Custom Web Applications and Portals.

Software follows the process. Not the other way round.

1. 01

   The challenge

   Standard software is optimised for the average. Not for processes that deviate from the norm for good reason. When internal workflows are too specific, external systems have to be integrated and no off-the-shelf tool can map the workflow, pressure builds to adapt reality to the software instead of the other way round. That costs more than a cleanly built solution, in licence fees, workarounds and tied-up time.
2. 02

   Our approach

   We start with a clean requirements analysis. Not with the technology stack. What does the application have to do, which systems must it talk to, who operates and who maintains it? The answers determine architecture, technology choice and deployment strategy.

   We develop without vendor lock-in: documented APIs, automated deployments, full handover on project completion. A central quality criterion: anyone wanting to extend or operate the application can do so with us or with another team that can read our documentation. That's not a promise, it's the precondition we develop under.

In practice

1. 01

   Industry

   Professional services / Mid-market
2. 02

   Challenge

   Internal review and approval process for client documents not mappable with standard software. 4 employees spent around 3 hours a day on manual workarounds in Excel and email.
3. 03

   Approach

   Two-day requirements workshop, architecture decision for a Laravel/Vue.js stack, development in 12 weeks with a weekly demo call, launch with training and handover documentation.
4. 04

   Result

   Tailored web application live in 14 weeks, manual effort reduced by two thirds, process lead time halved.

Our clients benefit from MyDQS through central access at any time to all documents and analyses around their certification — this creates transparency and reduces coordination effort. The automated processes, such as the dispatch of certificates and invoices, noticeably ease the load on finance and customer service.

Frequently asked questions

• What does a custom application cost?

  Custom development is offered on a fixed-price basis with defined phases. Scope (feature depth, system integrations, user groups, deployment complexity) determines the price. A rough estimate after a structured initial call with requirements clarification.

• How does it start?

  A requirements workshop (on site or remote) over one to two days. Result: a clear specification, architecture recommendation, schedule and fixed-price quote. No code before the requirements are set.

• What happens after the project?

  Full handover with documentation another team can continue from. Anyone keeping us for ongoing support or further development continues with the same team, with no ramp-up time.
