Software developers 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

Software development is more than programming. For an application to hold up in daily use, requirements have to be captured properly, data has to be structured with care and workflows have to be aligned with the people who will work with the system later. That is exactly what we take on: for over 10 years, Nano Concepts has been developing software for businesses – from internal order management and customer portals to mobile apps and integrations between existing systems.

02

For companies in Dortmund – around 255 km from Dudenhofen – we work with clear alignment via video, shared boards, and dedicated contacts. For companies outside the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region we work remotely – with video workshops, shared project boards and test environments you can access at any time. Where needed, we run important workshops or acceptance sessions on site. Whether you're searching for “software company Dortmund” or “software development agency Dortmund”: at Nano Concepts you get consulting, implementation, and support from a single source.

TU Dortmund University, Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts and several Fraunhofer institutes form a strong research environment, complemented by technology sites on former industrial areas such as Phoenix.

Scope of services

Our services around Software development

Requirements analysis & concept

We capture workflows, roles and goals in workshops and document them in a clear requirements specification with prioritized features.

Software architecture

We choose technologies, data model and hosting to fit your project – so the solution can be extended later without starting over.

Web & mobile development

Web applications, mobile apps and background services are built on a coordinated technology stack instead of disconnected stand-alone solutions.

Quality assurance & testing

Automated tests, code reviews and test phases with your users make sure bugs show up before go-live – not after.

Taking over existing projects

We analyze existing code, document weaknesses and give you an honest recommendation on whether further development or a rebuild makes more sense.

Operations & further development

Monitoring, security updates, backups and new features – optionally with fixed response and maintenance times under a maintenance contract.

When Software development is worth it

  • Your processes depend on Excel lists, emails and the knowledge of a few individual employees.
  • Several programs work side by side, and data is transferred by hand more than once.
  • You have a product idea but no in-house development team to build it.
  • Your existing software is outdated, hard to extend, or the previous developer is no longer reachable.
  • You are looking for a partner who doesn't just build software but supports it over the long term.

Your benefits with Nano Concepts

One team for everything

Concept, development, design with LOMA DESIGN and operations all come from a single source. You don't have to coordinate several service providers.

Predictable costs

For a clearly defined scope you preferably get a fixed price; for open-ended projects, transparent time-and-materials billing.

Experience from our own platforms

We run software ourselves that is up around the clock. That practical experience feeds directly into the architecture and operation of your project.

Direct line

You talk to the developers, not to a hotline. We usually answer inquiries within 24 hours.
