Developed in dialogue. For more than 30 years.
We are a small, experienced development team in Cologne. Instead of size we offer proximity: you talk directly to the people who build your software.
Personal instead of anonymous.
schoettler Software has stood for interfaces, middleware, custom software and apps for more than three decades. In that time we have delivered projects for mid-sized businesses and for large corporations alike – in industry, in logistics and in the public sector. We are happy to name relevant references on request.
Today we deliberately work as a compact, well-attuned team: a fixed core, complemented by a dependable network of experienced developers whom we bring in directly when a project calls for it. That has its advantages: short paths, clear responsibility and a direct line between you and the people building your software. We take on the projects that suit us – and then give them our full attention.
That we also develop and maintain our own product, CalcTape, keeps us close to what makes software good over the years: dependability, maintainability and a feel for the people who work with it.
You talk directly to the people who develop your software – that avoids detours and produces solutions that genuinely fit.

Managing Director and developer
What matters to us in our work.
We meet your requirements
We get to grips with your subject matter and your processes, find a common language and develop workable solutions together with you.
We work on time and on budget
Dependable scheduling and cost planning, realistic estimates. With us, a deadline is a deadline.
We develop collaboratively
In close dialogue with you – that is how solutions come about that really fit, instead of missing the mark.
We build for the people using it
Software people are happy to work with: considered in the detail and clear to operate.
We are a good team
Experienced, well attuned to each other and genuinely enjoying the work – you notice it in every project.
Focus instead of volume
We concentrate on selected projects we can do really well – rather than on as many as possible. For very large project teams we are deliberately not the right address.
Let us get to know each other.
Tell us about your project, with no obligation – we reply personally, usually within one working day.
