Services · Rotterdam, Netherlands

Custom software for a fixed price, on a fixed date.

Two things we sell. Applications built end to end for €20,000, delivered in six months. And consultancy on the systems, tools and processes a business already runs. Both start the same way — with a written specification, agreed before anyone quotes a number.

What we offer

Two build engagements and one advisory one. On the first two the price and the date are fixed against a written specification — and nothing is quoted before that document exists.

Business applications

€20,000

Software for the way your own business runs.

The internal application a business runs on and cannot buy off the shelf: an ordering or scheduling system, a customer portal, a stock or dispatch tool, a piece of the operation currently held together by three spreadsheets and a mailbox. Any application, within a size a small team can specify and actually use. We design it, build it, put it in front of your people, host it if you want us to, and hand over the source code either way.

Any application, web or mobile or both, hosted in the EU
€20,000 fixed, agreed in writing before the first line is written
Six months, counted from the day the specification is signed
You get the running system and the source code, not a licence to it

Commercial applications

€20,000

Software your business sells to its own customers.

A product rather than a tool: something with users who are not your staff, a way of charging them and a public front door. The engagement has the same shape and the same price. The difference is what has to be inside it, because an application that strangers use has to hold up on its own — accounts, payments, privacy law and the app store review process are part of the six months rather than a phase discovered after them. It is the work we do on our own portfolio, done for you.

Web products, Android and iOS apps, or one product that is all three
Accounts, payments and store submission included — not phase two
GDPR handled at design time; we build private-by-default for ourselves
€20,000 fixed, six months from specification sign-off

IT and process consultancy

Per engagement

Work out what is worth fixing before anyone builds anything.

For any business, in any sector, that is not yet sure new software is the answer. We look at the digital and IT infrastructure you already have — what runs where, what it costs, what talks to what, what happens when it stops — and then at the processes on top of it. We map the workflows with the people who actually perform them and work through it together until there is a short list of changes worth making, in the order worth making them. Sometimes the answer is an application. Often it is a licence you can stop paying for, a step you can delete, or two systems that should have been talking to each other for years.

A review of the infrastructure, tools and licences you run today
Workflow mapping done with the people who do the work, not only the people who own it
A ranked list of improvements, each with the effort it takes and what it returns
Yours to keep — nothing in it depends on us being the ones who build it

How the fixed price works

Four steps, in this order. Both the €20,000 and the six months are counted from the end of the second one — the day the specification is signed, not the day we first spoke.

First a conversation, not a quote

A call or two about the business and what the software is supposed to change about it. It costs nothing, and it is a real conversation: if what you need is an off-the-shelf subscription and two hours of configuration, we will tell you that instead of quoting you six months.

Then the written specification

Every screen, every rule, every integration and what "finished" means for each of them, written down and signed by both sides. Usually two to four weeks. This is the step most fixed-price projects skip, and skipping it is why most of them slip.

Then the price and the date

€20,000, and six months from the day that specification is signed — not from the first email. Both are fixed against that document, which is why we do not quote before it exists: a number with no scope behind it is a guess wearing the clothes of a commitment.

Then a build you can open

A working version you can use from early on, updated as it goes, with a written note every two weeks saying what moved and what did not. At the end you get the deployed system, the source code and the keys to everything it runs on.

What the price covers

A fixed price is only fixed if both sides know what sits inside it. Here is the line, in plain language, before you have to ask for it.

In the €20,000

The specification workshops and the specification document itself
Design, development, testing and everything needed to go live
Web and mobile builds inside the agreed scope
App store submission, on your developer accounts or ours
Deployment to EU hosting, and handover of the full source code
Thirty days after launch in which anything that does not match the specification is fixed at no cost

Not in the €20,000

Third-party costs, passed through at what they cost us: hosting, domains, store fees, paid APIs, SMS, payment provider charges
Content — copy, photography, translation — unless the specification says we write it
Work added after sign-off. It is quoted separately and it never quietly moves the date
Ongoing maintenance and support, which is a separate monthly agreement if you want one
VAT, and travel outside the Randstad

Consultancy, in detail

For a business that wants to know what is worth changing before it commits to building anything.

What we look at

The infrastructure first: the servers, services, subscriptions and devices you pay for, where they run, what they cost, who can administer them and what happens on the day one of them stops. Most businesses we talk to are paying for at least one thing nobody has opened in a year, and are one laptop away from losing something they cannot re-create.

Then the processes on top of it. How an order, an invoice, a shift, a case or a customer actually moves through the business end to end — including the steps that live in somebody's inbox, on a shared drive or in a spreadsheet that only one person understands, and appear in no system at all.

How we work through it

On site or on a call, with the people who do the work rather than only the people who own it, because the second group describes the process as designed and the first describes the one that is running.

We map each workflow step by step and mark three things: where the time goes, where the same fact is typed in for a second time, and where the work waits on somebody being at their desk. Then we rank what could be changed by what it costs against what it gives back, and go through that ranking with you rather than handing it over.

What you end up with

A written report you own: what you run now, what it costs, where the friction is, and a prioritised list of improvements with an estimate of effort and of payoff against each one — plus the first thing worth doing on Monday morning.

Where part of the answer is software, we say so and quote it as its own project under the terms above. Where it is not, we say that too. The report is useful to whoever you hand it to, including another supplier.

Who it is for: Any business, any sector
Typical length: 2–6 weeks
Pricing: Per engagement, quoted upfront
Deliverable: Written report and ranked plan
Obligation to build with us: None

Tell us what the business needs to do.

Not what you think it should be built in. Describe the problem in your own words and we will tell you whether it is a six-month application, a two-week consultancy engagement, or something you should not pay anybody to build. A person reads it, and answers within two working days.
