For trades and small business in Leverkusen

We build for owners and master craftspeople with 1–20 employees — from trades businesses to medical practices, from salons to small retailers. Across Leverkusen — from Wiesdorf to Opladen — there are many businesses whose workflows do not fit a standard SaaS product. That is exactly where our work begins.

Plumbing, heating, climate (SHK) businesses

Maintenance contracts, asset records, GAEB and DATANORM interfaces, mobile field app. Standard SaaS often delivers these only as paid add-ons. We deliver them within the fixed price.

Electrical contractors and plant builders

Project costing, material requirements, e-invoicing, test logs, handover documentation. Often based in Manfort, Bürrig, and Steinbüchel — where industrial customers around the Chempark demand specific workflows.

Painters, joiners, roofers

Take-off, quoting, materials, photo documentation, maintenance and repair. From the family business in Schlebusch to the construction GmbH in Hitdorf — the building blocks are proven, the tailoring happens in the prototype.

Practices, law firms, salons

Not trades, but the same size and similar problems: appointments, customer files, invoices, GDPR. We also build for medical practices, tax advisors, hairdressing and beauty salons in Leverkusen — the productised stack fits, the funnel is different.

Small retailers and online shops

Stock, inventory, point of sale, shipping, accounting integration. If you have outgrown a standard platform or your workflows do not fit the standard — custom software is often cheaper than years of add-on subscriptions.

Service providers with field operations

Cleaning companies, security and facility services, gardening and landscaping (GaLaBau). Mobile app, route planning, time tracking, job documentation — typical building blocks, quickly assembled into a solution for your Leverkusen business.
