Managing Director and developer

Straight to the developers

No sales layer: you talk to the specialists who do the work. That saves time and misunderstandings.

More than 30 years of experience

Know-how built up in integration, back-end and mobile solutions – across many industries and up to date with current technology.

On time and on budget

Dependable planning and clear responsibility. We keep what we promise.

Focus instead of volume

A small core team with an established network of experienced specialists, concentrating on selected projects – with our full attention.

Built to be used

Software people are happy to work with: considered in the detail, clear to operate.

Experience as a product owner

With CalcTape we run a product of our own – we know what keeps software maintainable over the long term.

Trust

Three decades on, with many long-standing client relationships.

For more than 30 years we have delivered projects for companies from mid-sized businesses to large corporations – in industry and mechanical engineering, in logistics and retail, and in the public sector and for associations.

Trust is built on dependability: many companies have worked with us for years. We are happy to name relevant references on request – specific to your industry or your task.

Our own product

CalcTape – arithmetic you can retrace.

With CalcTape we develop and maintain software of our own: a calculator that replaces mental arithmetic and scribbled notes on screen, used every day around the world. Having our own product keeps us close to what makes software good – quality your projects benefit from too.
