Custom Applications

Individual applications with an excellent digital experience

The successful design and development of individual digital business applications is one - if not the - core competence of ours.

This competence is based on the combination of a user-centred approach, profound technology and development expertise and high quality in terms of design and user experience (UX). All of these strengths pay off in a common goal: to create an excellent customer experience, regardless of whether the focus is on consumer needs, customer satisfaction or employee experience. 

The digital application must provide everything necessary to achieve the set business goals. This requires not only the right technology, functions and content, but also a high acceptance of the application by the users. User-friendliness (UX) is essential for this.  Only when everything fits together do you achieve the best possible effect across all touchpoints.

Proven process model in application development

The combination of user-centred design, agile development and early prototyping has proven successful in many of our projects:

UX
User Centered Design

A customised application must do exactly what the users need, it must be useful to them. We ensure this with a user-centred approach.

Agile Methods
Agile Methods

Agile methods in development such as Scrum or Kanban enable a process that increases transparency and speed and leads to a faster deployment of the developed system.

Prototyping
Minimum Viable Product

An early prototype, such as a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) as the first functional version of a digital application, enables quick user feedback and thus avoids undesirable developments.

 

Proven components and current JavaScript frameworks for state-of-the-art web applications

The use of open source and licence-free software components has been tried and tested for many years, integrative API-driven and headless approaches are becoming more and more common in modern software architectures:

Open Source
Open Source

In terms of functionality, performance and security, open source solutions have long proven to be an attractive alternative to commercial systems. For many years, we have preferred to realise our long-lasting and thus also investment-safe applications on the basis of open source components.

API-driven
API-Driven

In an API-driven architecture, all components connected to the API are modular, exist by themselves and communicate through the API. The modular nature of the application makes it easier to test and maintain. In particular, other existing IT systems (ERP, CRM, HR & Co.) can be easily connected via API.

Progressive Web App
Progressive Web App

By Progressive Web Apps (PWA) we mean a collection of technologies, possibilities and features for future web applications that eliminate the separation of website, mobile version and app. They are essentially based on HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.
