Software/ chapter · Software

Software that holds up for years.

Internal tools, web apps and platforms built around your process, by people who dream up their own products and build them. At the end the software is yours, and whoever wrote it stays to keep it running.

/ Philosophy

How we choose, and why.

The right tech for the problem

We choose from what you need to do and who will maintain it. Not from what we're best at reselling.

No decisions handed down

We explain every choice in plain words, then you decide. And you can take the work elsewhere whenever you like.

A product, not a fee

We don't live off subscriptions that keep you hooked. We build it and hand it over: yours in writing, repository and credentials included.

/ Your situation

What it has to do, and who will maintain it.

Let's talk A call, on us. You leave knowing what's worth doing, and what isn't.

You need something that doesn't ask for your attention.You need an answer, not a system.You need a graft, not a new building site.

For your project, not for our price list. Which one, we work out by talking.
/ What we work with

We talk to the software you already run.

A system that talks to nothing turns into a second job of copying and pasting. We connect it to what you use every day, and if the connection stops it tells you. Where the data is there but unreadable, we put it on a dashboard.

  • Power BI
  • Algolia

We are not resellers or certified partners of any of these: the licences stay yours.

And if you need someone to decide first?

If what's missing is someone to decide, what comes first and on what technology, that's a separate service.

/ Frequently asked questions

The questions people ask.

How much does custom software development cost?

There is no price list: it depends on what the software has to do, who will use it and how many systems it has to touch. We give you a written quote after the first call, which is free, and it says what is included and what is not.

How long does building a custom business system take?

It depends on what you need, and we put it in writing after the first call. What weighs is the decisions to make and the old data to move across, more than the code.

Where are you, and which areas do you work in?

We are in Città di Castello, in the province of Perugia, in the upper Tiber Valley. We work face to face with companies across the Umbrian and Tuscan Valtiberina, Sansepolcro, San Giustino, Umbertide, Anghiari, and the provinces of Perugia and Arezzo. Everywhere else we work remotely, and an in-person meeting gets arranged when it matters.

Who runs the project? Do I always talk to the same person?

Yes. Whoever answers your first call is whoever writes the code, and whoever answers when something breaks. There is no salesperson who closes you and a team that inherits the project without ever hearing your voice.

You have products of your own: is there time left for my project?

Yes, and it is the same craft. Our products start from an idea of ours and we develop them end to end: interfaces, recurring payments, app-store releases. They are where we try ideas out before taking them to a client. If there were no room for your project, we would tell you on the first call.

Do I own the source code?

Yes, in writing. At the end you get the full repository, the documentation and the credentials for every service. If one day you want to take it elsewhere you can, without asking us, and we walk whoever takes over through it.

Are there compulsory monthly fees?

No, we do not sell subscriptions whose job is to keep you attached. If you want a maintenance agreement we will write one, but it is your choice and it can end. What remains are the third-party services the product uses, like hosting and the domain, and those are in your name.

What happens after launch? Do you do maintenance and support?

Yes, and we care about it, because that is where software lives. You can take a block of hours or call when you need to. Either way the person who answers is the one who wrote the code, not a ticket touring the departments.

What kind of software do you build?

Custom business systems and web apps, dashboards and reports, platforms, websites and e-commerce, mobile apps and AI integrations. We also do the creative side: naming, logo, visual identity and interface design.

Do you build dashboards and reports? With which tools?

Yes. We work with Power BI and Tableau: we connect the sources, build the data model and the measures, and design the reports for the people who actually read them. If the dashboard belongs inside the software you use every day, we build it there.

Search on my site finds nothing. Can it be fixed?

Yes, and it loses more orders than people think. We work with Algolia: an index built on your catalogue, results as you type, typos forgiven, synonyms from your industry, filters and ranking you decide. On small catalogues far less is often enough, and we say so.

Do you build iPhone and Android apps?

Yes, native with Swift and Kotlin when the app has to use the phone, or as an installable web app when that is enough. We make that call together after working out what the app is for, because it is the decision that moves the cost most.

What technologies do you use?

We choose from the problem and from who will have to maintain it, not from what we resell best. In our projects it is mostly Angular and TypeScript for the part you see, PHP with Slim or Node with NestJS for the part behind it, PostgreSQL and MySQL for data, Swift and Kotlin for phone apps.

We are here after the handover too

Tell us what's on your mind.

First call free. You leave knowing what's worth doing, and what isn't.
