Custom software · Fixed price · you own the code
For the one process no tool covers. We build it. At a fixed price. And afterwards it belongs to you.
At some point no standard tool fits any more: the process that determines your margin runs across three systems and two spreadsheets. The rented tool hits its limits and gets more expensive per user. Or you depend on a provider who can change prices at any time.
We build exactly the piece of software that is missing. The scope is fixed beforehand, so is the price. Afterwards you get the complete code, the manual and the freedom to develop it further with whoever you want. If a standard tool is enough, we say so instead of building a worse version of it.
Short conversation, fixed-price quote within five days, one to sixteen weeks to delivery depending on scope. No sales pitch.
What you end up with
- A tool that covers exactly your process, not roughly
- Complete code, manual and access with you
- Runs on servers in Germany that you control
- No licence, no fee per user, no term
What we do differently
-
We also say no
If a standard tool covers your case well, we recommend it. Building your own only pays off for what sets you apart.
-
Fixed price means fixed price
Scope and price are set before the build. If it takes longer, that is our problem, not yours.
-
You see every step
Weekly demos and access to the code during the build. No surprise at the end.
-
You talk to the one who builds
No sales, no project manager in between. Whoever designs the software is the person you talk to.
When to build
Not everything is worth building yourself.
The question is not whether building is possible. The question is whether it pays off for exactly this process.
Pays off when
- A process determines your margin and no tool covers it properly
- The rented tool bills per user and your team is growing
- You depend on a provider whose prices or future you do not control
- Data has to stay in Germany and no provider should have access
- Several systems do not align and people copy by hand
Does not pay off when
- · A standard tool already does your case well
- · The process changes fundamentally every few months
- · Nobody wants to look after the software later and no operation by us is wanted
- · It is only about a few hundred transactions a year
We calculate against your actual tool stack and your volumes, not against an industry average. The calculator shows the maths openly.
The alternatives
What software really costs.
Four ways to get software. Each has a price that shows on the invoice and one that does not.
| Path | What shows on the invoice | What does not |
|---|---|---|
| Classic agency | A mid-size project costs about EUR 138,000 in Germany | Office, sales on commission, project management, account management. Often only a third of it is real development |
| In-house team | Two developers cost about EUR 276,000 a year all in | Three to six months of hiring, onboarding, management. And what do they do between two projects |
| Freelancers abroad | EUR 18 to 36 an hour instead of 92 to 138 | Time zones, misunderstandings, rework, data protection questions, nobody accountable after handover |
| No-code tool | EUR 1,840 to 9,200 per month, permanently | Platform limits, fee per user, data with the provider, no usable export. Moving means rebuilding |
With us: lean structure without office, sales and middle layers, servers in Germany. That lands with you as 40 to 60 percent below agency prices.
What we build
From automation to platform.
With time frames from finished projects. The exact scope is settled after the conversation.
-
Automating processes
What your team repeats by hand every week runs on its own: invoices, order handling, stock reconciliation, handovers between systems. Two to six weeks.
-
Reports and overviews
Key figures from several sources on one screen, loaded in seconds instead of minutes. Three to eight weeks.
-
Data pipelines
Bringing scattered data together, preparing it and making it available in one place. Four to twelve weeks.
-
Portals and internal tools
Customer portal, admin interface, platform for partners. Six to sixteen weeks.
-
Interfaces
CRM with inventory, payment with accounting, shipping with shop. Two to eight weeks.
-
AI features
Reading documents, pre-sorting enquiries, summarising texts, improving search. Only where it measurably helps. Four to ten weeks.
-
Mobile apps
For field service, sales or your customers. Usable offline, with notifications. Six to fourteen weeks.
-
Servers and operation
On hardware you control. Setup, automatic delivery, monitoring. Two to six weeks.
-
Custom shops
Ordering portal for business customers, your own marketplace, subscription models. No fee per sale. Eight to sixteen weeks.
What a project looks like
Three project types, no customer cases.
We publish numbers only where a client has released them and the method is documented.
-
Management reporting
Quarterly report from five systems
- Starting point
- Reports are created by hand from several systems, take weeks and contain errors.
- Built
- A data pipeline that brings the sources together and a report created at the push of a button, with a traceable origin for every figure.
- After
- The report is reproducible. How much the turnaround shortens depends on data quality and approvals.
-
Consolidating analytics
Customer data in four paid tools
- Starting point
- Each tool has its own pricing model, none has the complete picture.
- Built
- Your own data pipeline and an overview so the data model belongs to you and the licence count does not grow with the team.
- After
- One place for all customer data. The saving depends on the tool stack replaced.
-
Stock reconciliation
Stock levels drift apart across channels
- Starting point
- Several sales channels, overselling, support effort.
- Built
- A reconciliation service with clear rules for conflicts and notifications so all channels agree on one source.
- After
- One truth for stock. The result depends on the channels’ interfaces and the conflict rule.
Where it runs
Your software on servers you control.
In Germany, at Hetzner, or wherever you want. No code on foreign servers that do not belong to you.
-
Data centres in Germany
Nuremberg and Falkenstein, ISO 27001 certified. Access control, redundant power, monitoring around the clock.
-
Data stays with you
No provider has access to your business data. Encrypted transfer, logs for audits.
-
Availability by agreement
Redundant systems with automatic failover where needed. The target is agreed per project, not promised across the board.
How it runs
From the conversation to the handover
-
30 minutes
Conversation
You describe the process, we ask questions. If building is not the right way, we say so here.
-
within five days
Scope and fixed price
What gets built, what does not, when it is done, what it costs. Changes afterwards are re-assessed openly.
-
one to sixteen weeks
Build
Weekly demo, access to the code during the build, test environment for your team.
-
one day
Launch
On your servers, with monitoring. The old process stays until the new one is verified.
-
includes training
Handover
Complete code, manual, access, training for your team. Then you decide: run it yourself, support by effort or fixed support.
Prices
Fixed price, known before the build.
The price depends on scope. You get it within five days of the conversation. Scope changes are re-assessed openly, small adjustments are usually simply absorbed.
What you get
- by quote
Fixed price
Scope, schedule and cost are set before the build. No hourly overruns, no surprise invoice.
- at handover
Complete code
The full code repository, the configuration and the deployment scripts. All rights pass to you with the final payment.
- EUR 0 ongoing
No licence
You pay for the build once. What runs afterwards is hosting with your provider, no subscription with us.
Afterwards, optional
- by quote
Support by effort
When you want to change or extend something. No commitment.
- monthly, cancellable
Fixed support
Updates, security, monitoring and intervention on errors.
All prices net. NDA on request.

Common questions
What is asked most often before a project.
What happens if you are gone after the handover?
You own the complete code and the manual. Any developer can take it over. Support by us exists if you want it, but you are never tied in.
How can you be cheaper than agencies?
No office, no sales on commission, no bench of idle developers. You pay for development, not for structure. That is 40 to 60 percent below agency prices.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. We have preferred tools but adapt when your team is going to maintain the code later. Practice before principle.
How does a fixed price work when requirements change?
The scope is set after the conversation. Changes are re-assessed openly. Small adjustments we usually just absorb, big ones get a new quote. That protects both sides.
What if it takes longer than estimated?
Fixed price means we carry that, unless you change the scope. That forces us to estimate well. No surprise invoice.
Do we see the code during the build?
Yes. Weekly demos and access to the code from the start. No black box until delivery.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, that is standard. All rights pass to you with the final payment: code, manual, files, data.
