LocationCustom software development in Bonn
Krafteq is your IT partner from the Rhineland for trades, small business and mid-market companies in Bonn — from the federal quarter (Bundesviertel) and the city centre to Bad Godesberg, Beuel and Hardtberg. We build your own software instead of a subscription: fixed price EUR 1,000–2,000, first version in under 4 weeks, optional Krafteq Cloud hosting at EUR 250 per year per software (first year included). Headquarters in Leverkusen — about 50 minutes from Bonn, on-site meetings are entirely feasible.
Why KrafteqKrafteq for Bonn — from the Rhineland, on site possible
Bonn was the federal capital until 1990 and is today a UN city, home to several federal agencies and a noticeably solid, conservative business culture — supported by a strong hidden-champion sector and a well-established trades community across the city centre, Bad Godesberg, Beuel and Hardtberg. We understand that this region expects a reliable, personal counterpart who can be at the table within an hour when needed.
About 50 minutes from Leverkusen
Our office in Leverkusen sits roughly 50 kilometres from Bonn — about 50 minutes via the A59 or A555 motorway. On-site meetings in the federal quarter, Bad Godesberg or Beuel are feasible without an overnight stay; we come to you, rather than asking you to travel to Cologne or Hamburg.
Direct, personal point of contact
Throughout the project you talk to the same point of contact in Leverkusen — no call centre, no anonymous ticket queue. Enquiries are answered within 24 hours, anything critical faster.
German GmbH, headquartered in Leverkusen
krafteq GmbH is registered with the Cologne commercial register, headquartered in Leverkusen. Contracts, invoices and communication run end-to-end in German under German law — relevant if your Bonn business deals with public authorities, chambers or regulated industries.
Engineering standards from enterprise work
We have spent years working with enterprise customers in industry and manufacturing on production systems. The same standards — code review, security patching, audit-grade traceability, EU hosting — flow into projects for the 5- to 20-person business in Bonn.
AudiencesFor trades and small business in Bonn
Bonn combines a substantial historic-building stock — the city centre, Bad Godesberg, Endenich — with the modern administrative and consulting fabric around the federal quarter. We build software for the small and mid-sized businesses that keep this city running: trades first, other small business right alongside.
Plumbing, heating, air conditioning (SHK)
From a heating swap in Beuel's old town to a maintenance contract for a federal agency near Tulpenfeld: order management, maintenance plans, mobile time tracking and invoicing in one piece of software, mapped to your real workflows.
Electrical installation
Photovoltaics, e-mobility, smart-home and classic electrical work — for businesses that need to keep orders, materials and maintenance schedules straight across the city centre, Bad Godesberg and right-bank Beuel.
Painters, decorators and interior fit-out
Old-building refurbishment in Bad Godesberg, residential renovation in Endenich, commercial space in the federal quarter: quotes with measurements, on-site photo documentation and invoicing in a single workflow — across smartphone, tablet and desktop.
Carpenters and joiners
Custom furniture, interior fit-out and door restoration in Bonn's older buildings: estimating, material lists and workshop scheduling in software shaped around your workshop — not around a fictional standard.
Roofers
Refurbishment of historic roofs in the city centre and Bad Godesberg, flat-roof maintenance in the federal quarter: digital measurements, safety records, maintenance contracts and invoicing — without the Excel graveyard.
Other small businesses and service firms
Architecture and engineering offices, property managers, tax service providers and clinics around Bonn's federal and UN ecosystem also build their own software with us instead of adding yet another subscription.
ComparisonBonn agency vs subscription vendor vs Krafteq
Three realistic options for a Bonn-based business that needs its own software — with an honest read on each. Krafteq is not the right fit for everyone: if you need a fully standardised solution with a 24/7 hotline, a large subscription product is a better choice.
| Bonn agency (classic) | Subscription vendor (national) | Krafteq (Leverkusen) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model | Custom development, often hourly or daily rate | Standard SaaS with monthly subscription | Fixed price first version + optional managed hosting |
| Pricing | Often EUR 20,000–80,000 per project | EUR 150–300 / month — over 5 years EUR 9,000–18,000 | EUR 1,000–2,000 fixed price + 4 x EUR 250 hosting per software |
| Personal contact | Yes, depth depends on agency size | Call centre, chat, ticket system | Direct point of contact in Leverkusen, on site possible |
| Code ownership | Variable — often unclear contractually | Vendor owns the code, you rent access | Source code in your repository from sprint 1 |
| Vendor lock-in | Medium — bespoke code without portable standards | High — data migration painful and costly | None — standard containers, portable any time |
| Time to first version | Typically 3–9 months | Instantly available, but inflexible | First version in under 4 weeks |
| GDPR / hosting | Variable, often without clear data residency | Often on US hyperscalers, DPA in place | Hosting in Germany, DPA included |
