Software development · Data · AI · Berlin

Software that takes work off your hands.

We build web applications, online forms, databases and AI solutions for businesses, public bodies and organisations. From the first sketch to day-to-day operation, hosted in Germany.

For trades, retail, practices, public bodies, foundations and charities.

Three areas

(01)Services

What we build and run.

Twelve services, each with a demo you can try. Open a service to see typical projects and its demo.

ASoftware development

Software made to measure.

We build what your processes need instead of squeezing you into an off-the-shelf product. Lean, clear and maintainable.

  • Customer portals, booking systems, internal tools.

    Software in the browser that fits the way you work: nothing to install, runs on any device, with the right permissions for every member of your team.

    Typical projects

    • Customer portal for a property manager
    • Online appointment booking for a practice
    • Job overview for field staff
  • Guided application journeys instead of PDF forms.

    Step by step instead of seven pages of PDF: with an eligibility check, real-time validation, file uploads and a finished PDF. Submissions reach your team in a structured format.

    In use at a German federal funding agency

    Typical projects

    • Grant applications
    • Membership and admission forms
    • Damage and fault reports
    • Job applications
  • Turn spreadsheets into a proper database.

    When five people work in the same spreadsheet, it is time for a database: with search, permissions, history and reports at the click of a button.

    Typical projects

    • Customer and order management
    • Stock and materials management
    • Course and participant management
  • Systems that talk to each other.

    Your shop, inventory, accounting and CRM exchange data automatically. Repetitive tasks run in the background, and errors are flagged before they cost money.

    Typical projects

    • Orders flow straight into accounting
    • Shop and stock kept in sync
    • Weekly reports by email
  • Extensions for Shopify, WooCommerce and Shopware.

    Custom features for your online shop, from compliance checks on product copy to a bespoke checkout. We build our own shop apps and know the platforms' review processes.

    Typical projects

    • Checking mandatory information in product copy
    • Custom fields at checkout
    • Connection to your inventory system
  • Making numbers and locations easy to grasp.

    Interactive maps, live dashboards and public data portals built from your own or open data. Can be embedded in your existing website.

    Typical projects

    • Location and branch map
    • Key figures for management
    • Open data portal for local authorities

BServices

Work we take off your plate.

We prepare data, migrate it, read documents and keep your systems running. Ongoing or as a one-off package.

  • Product data, documents and free text, neatly structured.

    Incomplete raw data becomes usable information: categorised, enriched, standardised and, if you wish, checked against the source by a second AI instance.

    Typical projects

    • Product descriptions and attributes
    • Categorisation for marketplaces
    • Structuring free-text fields
  • AI reads along, your team decides.

    Invoices, delivery notes, applications and emails are read, sorted and transferred into your systems. Unclear cases go to a person, not into a void.

    Typical projects

    • Pre-capturing incoming invoices
    • Pre-checking and summarising applications
    • Sorting shared inboxes
  • Moving off legacy systems without losing a thing.

    We extract your data from old programs, Access databases or collections of spreadsheets, remove duplicates and standardise formats. With an audit log, record by record.

    Typical projects

    • Switching inventory systems
    • Merging customer lists
    • Cleansing master data
  • An assistant that knows your documents.

    Manuals, price lists, regulations, internal wikis: an assistant finds the answer in your own documents and cites the source. Operated in line with data protection rules.

    Typical projects

    • Internal knowledge search
    • Drafting replies to customer enquiries
    • Onboarding new staff
  • Audits and fixes to WCAG 2.2.

    We audit websites, shops and forms against WCAG 2.2 and implement the findings, from keyboard navigation to screen readers.

    Typical projects

    • Audit report with action list
    • Accessible forms
    • Accessible websites and shops
  • Hosting in Germany, updates, monitoring.

    We run your application on servers in Germany, install updates, back up your data and notice when something is stuck. Ideally before your customers do.

    Typical projects

    • Hosting with a data processing agreement
    • Updates and security patches
    • Monitoring and backups

(02)Examples

Before and after.

Three typical jobs: how they reach us, and what they look like afterwards.

From PDF form to guided application

Applicants are guided step by step. Mistakes are caught straight away, not later by the case officer.

After

(03)Process

Start small, grow cleanly.

No big project with an uncertain ending. We work in stages that you see, test and pay for one at a time.

  1. 1

    no obligation

    Intro call

    You tell us what is holding you back. We listen, ask questions and tell you honestly whether software is the right answer.

  2. 2

    before any code is written

    Concept & fixed price

    You receive a clickable prototype and a quote with a fixed price per stage. No open-ended timesheets.

  3. 3

    visible progress

    Delivery in stages

    After each stage you try out what has been built. That way we can change course early instead of patching things up late.

  4. 4

    if you wish

    Operation & development

    We take care of hosting, maintenance and new features. Or we hand over to your team with clean documentation.

See it, don't just hear about it.

(06)Principles

What you can rely on.

01

Hosted in Germany

Your applications run on servers in Nuremberg. GDPR-compliant, with a data processing agreement.

02

A direct line

You talk to the people who build your software. No sales layer in between.

03

Fixed price per stage

Before we start, you know what a stage costs and what you will have at the end of it.

04

AI with judgement

We use AI where it is measurably better. Not because it happens to be fashionable.

You focus on your core business.
We take care of the software.

30 minutes, no obligation and no preparation needed. Afterwards you will know whether and how software can help you.
