Custom Software Development with AI

    Custom Software Development

    Goal:Develop custom applications

    Fixed security standards, targeted code reviews and automated tests safeguard quality, so you put new applications into use faster and more flexibly.

    At a glance

    What
    Custom business applications and portals are developed with AI support, reviewed and connected to your existing systems.
    For whom
    Mid-sized companies that want to put their business ideas into use faster.
    Outcome
    An application with agreed interfaces, reviewed code, automated tests and documented architecture, connected to your systems.
    Getting started
    Initial consultation, then requirements analysis

    Speed becomes a competitive advantage when the software works reliably day to day.

    You want to introduce a business application for service, a customer portal or a tool for your field staff. Building it ties up capacity that your day-to-day business needs. That is why we combine AI support with the experience of human developers.

    What we stand for

    We are convinced that companies should be able to turn their business ideas into productive applications sooner. The time saved becomes valuable when the software performs the tasks required, fits into existing processes and works reliably day to day.

    Typical starting point

    You want to introduce a business application for service, a customer portal or a tool for your field staff. But building it ties up capacity that your day-to-day business needs. At the same time, the new application and your existing systems have to complement each other reliably.

    Architecture

    How AI and developers work together

    We define architecture, access rights and data protection at the outset, so security and data protection are part of your application from the start.

    Requirements and acceptance

    We clarify requirements, priorities and acceptance criteria.

    Example: a business application for field service

    Task
    Record service reports on site
    Priority
    First version: report and spare parts
    Acceptance
    Report fully completed on site

    Outcome

    What you receive

    You receive a custom business application, a portal or an interface on top of your existing systems, with agreed interfaces, reviewed code, automated tests and documented architecture. We explain the way of working to your team and support rollout, enablement and operation to the agreed extent.

    • Custom business application, portal or interface on top of your existing systems
    • Agreed interfaces
    • Reviewed code
    • Automated tests
    • Documented architecture
    • Rollout, enablement and operation to the agreed extent

    Building blocks

    Building blocks for your project

    AI-Assisted Web Development

    Websites, shops and portals with user journeys tailored to your customers, designed interfaces and the necessary system integrations. Your customers experience online what sets your company apart, because user journeys, interfaces and system integration are created together.

    We clarify requirements, priorities and acceptance criteria with you. Building on this, we design user journeys and interfaces and plan architecture, security, data protection and system integrations.

    Company OS (target vision)

    Company OS (a company's operating system: one sign-in, one rights model, one data foundation) describes our target vision for how your most important systems, such as ERP, CRM, project management and invoicing, work together on a shared data foundation. Your system landscape therefore grows step by step according to your priorities.

    Company OS describes the direction. It is implemented step by step with the core modules, in the order of your priorities.

    Customers, Quotes and Orders

    Customer information, quotes and orders are connected for everyday sales work, aligned with your quoting rules.

    You receive a module for customer records, contacts, tasks, follow-ups, quotes and orders, with agreed adjustments and system integrations.

    Operational Steering

    Connected operational information makes deviations visible and supports the steering of day-to-day business.

    You receive overviews and analyses for agreed processes, with documented metrics and detail views down to the individual transaction. The functions are integrated into your application and given the required access rights.

    AI-Assisted Employee Training (development concept, lab pilot)

    Development concept: AI-assisted training based on company-specific tasks and feedback. It is currently in development; a clearly scoped pilot is planned.

    Frequently asked questions

    An objection we often hear

    „AI-generated code is insecure.“
    It can contain errors. That is why our developers review the code, and automated tests safeguard changes. Rights and data protection are built into the architecture.
    Is AI-generated code secure?

    Every change goes through a code review by experienced developers and automated tests before it is accepted. Rights and data protection are built into the architecture.

    Can our own team do this with an AI tool?

    We add development infrastructure, proven building blocks and experienced developers to your team's capacity. Architecture, code review and tests make the work traceable.

    What is AI-assisted software development?

    AI supports the implementation, experienced developers steer architecture and quality. Automated tests safeguard every change.

    What do we receive?

    An application with agreed interfaces, reviewed code, automated tests and documented architecture, connected to your systems.

    What is Company OS?

    Company OS is our target vision for how your existing systems work together on a shared data foundation. We implement it step by step in custom software development projects.

    Getting started

    Which application should move your company forward next, and which functions do you need for its first productive use?

    In the free initial consultation, we clarify the functions for the first productive use and prepare the requirements analysis. Scope and fixed price are therefore set on a clarified basis.
