Target AudiencesCompanies that need software — but no IT team

Do you recognize yourself here? Then you are in the right place.

Excel, emails, and isolated solutions

You work with Excel, emails, and isolated solutions — losing hours, data, and patience in the process. Your processes are too complex for off-the-shelf software, yet custom software development seemed unaffordable until now. Business process automation and SME digitalization start with the right software.

Legacy system on an aging server

You run a legacy system on an aging server — and a single admin keeps everything running. If that person is unavailable, your business grinds to a halt.

Running product, no development team

You have a running software product — but no in-house development team to evolve it. The IT talent shortage makes recruiting a test of patience. That is why many SMEs choose team augmentation or a dedicated development team instead of spending months trying to hire developers.

Leveraging AI potential

You want to leverage AI potential — but do not know where to start. Without a clear strategy, AI remains a buzzword instead of a tool.

Predictability and fixed pricing

You need predictability — fixed prices, clear milestones, direct communication. Not an open-ended consulting engagement, but results.

Krafteq understands SME digitalization. We deliver custom software development that fits — pragmatic, operations-ready, and sustainable long-term.

Our ServicesOur services for mid-market companies

Each service can be booked independently. Together, they form an end-to-end offering for custom software development — from new development to modernization to ongoing support. This way, you can start exactly where the greatest leverage lies.

Custom Business Software

Custom business software — from idea to production-ready solution in 4 to 8 weeks. We digitize your business processes — whether order management, customer administration, or internal workflows. SME software solutions at a fixed price, thanks to AI-powered development at a fraction of traditional costs.

Prototype and hosting delivered on schedule — from first requirement to working system in 6 weeks.

Legacy-to-Cloud Package

Is your old system holding you back? We migrate your on-premise software to the cloud in a structured way — step by step, without business interruption. Better reliability, predictable costs, and less operational overhead are the result.

Mid-market company: Legacy ERP migrated to the cloud — operating costs reduced by 40%, availability increased from 95% to 99.9%.

Managed Squad over 18 months: continuous feature delivery, stable velocity, no staff turnover needed.

AI Automation & Hyperautomation

Free Initial Consultation & Potential Analysis

ChallengesChallenges we solve

You are not alone. These problems slow down SME digitalization time and again — and we have proven solutions for them.

Manual processes and spreadsheet chaos

73% of small businesses rely on manual processes that could be automated. Customer data in Excel, orders via email, invoices in a third system. AI-powered software development makes business process automation and custom software for small businesses affordable for the first time.

IT talent shortage — no team, no progress

109,000 unfilled IT positions in Germany. Average time-to-hire: 7.7 months. For mid-market companies, this means: projects stagnate, innovation is left on the table. Krafteq delivers experienced engineers in 14 days.

Technical debt and legacy systems

75% of IT budgets go toward maintaining old systems. Technical debt grows, modernization becomes more expensive, and legacy blocks every AI initiative. Our Legacy-to-Cloud Package creates the foundation — structured, predictable, and with a clear outcome.

Digital sovereignty — your data stays in Germany

91% of German companies consider digital sovereignty strategically important. The US CLOUD Act allows US authorities to access data from US companies. Krafteq uses EU-only infrastructure: Hetzner, OVHcloud, Azure EU. GDPR-compliant by design.
