Your own admin, built your way

Use it where it fits — it is good. A custom back office earns its cost when your process spans systems the admin does not know about, or when the people using it all day need a screen built for their job rather than for a shop manager.

That is usually the whole point. We start with the one spreadsheet that most people depend on and most people are afraid of, replace it properly, and let that success argue for the next one.

A focused first version is typically 6–12 weeks. We ship the process that hurts most first rather than building everything and launching in nine months.

Yes, and you should insist on that with any supplier before you sign. It is your database, on your infrastructure, with a documented schema and a working export. No proprietary format, no fee per extracted record — because the leverage a vendor gets from holding your data hostage is exactly why you wanted your own system in the first place.

The things that change often, yes: users, roles, dropdown values, email texts, thresholds, report filters. We push those into configuration deliberately. A new entity, a new integration or different approval logic is development, and pretending otherwise produces a configuration screen so general that nobody understands it. We draw that line with you at the start.

Either. It is a normal web application, so it runs at a managed European host, on a machine in your own rack, or inside infrastructure you already pay for. That is your decision and we deploy where you require. The honest note: on-premise means your team owns the backups, the updates and the box at two in the morning.

That depends on how much you put behind it, which is why we ask early. Shipping and invoicing should keep running from the source systems, with the back office as a view onto them rather than the only place the data exists. We design the critical path so an outage costs you an afternoon of convenience, not a day of orders.
