Overloaded spreadsheets, duplicate data entry, off-the-shelf software that constrains how your teams work: when the tool no longer keeps up with the business, the business slows down. We design, build and maintain internal applications, portals and SaaS platforms shaped around your processes and your data, connected to your information system through APIs. For companies in Paris and Île-de-France, from scoping to ongoing operations.
Files shared by email, competing versions, formulas that nobody understands any more: the authoritative version of the data no longer exists. Every decision rests on figures that have to be double-checked, and knowledge of the process lives in a few people's heads. An application centralises data entry, applies your business rules and records who changed what.
02
Off-the-shelf software that imposes its own logic
The market product covers the essentials, but everything else is handled through exports, duplicate entry and workarounds. Your teams end up adapting the way they work to the tool, instead of the other way round. Custom development starts from your actual processes and builds only what is genuinely useful.
03
Tools that do not talk to each other
Quotes in one tool, invoicing in another, production tracking in a third: the same information is re-keyed several times, with the discrepancies and errors that follow. API integrations move data between systems automatically and make reporting reliable.
What we cover
The scope of the service.
01 / INTERNAL APPLICATIONS
Internal applications and business tools
Applications designed with your teams to support your processes: activity tracking, planning, stock or production management.
Design workshops with your users
Interfaces suited to how people work: desktop, on the move, shop floor
Role and access-rights management
Overhaul of ageing existing applications
Automated tests to make enhancements reliable
02 / PORTALS & SAAS
Portals and SaaS platforms
Secure spaces for your clients, suppliers or partners, and multi-company SaaS platforms when your offering calls for it.
Secure authentication, including through Microsoft 365 and Entra ID
Built-in dashboards and reporting
Account and subscription management
03 / API & INTEGRATIONS
Integrations and data flows
Your application slots into the existing information system instead of adding another silo: data flows automatically between tools.
API connections to your software: ERP, CRM, accounting
Microsoft 365 integration: SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive
Automated flows between applications with n8n
Takeover and migration of existing data
Documentation of interfaces and exchange formats
04 / OPERATIONS
Hosting, maintenance and enhancements
A business application lives over the long term: we handle its operations, its security and its enhancements, within the scope defined in your contract.
Go-live and managed hosting
Monitoring and tracked backups
Security patches and dependency updates
Functional enhancements planned in batches
Technical and functional documentation kept up to date
How we proceed
From scoping to follow-up.
The exact scope, deliverables and timelines are formalised in the proposal, before any commitment.
1
Business scoping
Workshops with users and management: actual processes, the data handled, pain points, volumes. The scoping phase defines a first useful scope and makes an honest comparison between custom development and off-the-shelf solutions.
2
Design and prototypes
Mock-ups and interactive prototypes validated with future users before any code is written: usability trade-offs are settled on screen, not after delivery.
3
Development in batches
Short iterations, code that is tested and reviewed, regular demonstrations: you see the application progress and adjust priorities along the way.
4
Acceptance testing and go-live
Testing with your teams on real cases, data takeover, user training, then a prepared cutover with a rollback plan.
5
Operations and enhancements
Monitoring, fixes, tracked backups and an enhancement backlog prioritised at regular review meetings: the application keeps pace with your business instead of freezing it in place.
Frequently asked questions — custom software
The answers describe how the service works. Quantified commitments are formalised in your contract.
Standard software remains the right choice when your processes are themselves standard: payroll, accounting, email. Custom development is justified when the process is what sets you apart, when your data does not fit the tool's boxes, or when workarounds and duplicate entry cost more than the development would. The initial scoping compares both options — and may conclude that an existing product is enough.
The functional scope, the number of user profiles, integrations with your existing tools, data takeover, security and hosting requirements, and then maintenance over time. That is why we quote after a scoping phase, often by carving out a first batch that delivers value quickly. The budget and how it is broken down are formalised in the specific terms of your contract.
That depends on the scope of the first batch, the integrations to build and your teams' availability for workshops and acceptance testing. Developing in batches means a first useful scope can go into service without waiting for the full requirement to be covered. The timeline and milestones are defined during scoping and formalised in your contract.
Yes, after an audit of the code, documentation, dependencies and hosting. Depending on what the audit finds, the takeover starts with stabilisation followed by enhancements, or with a progressive rebuild when technical debt makes every change risky. Takeover conditions are assessed case by case during the audit.
When your software exposes an API, the data exchange is developed and documented; that is the case for most recent tools, including Microsoft 365. When no API exists, other mechanisms are considered: scheduled exports, exchange files, automations with n8n. Integration feasibility is verified during scoping, with no promise of universal compatibility.
Rights to the code, the documentation and the data are defined in your contract, which also sets out the hand-back and reversibility arrangements: delivery of the source code and documentation, export of your data in a usable format, transfer of hosting. You are not locked in: the exit from the contract is organised from the day it is signed.
The application is designed to fit within the applicable obligations: minimisation of the data collected, management of retention periods, informing data subjects, traceability of access. These choices are documented from the design stage. The legal qualification of your processing activities remains to be validated with your counsel or your data protection officer.
The application enters its operations phase: monitoring, security patches, dependency updates and defect handling, within the scope defined in your maintenance contract. Functional enhancements are prioritised at regular review meetings. The split of responsibilities between your company, the hosting provider and our teams is also formalised there.
