Why custom software needs good planning
Custom software pays off when standard solutions reach their limits. Before development starts, however, the right questions need answers: which requirements really matter? Which architecture and which technology fit? What will operation cost over the years? In software consulting we make these strategic decisions together with you and draw up a plan that holds.
What software consulting gives you
- Requirements are prioritised before the budget goes into development.
- Architecture and technology suit your goals and your team.
- Feasibility and risks are clarified early, with a prototype if you wish.
- You receive a project plan with milestones and a budget framework.
Scope of services
What our software consulting covers
- Requirements
What the software must do and what can wait.
- Architecture
Plan structure, data model and operation properly.
- Technology choice
The right framework for goal, team and budget.
- Interfaces
Which systems are connected and how.
- Feasibility
Check risks early, with a prototype if you wish.
- Project plan
Milestones and budget framework for implementation.
In software consulting we plan your custom software before development begins. We clarify requirements, choose architecture and technology and check what is feasible. The result is a plan on which you can base a confident decision.
class SyncStock implements ShouldQueue
{
public function handle(Erp $erp, Shop $shop): void
{
foreach ($erp->changedProducts() as $product) {
$shop->setStock($product->number, $product->stock);
}
}
}The right decisions first
Which features does the launch need, and which can wait? What does the data model look like, and which systems have to be connected? We work out these answers together with you and record them in a concept.
- ERP
- Customer portal
- Accounting
- API
Check feasibility early
Where an approach is uncertain, we test it early. With AI prototyping a first working version is created directly on the target framework, on which you can test your ideas.
From planning to implementation
If you wish, we implement the solution directly, for example as a Laravel application or as a web app and portal. Small and medium-sized companies in Germany may be eligible for funding for the consulting. What applies is explained on our page about BAFA consulting funding.
How software consulting works
- Conversation and goals
We clarify where you stand, what you want to achieve and which decisions are pending.
- Requirements and architecture
We prioritise features and design the structure, data model and interfaces.
- Feasibility and plan
We check critical points early, with a prototype if you wish, and draw up the project plan.
- Decision and implementation
You decide on a clear basis. If you wish, we implement the solution directly with you.

Frequently asked questions about software consulting
All questions and answersWhat does software consulting cost?
That depends on the scope: a single workshop, an analysis with a concept or ongoing support. After the first conversation you receive a quote with a clearly defined scope.
Which technologies do you work with?
For web applications we mainly rely on Laravel, for fast websites on Astro. Which technology fits is decided during consulting, with a view to the goal, operation and your team.
How do you check feasibility?
We build critical parts early as a prototype, such as an interface or a calculation. That way you can see whether the approach holds up before the entire budget is committed.
- Laravel development
Web applications built with the PHP framework Laravel, from internal admin tools to platforms for your customers, including hosting and further development.
- Web apps & portals
Customer portals, dealer and partner portals and internal tools that run in the browser and access your existing systems.
- Configurators
Product configurators with which customers put together dimensions, material and accessories themselves, see the price and order or send an enquiry.
- APIs & middleware
REST APIs for your own applications and middleware between shop, ERP, PIM and marketplaces that translates formats, transfers only changes and logs every run.
