours.
Complex Admin Dashboard
Appsmith/Retool is too inflexible for complex UI requirements (e.g., custom calendar view).
A Next.js dashboard with custom React components, optimized caching and perfect UX.
API Gateway / Middleware
The ERP system has an ancient SOAP interface.
A Node.js wrapper that translates SOAP into a clean REST/GraphQL API that modern apps can consume.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most important questions about custom software development
Topics
Code vs. Low-Code
Low-code is great for prototypes. But beyond a certain complexity it becomes unmaintainable, slow and expensive. Real code is testable, versionable and scalable. It belongs to you, incurs no per-execution license costs and doesn't break just because a UI button changes.
No. We use professional frameworks (like React, NestJS, Symfony), but we build custom software. This guarantees that the solution maps exactly to your process – not the other way around.
We use standards from professional software development: Git for version control, CI/CD pipelines for automatic deployments, automated tests (Unit/E2E) and code reviews. This sets us apart from freelancers who "script something".
That's our core business. We analyze your existing Zapier/n8n workflows, identify the weak points and gradually migrate to real code. We often start with the most critical component.
Tech Stack & Architecture
We choose the best tool for the job: TypeScript/Node.js for fast web backends, Go (Golang) for high-performance background services, Python for data processing and AI, PHP for web platforms.
You do. 100%. You get access to the Git repository. No vendor lock-in through proprietary platforms.
We're not dogmatic. For many SMBs, a well-structured modular monolith is better than 50 complex microservices. We choose the architecture that fits your team size and requirements.
Integration & Legacy
Yes. We write middleware (connectors) that securely access legacy systems and prepare the data in modern format (e.g., as JSON API). This lets you build modern frontends without touching the old backend.
Gladly. We often follow the headless approach. We build a clean, documented API (Swagger/OpenAPI) that can then be used by your team, mobile apps or partners.
Yes. We seamlessly integrate into existing architectures. Whether new modules for your CRM, additional endpoints for your API or a completely new frontend for your backend – we extend what already works.
We write scripts that extract data from old schemas, clean it (fix encoding errors, normalization) and transfer it to modern databases (PostgreSQL).
Process & Costs
With an architecture workshop. We analyze your requirements, sketch the technical solution and create a proposal. Development only begins after your approval.
It depends on the scope. A simple admin dashboard starts at around 8,000-15,000 EUR. Complex platforms with multiple microservices cost more. We work with fixed prices per milestone – no nasty surprises.
An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is often ready in 4-8 weeks. Then we iterate based on your feedback. Agile sprints ensure you see results quickly.
