See it first.Then decide.The workflow that costs your team time every day becomes software. The first version in weeks, not quarters.

Web apps, internal tools and AI automation for small and mid-sized companies. You start with the 10-day pilot: your team tests the first version before you invest serious money. Flat fee, by Kevin Ludwig from Metzingen.

Others would have written us a concept. Kevin had something we could try out after three days. So we knew quickly whether it worked before we put serious money on the table.

How the 10-day pilot runs.

Ten working days from the agreed start. Beforehand we put in writing what the version must do.

  1. Day 3

    A first clickable state

    One case runs all the way through, with your data.

  2. Day 7

    Demo with your team

    You check the version against the agreed checkpoints.

    Day-7 commitment

    If the version on day 7 doesn't meet one of the checkpoints agreed in writing, we show you a new version within five working days until all are met, provided access and data are available as agreed.

    For businesses only. The written offer sets out the details, and your statutory rights remain in place.

  3. Day 10

    Result and decision

    Test run in the team, documentation and a decision paper with savings calculation.

Who's behind it

„I prefer working software over slide decks, and would rather kill a feature in week two than apologise for it in month six.“

Kevin Ludwig, Engineering & Product

Together with Anna Ludwig, who owns communication and design. For larger projects, experienced freelancers from our network join in.

We work fast. That works when both sides are ready for it.

Good fit

  • A concrete problem that really hurts
  • The person who decides is in the room
  • You want a first version in days, not a spec document first
  • You're happy to look at an unfinished first version

Not a fit

  • A formal tender with a pitch round where everything has to be fixed before the first conversation
  • Contractors on a day rate without a clear goal
  • A tool is supposed to be bought, but there's no problem to solve
  • Projects where nobody has time for questions and testing in the coming months

We run products of our own.

GymLabs has been running since 2020, die macher since 2026: a project portal for construction projects that we run ourselves. That's why we think about operations, support and revenue from day one on client projects.

Common questions

If your question isn't here, ask it in the last row.

What does it cost?

We charge a flat fee, not by the hour: a fixed scope, one sum, a written offer that says what you'll end up with. How high the sum is depends on the scope, which we work out in the first call. The 10-day pilot is the smallest entry point. An audit stands on its own. A product build is planned in releases so the first version runs early.

How fast can we start?

A 10-day pilot usually starts one to two weeks after the call, and so does a product build. If it's urgent, tell us.

How can it be that fast?

AI agents take over routine programming work. What they build is checked by someone who has built and run software himself for years. And instead of months of concept work there's a short alignment and then a first version that we keep planning on together.

Will it work with our systems?

Very likely. We've built integrations with Shopify, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Lexoffice and DATEV, via APIs, webhooks or file interfaces, whatever the system offers. When self-hosted automation pays off.

Are you still around after the project?

If you want us to be. Usually we hand over to your team with documentation. On request we take care of maintenance and updates afterwards and stay available for questions. If you want experienced support long term, book us as Fractional CTO.

How do you handle data protection?

We sign the data processing agreement before the project starts. Hosting is in the EU, on your own servers if needed. We know the requirements of ISO 27001 and TISAX from projects for certified clients and plan the architecture accordingly. Which services work with your data, including AI services, is set out beforehand in the data processing agreement.

Why not an agency or a freelancer?

With an agency, contacts often change between consulting, concept, design and development. A single freelancer often covers only part of it. With us everything is in one place, from the first version to operations, with one person responsible for the whole, even when freelancers from our network join larger projects.

What are you working on?

30 minutes on video with Kevin Ludwig, free of charge. You describe what you have in mind; afterwards you know whether it fits and which entry point is right. Or write to us, one sentence is enough.

On working days we usually reply within 24 hours.
