LocationCustom software development in Düsseldorf

No — and we say so plainly: Krafteq is based in Leverkusen, around 25 kilometres south of central Düsseldorf, roughly 30 minutes via A59, A57 or A52. For Düsseldorf clients that is in practice as fast as a vendor in Pempelfort or Bilk — and we bring the engineering standards we apply to enterprise clients in industry and manufacturing. On-site meetings in Düsseldorf are routine.

The usual path: you send us a request through the form, we call back within 24 hours. Initial meeting (30–60 minutes) either on site in Düsseldorf, with us in Leverkusen, or by video — whatever you prefer. We then build a free prototype in 5 business days, walk through it together and give you the binding fixed price. Only then do you decide.

Yes — every Düsseldorf district. We have experience with carpenters and renovation businesses in the period-building districts (Pempelfort, Flingern, Düsseltal), plumbing and electrical contractors in Bilk and Friedrichstadt, and roofers and façade specialists in left-bank Oberkassel. Carlstadt, Stadtmitte, Lierenfeld, Gerresheim and Eller are also covered without surcharge — the drive time barely changes.

The prototype is free. The productive first version is between €1,000 and €2,000 as a fixed price — depending on scope, binding after the prototype walk-through. Hosting on Krafteq Cloud is €250 per year per software (first year included) and covers security patches, daily backups, monitoring, Krafteq support, maintenance and GDPR-compliant operation. Over 5 years total cost lands at €2,000–3,000 — versus €9,000–18,000 for comparable subscription software. Minimum saving of €6,000 for a 10-person business.

Three steps: first, a short request form or a phone call. Second, a 30–60 minute initial meeting on site in Düsseldorf, in Leverkusen, or by video — you describe your business, we listen. Third, a free prototype in 5 business days, a joint walk-through, then a binding fixed price and contract. Delivery of the first version typically in under 4 weeks from contract signing.

Senior engineers at Krafteq, each with at least 10 years of professional experience. You speak directly with the engineer building your software — not with a sales layer in between. The same standards (code review on every change, vulnerability scanning, SBOM, full traceability) we owe enterprise clients flow into Düsseldorf small-business projects too.

You do. Fully — from sprint 1 of paid development you have access to the repository and can self-host the software at any time, or have it hosted by another IT provider. Standard Docker containers, no proprietary API, no vendor lock-in. If Krafteq disappeared tomorrow, your software would keep running on any other server.
