Software development in Dortmund: SaaS, web apps and portals

Dortmund has pushed structural change further than most cities in the Ruhr. Steel and coal became IT, logistics and microtechnology around the technology park. We build web applications for companies with real technical ability that do not want to staff a software department.

FAQ

Questions from Dortmund

Can our service business become a software product?
Often yes, if the core is repeatable. The first step is isolating the part you do identically for every client and building it as a multi-tenant application. What stays bespoke stays a service. In practice one funds the other until the product carries itself.
How are several sites modelled in one application?
Through tenants and roles: shared master data, site-specific views, clearly separated permissions. That decision comes early, because retrofitting multi-tenancy is one of the most expensive rebuilds there is and touches every single query.
Does Quavon work with clients in Dortmund without an office there?
Yes. We work from Rosenheim in Bavaria and travel to Dortmund for kick-offs, workshops and acceptance sessions. In between, collaboration runs on a weekly rhythm: a shared board, a test environment you can open at any time, and a working version to look at every Friday. Most of our clients see more of the work this way than they did with an agency in their own city.
What does a software project for a company in Dortmund cost?
It depends on the number of user roles, the integrations and how much of your process has to be modelled. We do not quote a figure before we understand that. After the first call you get a written estimate with the blocks separated, so you can decide what belongs in version one and what waits for later. If your budget and the scope do not match, we say which parts to cut rather than quietly reducing quality.
