Pharma
Traceable, quality-critical processes require more than generic workflows. We build applications for custom approvals, operational data capture, reporting and specialised processes that fit reliably into existing operations.
Custom software for industry
Your processes are not standard. Your software should not be either.
We build custom ERP systems and production solutions for industrial companies when spreadsheets, isolated tools or off-the-shelf software can no longer represent complex workflows properly.
Does this sound familiar?
When spreadsheets, standard software and isolated tools can no longer keep up with your processes.
Many ERP and production projects do not start with a desire for new software, but with a very specific bottleneck: too much manual work, missing transparency or workflows that standard systems simply cannot represent. That is where custom ERP systems and production software create value.
01
Excel has become part of the core process.
Planning, status data and critical process knowledge depend on files, individual people and manual routines. Every additional exception increases maintenance effort — and with it the risk of errors, version conflicts and missing transparency.
02
Standard software misses the part that matters most.
Eighty percent may fit, but the remaining twenty percent often contains the workflows that make your business different. What the ERP cannot handle ends up in spreadsheets, add-on tools or manual workarounds.
03
Critical process knowledge lives in people’s heads.
Important know-how is concentrated among a few employees, handovers become fragile and substitutions difficult. Custom software makes these workflows transparent, repeatable and usable across the team.
04
The data exists — just not where it is needed.
Information is spread across ERP, spreadsheets, shopfloor systems and isolated tools, then manually brought together. Reliable KPIs, feedback and decision-making data therefore reach the right people too late.
05
Every new exception makes legacy solutions slower.
Historically grown systems eventually stop scaling with data volume, user numbers and process complexity. New problems are solved with yet another tool until the system landscape itself becomes the problem.
What we build
Custom software for the processes that truly define your business.
Our focus is on custom ERP systems and software close to production. We build from scratch, extend existing systems or replace fragmented legacy solutions step by step. What matters is not the software label, but that processes, data and responsibilities work together cleanly.
01 / ERP
Custom ERP systems
For companies whose core processes are too specialised for off-the-shelf software. We bring orders, master data, roles, approvals and custom workflows into one application — including reporting and integration with existing systems.
Explore ERP →02 / PRODUCTION
Production planning & control
When the ERP provides the commercial foundation but planning and shopfloor processes need more depth, we build the production-focused layer in between. It uses existing data, represents your planning logic, exposes bottlenecks and returns results to the systems involved.

One team, end to end
From process analysis to continuous improvement in live operations.
Complex custom software does not improve when analysis, concept, development and operations are split across multiple parties. We therefore stay responsible throughout the application lifecycle and keep domain experts and developers closely connected. Knowledge stays within the project, decisions are faster and the software can evolve together with your business.
01
Analysis
We understand processes, users, data and existing system boundaries. We look beyond requirements to identify the causes behind manual workarounds and bottlenecks.
02
Concept
Domain logic becomes a viable target architecture with clear priorities. Interfaces, data flows and roles are designed from the start to fit your existing system landscape.
03
Implementation
We develop in short iterations and show working results early. Feedback is discussed directly on the application and flows into the next steps without long communication chains.
04
Operate & evolve
After go-live, we remain responsible for maintenance, support and continuous improvement. New requirements, integrations or training can be added step by step.
Focused on industry01 02 03
Industries differ. Good custom software always starts with the process.
We deliberately work across industries. This allows us to transfer and combine proven approaches without forcing processes into an industry template. We encounter particularly complex requirements in these areas:
Automotive
Variants, multiple stakeholders and complex planning processes place high demands on data quality and collaboration. Custom software creates one consistent data foundation and connects planning, operations and system integration.
Mechanical engineering & manufacturing
Order-specific workflows, production planning and shopfloor feedback rarely fit completely into standard templates. We digitise the specialised processes that are essential to efficient manufacturing operations.
Selected projects
CASE 01
CASE 02
CASE 03
Complex workflows become systems that work in day-to-day operations.
Our projects start from very different situations — from spreadsheet-driven planning and manual data capture to fragmented quality processes. What they have in common is that the result is not an abstract feature list, but an application that makes a real operational process simpler, faster or more transparent.
CASE 01Automotive
Planning production lines digitally
Distributed Word, PowerPoint and Excel files were replaced by a central collaborative planning platform with consistent data and automated exports — saving several days of work.
CASE 02Pharma
Making operational data usable
Manual operational data capture was digitised, evaluated centrally and made visible through dashboards, creating a stronger basis for productivity and workforce planning.
CASE 03Quality Management
Bringing quality processes into one ERP
Paper- and Excel-based workflows were moved into a central ERP solution with mobile data capture. Protocols are created faster and the overall process becomes significantly simpler.

Your process. Our next question.
Is it technically feasible — and worth it?
In an initial conversation, we clarify processes, system landscape and target state — without a sales marathon, but with a useful technical assessment.
