Custom software development in Dortmund

Dortmund's path from coal and steel to logistics, IT and services has let many companies grow digitally – often faster than their systems. Custom software, well-designed interfaces and dependable IT support bring order to grown structures and make processes resilient.

01

Many companies work with a patchwork of standard programs, Excel spreadsheets and email inboxes. Each tool solves part of the task, but your team fills the gaps in between by hand. Custom software closes those gaps: we develop applications that map your workflows exactly – from order intake through planning to billing – and integrate existing systems rather than replacing them.

02

For companies in Dortmund – around 255 km from Dudenhofen – we work with clear alignment via video, shared boards, and dedicated contacts. We run the process discovery by video call with screen sharing or in an on-site workshop. We provide prototypes and test versions online so your team can try them out regardless of location. Whether you're searching for “bespoke software Dortmund” or “custom software development company Dortmund”: at Nano Concepts you get consulting, implementation, and support from a single source.

Scope of services

Our services around Custom software development

Process discovery on site or remote

We accompany your employees through their working day, identify breaks between systems and special cases, and derive the requirements from them.

Replacing Excel & stand-alone solutions

We migrate existing spreadsheets, Access databases or legacy programs, data included, into a central multi-user application.

Roles, permissions & approvals

Each role sees only what it needs. Approval levels, the four-eyes principle and change logs are built in.

Integration of existing systems

Accounting, ERP, CRM or online store stay in use – we connect them to the new software through interfaces.

Key-figure dashboards, exports and automatically generated documents such as quotes, delivery notes or inspection reports.

Docu­menta­tion & training

Technical documentation for your IT and a clear introduction for users, so the rollout succeeds in day-to-day work.

When Custom software development is worth it

  • Important processes run on Excel files that only one or two employees really understand.
  • Off-the-shelf software covers only part of your requirements, and the rest is handled with workarounds.
  • Per-user license fees rise with every new employee, without the software fitting you any better.
  • Data is transferred by hand between several programs and regularly mistyped along the way.
  • Your company has a special process that sets you apart from the competition – and no standard product can map it.
