From our work
We build the system around how your company actually works, not the other way around. We start with the one thing that costs you the most time today, and you have it running before anything is decided about the rest.

I want a custom system →When off-the-shelf stops being enough
Off-the-shelf software isn't bad. It just doesn't know the things your company does differently from everyone else, and those things have to happen somewhere off to the side. You are not alone in this: according to Eurostat data, in 2025 only 20.4 % of Slovak companies with 10 to 49 employees had an ERP system, while the EU average was 41.1 %. Below is a list we see at almost every small company. The more of it you recognize, the more it is already costing you today.
A spreadsheet of discounts for regular customers, because the system only knows one price.
ExcelA notebook by the phone where someone writes down what each customer asked for on top.
PaperA group chat with the workshop for sending over what actually needs to be made.
WhatsAppA folder of scanned delivery notes that one person searches through.
DriveA calendar of installation dates that has nothing to do with the system.
CalendarComplaints handled in an inbox, with no overview of how many there are.
EmailA margin calculation the owner redoes by hand every month.
ExcelProcedures known only to the colleague who has been with the company longest.
In someone's headThis isn't a list of failures, it's a list of workarounds. They came about because the company kept working and the software got in the way.
You pay for off-the-shelf software once. You pay for the eight workarounds around it every month, it just never shows up anywhere.
Custom development means those workarounds become part of the system. What comes out of it depends on where the pressure is greatest. CRM systems handle sales and make sure no lead gets lost. ERP systems hold production, inventory and invoicing together. Internal tools cover one specific area when there is no need to replace the whole system. Client portals give the customer their own access to orders, invoices and documents, so they stop calling. Dashboards & reporting save the owner from piecing numbers together out of three spreadsheets. API & integrations make sure all of it exchanges data with what you already have. We don't start with the whole system, we start with the most expensive workaround. The technologies we build on are common web standards described in the MDN documentation, not a platform of our own.
How it looks
This is a mockup, not a finished app. It shows what happens to that list of jobs once it stops living in a spreadsheet. In your company, the columns and the statuses get named after the way you work.

What it costs
There is only one way to ruin custom development: build everything at once. That is why it starts with the most expensive problem you handle by hand today, and the rest is added only once the first part is running in production. The first part is usually done within six to ten weeks, depending on how many systems it has to connect to.
A sample system, broken into parts
The split is only an example. In your company the parts get named after whatever costs you the most time.
Step 01
590 €
Design
We'll go through the process the system is meant to take over and write down exactly what goes into the first part and what waits. You get a breakdown and a price. The amount is deducted from the price of the system.
Step 02
from 1 990 €
System
For that amount we build the foundation of the system and the first thing that costs you the most time today. Not the whole system with all its parts, but the one you can start using right away.
once
That's how many times you pay for the foundation of the system
What sets the price: how many steps the process has, how many roles are involved and how many systems it has to connect to. It is always custom work, so nobody can honestly put a list price on “an app”.
Why we don't do it all at once: with a complete system, half the features get paid for before anyone finds out they go unused. This way you can say enough after the first part, and whatever is already running stays with you.
What the total will be: that depends on how many parts you end up wanting, and today not even we can honestly say. What is certain is that the first part is the most expensive, because it contains the foundation, meaning the database, login, users and permissions. That is paid for once. Whatever is added later is built on top of it and priced when it becomes relevant.
You get the exact number after we go through the process the system is meant to take over. If it turns out that automation or connecting the tools you already have is enough, we'll say so. If the problem is more that someone retypes data from documents every day, that belongs to an AI agent. You'll find an overview of all services on the pricing page.
A custom business system & CRM from us means a web application built around your processes: job tracking, invoicing, a client portal, reports and connections to the systems you already use. We don't start with the whole system, we start with the most expensive workaround you handle by hand today. The blueprint costs 590 € and is deducted, the system starts at 1 990 €. Prices are final, we are not VAT registered.
Most of the time you already have one. And that was the right call, off-the-shelf software is cheaper and works from day one. The question is what has piled up around it since.
When a company does the same thing as everyone else, an off-the-shelf solution is enough. The difference shows up in the things you do differently, which are often exactly why your customers stay with you.
So we don't ask which system you use, we ask what it can't do and how you work around that today. That tells us whether custom development is worth it.
We don't start with the whole system. We pick the one area of work that costs the most time and build only that.
You have that first part running before anything is decided about the rest, so you decide by how it works, not by a presentation.
If the savings turn out smaller than we expected, the second part doesn't have to happen. You are not left holding half an unusable app. We wrote up how the return is calculated in an article on measuring ROI.
A fair question for a two-person agency, and we take it seriously, because this is a system your company would run on.
The code is yours, and you get it together with access to the hosting and the database. We build on common technologies, not on a platform of our own, so anyone else can carry on with it.
Handover includes documentation and a description of the data structure. We hold to the same principle with websites.
