Custom software development

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

Concrete, not abstract.

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.

Architecture-first approach

Before the first line of code, we clarify the data model, interfaces, and scaling path. Clean foundations save months later.

Web, backend, desktop

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.

Testing strategy as standard

Automated tests, a clear test pyramid, continuous integration. We deliver software you can still trust in three years.

Long-term maintainability

Code that doesn't just work but can also be understood and extended by others. Documentation, clear structures, meaningful abstractions.

Close collaboration

Weekly demos, transparent communication, joint prioritisation. You're part of the team — not a sealed-off client.

What we work with

Technologies.

We pick the technology based on your needs — these are our daily tools.

  • .NET / C#
  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Node.js
  • Python
  • PostgreSQL

Frequently asked

Common questions about this service.

  • How does a typical custom software development project with Tech42 run?

    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.

  • What does custom software development cost?

    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.

  • Can you take over existing code and continue development?

    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.

  • How many engineers work on my project?

    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.

  • What happens after launch?

    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.
