Platforms you work with every day.

We build the software your company works with every day. Business applications, client portals and internal tools: pragmatically scoped, cleanly integrated, maintainable for the long run.

From concept to running the system.

Platform work does not start with a framework. It starts with the question of who will work with the system in future. We address these four building blocks, on their own or together.

Custom software & business applications

Software that does exactly what your business needs, not what a standard product allows.

Where standard solutions abstract too much or are too rigid, we build applications that follow your processes instead of re-educating them. Test-driven, documented, and with a clear path to handing them over to your operations.

  • Requirements workshops with the business instead of specification ping-pong
  • Iterative delivery every two to three weeks
  • Automated tests and an automated release pipeline from day one
  • An architecture that scales as you grow

Client & customer portals

Your customers, clients or partners serve themselves instead of calling your hotline.

Portals that digitise relationships: exchanging documents, maintaining master data, self-service workflows. With clear permissions, proper separation between clients, and an interface your users will actually use.

  • Single sign-on and a fine-grained permissions model
  • Separation between clients at both data and interface level
  • Accessible, designed for mobile first, in your corporate design
  • Audit trails and logging that meet data protection law

Internal tools

The tools your teams use every day, and that genuinely fit.

Instead of spreadsheet templates and manual handovers, we build focused internal tools. Compact, quick to use, connected to your system landscape. One tool per task, not one generic tool for everything.

  • Lean interfaces for clearly defined tasks
  • Direct connection to ERP, CRM and industry software
  • Roles and separation between clients built in
  • Handover to your operations, without locking you to us

System integration

Your systems talk to each other instead of existing side by side.

We connect ERP, CRM, industry software and cloud services with interfaces that hold. Properly monitored, safe to repeat, with fallbacks for when a system stalls. An end to overnight import jobs nobody understands any more.

  • Interfaces based on requests or on events, as the case requires
  • Monitoring of response times, errors and data volume
  • Repeatability without duplicates as a basic principle
  • Clean versioning and backward compatibility
Developers at the savvytec office in Paderborn

There are people behind this who know your platform.

Platforms outlive buzzwords. With us the same team looks after your application from the first wireframe to the fifth wave of releases. Permanently employed in Paderborn, with names and direct lines instead of ticket numbers.

Common questions.

What decision makers want to know before the first conversation. What we get asked again and again.

When is custom software worth it compared to a standard product?

As soon as a process touches your core business and no standard product covers it precisely, building your own is the more economical route. As long as standard solutions with small adjustments are enough, we actively advise against custom code. We give you both options, honestly assessed.

What happens to our existing systems?

We integrate rather than replace. ERP, CRM and industry applications stay what they are. Our platforms connect to them, read, write and enrich, without pushing out what is already there. Where a migration makes sense, we plan it in steps you can follow.

Can we develop the software further ourselves later?

Yes. We deliver readable code, complete documentation and handover workshops. You can bring in your own developers at any time or change supplier.

How quickly is the first usable version ready?

Six to ten weeks to the first version you can use in production is a realistic frame. We deliver in increments of two to three weeks, so you see early what is taking shape and can steer along the way.

How do you protect the platform against attacks?

Permissions, encryption, audit trails and automated security scans belong on the drawing board with us. We are TISAX certified and follow the established standards for web application security. Penetration tests we run together with the people you appoint.

Who runs the platform after go-live?

Either we do, or your IT, or a third party. We build so that each of those options works, and hand over cleanly. Application management and operations under a service agreement are part of our portfolio, but not an obligation.

Let us plan your next platform.

One conversation is enough to see whether we are the right partner. Honest, without a sales performance, with a concrete assessment of your next sensible step.
