Services
Custom Software Development
We design and build the systems your operations depend on — backend services, complex integrations and business applications. Senior engineers only, and an architecture designed to absorb change rather than resist it.
What we take on
Backend and frontend engineering for systems that carry real operational load.
- 01
Backend services and APIs
REST and GraphQL services in Node.js/TypeScript or Python, designed around explicit contracts. Versioned, documented, and built to be consumed by teams other than ours.
- 02
Microservice architectures
We decompose systems where it pays off and keep them monolithic where it does not. Service boundaries follow your domain, not fashion.
- 03
ERP and legacy integrations
We connect modern applications to the systems that actually run your business — ERPs, warehouse systems, in-house software written a decade ago. Failure handling and data reconciliation are part of the design, not an afterthought.
- 04
React business applications
Internal tools, back-office consoles and customer portals in React and Next.js. Built for the people who use them eight hours a day.
- 05
Bespoke enterprise applications
End-to-end applications where off-the-shelf software would force your process into someone else’s mould. We build the workflows your operation is actually made of.
- 06
Database design and performance
PostgreSQL schema design, query optimisation and caching strategies with Redis. Data models that stay coherent as the system grows.
- 07
Modernisation of existing systems
Incremental refactoring or staged rewrites of ageing codebases, without stopping the business that runs on them. We tell you honestly which of the two your system needs.
How we build
A development discipline tuned for systems that must still be maintainable in year five.
01
Technical discovery
We read your code, map your integrations and talk to the people who operate the system today. Constraints found here cost far less than constraints found in sprint three.
02
Architecture before code
We write a short design document: data model, API contracts, failure modes, and the trade-offs we chose. You review and approve it before we build.
03
Delivery in thin slices
Working software reaches a staging environment every one to two weeks, wired into CI from the first commit. You track progress in running code, not in status reports.
04
Hardening and handover
Before go-live we complete the test suite, the documentation and the runbook. You can take the keys — or keep us on under a maintenance SLA.
Our default stack
These are defaults, not dogma — we prefer proven, widely supported tools and depart from them when your context justifies it.
Backend
- Node.js
- TypeScript
- Python
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- REST/GraphQL
Frontend
- React
- Next.js
- TypeScript
- Vite
Delivery
- Docker
- GitHub Actions
- Terraform
- AWS
- Azure
What changes for you
The point of custom software is not the code — it is what the code removes from your list of problems.
Software shaped to your operations
You stop bending your process around an off-the-shelf licence. The system encodes how your business actually works, and changes when the business does.
A codebase you own
Full IP transfer, current documentation, and an architecture a future team can pick up without archaeology. No structural dependency on us to make changes.
Predictable delivery
Senior engineers, honest estimates, and a fixed-scope or dedicated-team contract. You know what ships, when, and what it costs.
European by default
We are a custom software development company in Europe: contracts under EU law, GDPR compliance from the first design document, and engineers one hour ahead of CET, working alongside your teams.
Common questions
01Can you take over an existing codebase?
Yes. We start with a technical audit covering architecture, test coverage, deployment path and known risks. You receive a written assessment before we commit to a plan — and we tell you plainly if a staged rewrite is cheaper than a rescue.
02Our stack is not Node.js or Python. Is that a problem?
Usually not. Our defaults are Node.js/TypeScript and Python, but the work that determines project outcomes — API contracts, data modelling, integration design — carries across ecosystems. If your platform requires specialist depth we do not have, we say so before signing, not after.
03How do you keep quality high under deadline pressure?
The practices are contractual, not aspirational: automated tests in CI, mandatory code review on every merge, documentation written as we build. When a deadline threatens scope, we cut features, not tests — and that decision is made with you, in writing.
04What happens after go-live?
Your choice. We hand over a documented, tested system your team can operate — or we keep running it under our Managed IT Maintenance (SLA) service, with 24/7 monitoring and contractual response times. Many clients combine the two: their team owns the product roadmap, we guarantee the platform.
Let’s talk about your technical operations
A 30-minute introductory call with a senior engineer — no sales script, no obligation. We listen, we ask questions, and we tell you honestly whether we can help.
