Custom SaaS

Your process. As a product.

A product for the one process that eats your time every day: with logins, roles, history and an export. Not a stopgap.

01

When this is worth it

  • The process is the business

    What sets you apart lives in a file nobody else understands. Standard software can't do it, because almost nobody else works this way.

  • Several people, one truth

    The moment two people maintain the same sheet, you need permissions, a current state and a history. That is exactly where a spreadsheet stops.

  • It has to be provable

    Audits, grants, liability: when someone later asks who changed what and when, a folder full of PDFs is not an answer.

How we work together

Three steps, each commissioned on its own. After every one you can stop and keep what has been produced so far.

Before any of them comes the sketch: describe your process in one sentence, free and without signing up.Create a sketch

  1. Concept sprint

    A fixed time box with a result you can click through.

    We take your core workflow apart and put it back together as a clickable prototype. Afterwards you know what the product looks like, what it has to do and what building it costs.

    • Clickable prototype of the core workflow
    • Data model, roles and permissions
    • Deliberately left out: what does not belong in version one
    • A binding fixed-price quote for the MVP

  2. MVP

    Fixed scope, fixed price: one core workflow that actually runs.

    We build exactly what the prototype shows – usable, not a demo. Code and rights go to you.

    • One core workflow, end to end
    • Code and usage rights transfer to you
    • Handover with source, migrations and setup instructions
    • No scope that grows along the way

  3. Operations & further development

    Cancel monthly, for as long as it serves you.

    We host in Germany or the EU and keep the system current. Further development as a block of hours or as fixed monthly capacity with fixed release dates.

    • Hosting in Germany or the EU
    • Updates, backups, monitoring, fixed response times
    • A block of hours for small changes or fixed capacity for building it out
    • Monthly cancellation; data and code stay yours
    Talk about operations

Already have software? We build clearly scoped extensions at a fixed price as well. Operations and maintenance we take on for systems we built.

If your process turns into a product others need as well, we're happy to talk about licensing or a shared stake. That isn't something to decide up front.

03

What we don't do

  • No shops, no newsletters.
  • No maintenance of other people's systems that we didn't build.
  • No consulting without building. We deliver software, not slide decks.
  • No scope that grows mid-build. New ideas go into the next version, not the current one.
  • No work without someone on your side who knows the process and may decide.
  • No prices out of thin air. Without a concept sprint or a clearly defined scope, we don't estimate.

04

The questions that come up here

Why should we trust you without references?

Not on our word. We show no client projects here – only products we built ourselves and run ourselves: FuE Stundenzettel, Castfold and Klickdemo are live in public, with their prices, a free way in and everything that can go wrong with them. And this site, sketch included, we built too. You can check all of it before you ever speak to us. This is how we build our own products; we'd build yours the same way.

Do we get a fixed price?

For the concept sprint, yes: it is a fixed package. For the build, only afterwards. A fixed price quoted before the concept exists is either guessed or padded, and you pay for the padding. After the sprint the scope is written down and the estimate is binding.

Who owns the code?

You do. On payment for the MVP, the source and the usage rights transfer to you, including database migrations and setup instructions. Third-party libraries keep their own open-source licences.

Can we stop after the concept sprint?

Yes, and that is not a special case. The prototype, the data model and the estimate are yours. Use them to run a tender, build it yourself, or drop the idea. A clean stop is better for us than a project nobody wants any more.

Where does it run in the end?

In Germany or the EU, at your own provider if you prefer. If we operate it, moving it to you stays possible at any time: ordinary technology, documented, with no mechanism that holds you in place.

How fast is this?

Faster than a route through specification documents and tendering, because we start with one core workflow instead of the full build. We'll name a figure once we've seen your process. Before that, it would be invented.

Tell us about the process.

One sentence is enough to start. We usually reply within 1–2 working days – with questions, not an off-the-shelf quote.
