Advise
We check which of our proven platform building blocks — CRM, HR master data, recruiting, communication — fits your process, and what needs to be added individually. That way you avoid a custom build wherever you don't actually need one.
SaaS Development
SaaS platforms,proven, not reinvented.
SaaS platform development means your process runs on an already production-proven platform foundation — for CRM, HR data, recruiting or customer communication, for example — instead of being coded from scratch. That makes the start faster and operation more predictable, without forcing you into a rigid off-the-shelf product.
Who it's for
When a SaaS platformactually pays off.
A SaaS platform pays off when your need resembles a proven pattern rather than being entirely novel. That's usually the case when one of these applies:
- You need CRM, contact or pipeline management that fits your sales process instead of the other way round.
- HR master data and approval workflows still run on spreadsheets instead of a central system.
- Recruiting candidates and communication are scattered across email inboxes instead of a shared pipeline.
- Customer communication over WhatsApp and email should come together in one place, including AI-assisted replies.
The open ledger
Off-the-shelf or platform —compared honestly.
| Off-the-shelf SaaS | SaaS platform base | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry cost | Subscription per user, from day one — the cheapest start. | Entry usually in the low five-figure range — well below a full custom build. |
| Time to live | Usable immediately. | Ready in weeks, not months — the base already runs in production. |
| Process fit | Your processes adapt to the product — limits included. | Proven blocks plus your custom part: adapted exactly where it counts. |
| Evolution & exit | Roadmap and pricing are set by the vendor. | Evolution follows your needs — with fixed contacts instead of a ticket queue. |
A read from project experience. The third option — a full custom build — pays off when no block fits: see custom software development.
How we work01 02 03
Advise, build,operate.
Build
The platform is tailored to your roles, approvals and business logic and delivered step by step, not as a finished package at the end. AI speeds up routine tasks like reply suggestions; the business decisions stay with you and us.
Operate
After go-live we keep operating, monitoring and maintaining the platform — including scaling as usage or data volume grows, with fixed contacts instead of a ticket queue.
What you can rely on
Proven in production,not just in the pitch.
Privacy by architecture
Data protection is designed into contact, master-data and communication modules from the architecture up.
EU AI Act assessed early
Wherever AI is used in recruiting or communication, we classify risk and obligations properly before we build.
EU hosting on request
Operated on AWS infrastructure in Frankfurt when your data shouldn't leave the EU.
No offshore
Development and operation are owned on-site in Hamburg — fixed contacts, not rotating teams.
Frequently asked
SaaS development —answered briefly.
What does a SaaS platform cost?
Entry: low five figures
Because we build on proven platform building blocks, entry costs are usually well below a full custom build — typically in the low five-figure range. For a clearly scoped project we work fixed-price; otherwise time-and-materials with transparent billing. The first step is always a free, no-obligation intro call — after that you know your concrete range.
How long does implementation take?
Faster than a new build
Depends on how much of the existing platform building block fits and how much needs to be added individually. Because we don't start from zero, a SaaS platform is often ready to launch faster than a full custom build. Timing is settled in the proposal, not discovered mid-project.
Can the platform connect to existing systems or replace a legacy one?
Yes — the normal case
Yes. Connecting to existing systems via integration, and stepwise replacement of a legacy solution, are both part of a normal project.
Where is my data hosted?
EU (Frankfurt) available
Fully within the EU on request, on AWS infrastructure in Frankfurt. We agree the hosting location with you upfront.
Do you work with offshore teams?
No
No. Development and accountability sit with our team in Hamburg.
SaaS platform or custom software — which fits better?
It depends
Depends on your requirement. If a proven building block like CRM or recruiting covers your need, a SaaS platform is often faster and cheaper. If you need something entirely your own, custom software is the right choice. More on our custom software page.
