Sometimes you need an experienced and well-practiced software team.We develop custom, test driven and scalable applications for your needs - with a strict and flexible workflow.

What we do – briefly

Sustainable Development

We provide a battle proof toolchain for and experience with many social media platforms to create custom applications without pain and with concentration on the features they need.

Social Media Solutions

You don't need to reinvent the wheel unless it's your USP. There are services out there, which allow you to delegate whole application parts. Integrating them comes with special problems that require certain development strategies like fault tolerance and caching.We have tools specialized to make building applications based on external api's easy.

API – based ApplicationsIn most cases you don't need a expensive and hard to maintain 'native' app. Our solutions play perfectly with the web based backend and of course can go to the app stores. We built cross-platform mobile apps with standards-based web technologies that just work like a native app, using UI/UX elements and concepts that makes the app easy to use.

Many webshops still run with old giants like magento or osCommerce. We help you to sell your products through modern, easy to use, modular, waterproof and scalable nice webshops. We built webshops that meet your business needs and customize Spree Commerce. Spree is built on top of the Ruby on Rails framework using Engines.

What we do – briefly

eCommerce

As a rails team we can solve many of your business workflow solutions faster and cheaper than our big competitors. We offer cost-efficient applications that are customly tailored to your company's needs.From CRM to Warehouse Management to Salestracking – our open source, hosted or custom built solutions fit your needs and will help you optimize your workflow. Rails makes it pretty easy and we have a good toolkit to do it fast and efficiently. In our opinion it has become a real alternative to doing things manually or switching over large and expensive vendors.

How we work

We have a strict development process which is as transparent as possible and allows clients to see progress and identify problems and potential cost intensive decisions almost in real time.Instead of 'single developer per project' setup we like to have different skill-sets partially involved and always someone who knows the project as backup.

Toolset

Technologies we know, recommend, use and like

● Rails when ever we can do it.

● Django when Python is a must.

● Sinatra when Rails is overkill.

● Plain Rack when Sinatra is overkill.

● Cucumber, Capybara, Rspec and Selenium for Tests

● MySQL and PostgreSQL in most cases because it works.

● MongoDB when document structure is relevant.

● CouchDB when the application logic goes into the database.

● RabbitMQ, Redis, Memcached and Drb to make things fast and flexible.

● Jquery and Backbone-JS for UI Development.

● CSS3 geek stuff, when the project relies on modern browsers.

● Solr when we need a powerful search engine (though we are good in SQL still)

● Capistrano and Chef for Setup and Deployment.

For moviepilot.com we developed a stand-alone editorial system,

strictly displaying the internal workflow, from researching ideas for

articles, over review by chief editors, up to social media propagation

(Facebook API) after the article was published.

with the moviepilot.com backend, providing a customized markdown

editor with livepreview, autosave and many more useful features.

We covered all basic needs of project management, from organizing

in different groups, assigning tasks and scheduling meetings - all of

that in a very personal look and feel, to support connections

the deezer API we generated playlists especially of French connected

artists. The playlists could be shared in facebook or add to the user

library. The aim is to keep the user in the app or within deezer.com. In

the backend the admins could edit and add album cover images, links

and feature texts as well as new playlists and artist/release/event

DoonitedStartup Support and BootstrappingSustainable Development

For the startup Digitale Seiten we support the CTO. We were mainly

responsible for the code architecture and in permanent technical

knowledge exchange with the CTO and the development team for the

existing software of the Digitale Seiten platform. For their platform

Dachdecker we integrated a system for managing conversion strategies

into the existing application with the goal to create an sustainable

architecture that enables to manage conversion strategies out of a

coherent interface and to integrate them to several platforms of DS (e.g.

by popups, call to action of a premium product, blocker etc.). We also did

the refactoring of the the architecture of products like premium

accounts with the goal to create flexibility for the future.

Doonited was bootstrapped by us and the first project we created

with our rock solid prototyping tool kit. The cool design of

Doonited's artist made this work fun. The application runs on

Heroku and uses various modern techniques.
