Have software built — custom software with scope and acceptance.

Custom software pays off when off-the-shelf bends your process. We build tailored web software for one clear business workflow: roles, data, integrations — planable for owners and decision-makers in DACH.

  • Built for companies
  • Scope & acceptance
Why this exists

Why “build us software” often derails

Cost of the status quo

Without a cut, an idea becomes an endless backlog. Hourly billing without milestones, unclear owners, and weekly feature wishes burn budget before the critical path is live.

What “done” looks likeAn accepted system for the one process that hurts — extendable, but not endlessly open.
When custom software makes sense

When SaaS cannot model the core process, integrations are missing, or you must own rights and data flows. Typical: mid-market, B2B services, product-adjacent teams.

Not for you if…

  • A finished SaaS covers ~90% and customization would cost more.
  • You want multi-year platform building without an MVP.
  • You want an agency with unlimited story points.
  • No-code/low-code is the real goal (we do not sell that as a substitute).
Use cases

What we mean by custom development

Not a feature gallery — recurring high-intent job types:

/ 01

Process software

Flow, status, and owners in one system instead of spreadsheets.

  • Workflow
  • Rights
  • Audit trail
/ 02

Ops software

Internal tools that carry day-to-day work — including exports and admin.

  • Dashboards
  • Master data
  • Handover
/ 03

Portals & access

Customer or partner access with clear role boundaries.

  • Auth
  • Views
  • Files
/ 04

Integrations (2–3 systems)

Data and events across a few systems — scoped, not enterprise ESB.

  • APIs
  • Visible failures
  • Retry/fix
Delivery

How software delivery works here

Briefing, scope, milestones, payment, and acceptance in the dashboard. You are not buying an open hours jar — you buy an acceptable release.

In the package

What is in the package

01
Core

Custom software in scope

Data model, logic, UI, and roles for the agreed process.

02
Included

Dashboard project ops

Pricing logic, reviews, and acceptance in one place.

03
Optional

Security / CASP

Separate when money, identity, or production data is involved.

04
Out

Unlimited roadmap

No “build everything” without a cut and acceptance.

Steps

Four steps from idea to release

01

Problem & success

Which workflow, which risk, what counts as done?

02

MVP cut

First release only for the critical path; rest as phase 2.

03

Build & reviews

Milestones, real scenarios, rights and data model first.

04

Acceptance & run

Checklist, handover, optional security follow-on.

Security

Security is scope — not a label

Custom software with sensitive data needs deliberate auth and boundaries. We build that in; audits and outside-in reviews stay separate offers.

  • Least privilege and admin paths in design
  • No security guarantee without a review scope
  • Honest handoff to cyber services
FAQ

Common objections

What does it cost to have software built?

Depends on scope. Custom projects typically start at the individual entry in our pricing model (orientation from about €3,990 net depending on scope). The dashboard briefing makes the band concrete.

Custom software vs internal tools?

Same delivery model. “Have software built” is the purchase intent; “internal tools” is the use case. Often both: tailored software for an internal or portal-backed process.

Are you a software development agency?

Freelance IT/software delivery with dashboard project ops — no agency self-label and no unlimited squad model. Clear scope cuts instead of story-point theatre.

Native mobile apps?

Focus is web/web apps (including responsive). Native only if explicitly scoped and tightly bounded.
