Senior engineering from day one
Our engineers bring experience from many projects across different industries and make architectural decisions with the maturity those decisions require. Senior profiles with real project ownership.
Service
Custom software development for mid-sized businesses — from MVP to complex business systems.
Off-the-shelf software solves off-the-shelf problems. Custom software development begins where your business needs something specific — an internal tool, a customer portal, an entire SaaS platform. We build it: pragmatic, production-ready, with senior engineering from day one.
What you get
Our engineers bring experience from many projects across different industries and make architectural decisions with the maturity those decisions require. Senior profiles with real project ownership.
Before the first line of code, we clarify the data model, interfaces, and scaling path. Clean foundations save months later.
We build what you actually need — modern web apps, robust backend APIs, native desktop tools, or hybrid setups. Technology is never an end in itself.
Automated tests, a clear test pyramid, continuous integration. We deliver software you can still trust in three years.
Code that doesn't just work but can also be understood and extended by others. Documentation, clear structures, meaningful abstractions.
Weekly demos, transparent communication, joint prioritisation. You're part of the team — not a sealed-off client.
What we work with
We pick the technology based on your needs — these are our daily tools.
Frequently asked
We start with a Discovery phase (1–4 weeks) to clarify requirements, architecture, and effort. Then delivery in two-week sprints with working software at the end of each iteration. You have transparency on status, effort, and next steps at all times — no status reports as a substitute for real delivery.
Price depends on scope. Typical MVPs start around €40,000, larger business platforms run into six figures. We work in two steps: first a fixed-price Discovery (1–3 weeks) that clarifies requirements, architecture, and effort. If we own delivery alone, a Werkvertrag (fixed-price contract) on the resulting backlog follows; if your own engineers contribute, a Dienstvertrag on day rates.
Yes. We regularly pick up existing .NET, TypeScript, and Python codebases, do an architecture review, then continue pragmatically. We don't trade a working solution for a rewrite if the existing code can carry the load — even when that's commercially less attractive for us.
Typically two to four senior engineers plus a lead architect with ownership. For larger initiatives we scale to up to eight people, always with a single point of contact. No rotating junior profiles.
You decide. We stay on as maintenance and ongoing-development partner, hand over cleanly to your team, or combine both. In every case you end up with a documented codebase, Architecture Decision Records, and knowledge transfer baked into the process — no lock-ins.
