Where custom software makes the difference

Custom software pays off above all in six situations: replacing Excel and Access, complementing off-the-shelf software, internal tools, customer and partner portals, connecting systems and software for production. Almost every project starts with a process that takes too much time, not with an idea for software. Does this sound familiar?

Replace Excel and Access

“Our most important process depends on a spreadsheet that only one colleague really understands.”

Spreadsheets, Access databases and paper notes become a web application with one shared database, roles, audit log and reports. Everyone works with the same data, on the road too.

  • Replace Excel
  • Replace Access
  • Database

Off-the-shelf doesn’t fit

“We pay licences for a system we work around every single day.”

For the part of your business that sets you apart, we build custom software. Where standard software is enough, it stays, and we connect the two.

  • Custom software
  • ERP add-on
  • CRM add-on

Internal tools for your team

“Planning, scheduling and approvals run on e-mail and shouting across the office.”

Tools for planning, scheduling, approvals and documentation in the browser: orders, appointments, resources and documents in one place, with clear responsibilities.

  • Web app
  • Scheduling
  • Approvals

Customers & partners

“Our customers call to ask about things they could look up themselves.”

In a portal, customers and partners order and book themselves, track orders and download documents, with your data from ERP and CRM.

  • Customer portal
  • Partner portal
  • Self-service

Connect systems

“Every day we type the same data into three different programs.”

Connect ERP, CRM, shop, accounting and specialist software via interfaces, so every piece of information is entered once and is correct everywhere.

  • Interfaces
  • ERP integration
  • Automation

Software for production

“The ERP plans, but it doesn’t cover the decisive step in production.”

Recipes, batches, machine data and special processes in custom software, connected to plants, MES and ERP.

  • Industrial software
  • Recipes
  • Machine data

Custom or off-the-shelf? An honest answer.

Custom software pays off when a process sets you apart from competitors or your systems don’t work together; off-the-shelf software is enough when your process is industry standard. wunderwerk doesn’t recommend custom software just because we build it: in the initial consultation we check which route pays off for you, and we tell you when standard software is enough.

Custom software pays off when …

  • Your process sets you apart

    Standard software only covers it with workarounds, side lists or manual work.

  • Excel, Access or paper carry the business

    Important data sits in files that few people understand and nobody secures.

  • Systems don’t talk to each other

    The same data is typed into several programs, errors included.

  • Licences grow with every head

    Per-user costs rise with your team, the benefit doesn’t.

Standard software is enough when …

  • Your process is industry standard

    Good off-the-shelf software solves it with a little configuration.

  • You need an online shop

    There are mature shop systems for that; custom development rarely pays off.

  • It’s only about introducing a standard product

    A partner of that vendor does this better.

Not sure which applies to you? That’s exactly what we clarify in the free initial consultation.

How is your software built? In four phases.

wunderwerk develops custom software in four phases: a free initial consultation, a workshop with prototype, a first version in 4 to 8 weeks, then operation and growth. You commission each phase separately and decide afterwards whether to continue. No 80-page specification and no months without results.

  1. 1

    Initial consultation

    30 minutes with the managing director: which process costs you the most time today, which systems are involved, what would a good result look like? You get an honest assessment of whether custom software pays off. Free and non-binding.

  2. 2

    Workshop & prototype

    We look at your processes with the people who work with them every day, find the biggest levers and decide together: replace, complement or stay with the standard. Result: a clickable prototype, a first goal and a cost framework.

  3. 3

    First version in 4 to 8 weeks

    We develop the smallest version that delivers real value in day-to-day work, with real data and the interfaces it needs. Your team works with it, we measure and adjust.

  4. 4

    Operation & growth

    Hosting in the EU, maintenance, updates and support. Then the next features, prioritised by what your team needs day to day. We have supported some of our clients this way for more than ten years.

AI writes code. We build software.

Thanks to wunderOS and our wunderFactory.

AI has opened up programming to everyone: anyone can put a prototype together today. Whether it turns into software that holds up in day-to-day operation is decided afterwards – in architecture, security, testing and maintenance over the years. That is exactly where prompting and real expertise part ways.

That is why we built our own operating system: wunderOS runs our company from sales to development. At its heart is the wunderFactory, where our AI agents, the wunderBots, build to the architecture rules, standards and tests from 20 years of software development – led by experienced software architects.

The result is software built noticeably faster and more affordably – in the quality you hire us for. We are AI experts and use that to get the best out of your project.

AI-generated

More software for the same budget

The wunderBots handle the routine work. You pay for architecture, decisions and results – not for legwork.

Live in weeks, not months

From the workshop to the first usable version, with changes after that in days. You see early on what works.

Quality is built in, not bolted on

Tests, reviews and security checks run automatically in the wunderFactory with every change – not just when there is time.

Architects, not prompters

The AI executes, we decide: data model, interfaces, operations. That way your software stays maintainable and extensible five years from now.

Bottom line: Bespoke software on terms that make sense for SMEs too – built with AI, with software architects accountable for it.

Software that works with your systems

Custom software from wunderwerk connects to your ERP, CRM, shop and specialist software via interfaces (APIs) and uses your existing data instead of copying it. That way it doesn’t become a new silo next to your systems.

For us as a team from Austria, this is not an extra option but standard practice: EU & GDPR first.

  • Integrated with ERP, CRM, shop and specialist software

    Master data, orders, prices and documents come from your systems via interfaces (APIs). What works well there stays; the new software complements it instead of copying it.

  • Open technologies, clearly documented

    Open, widely used technologies such as TypeScript, React, Next.js and Laravel, clearly documented. No per-user licence, no dependence on a website builder or a single developer.

  • Roles, permissions and audit log

    Everyone sees and changes only what belongs to their role. Approvals, audit logging and tenant separation are part of the architecture from the start, not a later rebuild.

  • Hosting in the EU, GDPR-compliant

    Operation in the EU, on-premise or in your own cloud on request. We plan data processing agreements, the privacy policy and deletion concepts right from the start.

We had the wunderworkers develop bespoke industrial software for creating recipes for a highly sensitive industrial process.

The collaboration was extremely professional from the outset: the team quickly understood our complex requirements, implemented them precisely and always paid close attention to maximum reliability and security. I would particularly like to highlight their technical know-how, clean documentation and fast response times for questions or change requests.

The recipe editor is now running in several plants in Sweden, Italy and the Czech Republic.

The software runs reliably, is intuitive to use and our customers are completely satisfied. We can recommend wunderwerk without reservation!

Frequently asked questions about custom software develop­ment

Your question isn’t listed? We’ll answer it directly with the managing director in a free initial consultation.

How much does custom software development cost?

The cost of custom software development at wunderwerk depends on the scope, above all on the number of processes, roles and systems to integrate. You commission each phase separately: the initial consultation is free, the workshop delivers a prototype and cost framework, then comes a first version that is usable day to day after 4 to 8 weeks of development. So you know what each step costs before it starts. Ongoing costs are hosting, maintenance and further development, but no per-user licence. You get a first estimate via the cost calculator or in the free initial consultation.

How long does it take to have software developed?

wunderwerk develops a first usable version covering your most important process in 4 to 8 weeks, depending on scope; a clickable prototype is usually ready within a few days. After that the software grows in short steps, prioritised by what your team needs day to day. It is in use from the first version, not only after months.

Custom or off-the-shelf software: which is better?

Off-the-shelf software is better when your process matches the industry standard and per-user licence costs are acceptable. Custom software pays off when the process sets you apart from competitors, several systems have to work together or spreadsheets carry the business. Often the best solution is a combination: standard for the usual, custom software for what is special, connected via interfaces. wunderwerk tells you honestly in the initial consultation which route fits.

Can you replace our Excel or Access solution?

Yes, wunderwerk moves data and logic from spreadsheets and Access databases into a web application with one shared database, roles, audit log and reports. We plan the switch so that operations continue: the most important process first, with your existing data migrated.

Which technologies do you use, and why a web application?

wunderwerk usually builds custom software as a web application with open, widely used technologies such as TypeScript, React, Next.js and Laravel, clearly documented and without dependence on a website builder. A web application runs in the browser on any device, without installation and without updates at each workstation; everyone works with the same data, on the road too. Where offline operation or device features are needed, wunderwerk adds a mobile app.

Can the software be integrated with our ERP, CRM or accounting?

Yes, wunderwerk connects custom software via interfaces (APIs) with ERP, CRM, shop, accounting, DMS and specialist software, so data is maintained in one place only. If a legacy system lacks an interface, we find a way during the analysis, for example via database access or export and import. More under process automation and interfaces.

Is the software GDPR-compliant, and who hosts and maintains it?

Yes, wunderwerk hosts custom software in the EU, on-premise or in your own cloud on request, and builds roles, permissions and audit logging into the architecture from the start. We plan data processing agreements, deletion concepts and data protection with you. After launch, wunderwerk takes care of operation, maintenance, updates and support and keeps developing the software; we have supported some clients this way for more than ten years. See secure software development for how wunderwerk builds security in from the start.

Do you also take over existing software?

Yes, wunderwerk takes over existing software after a technical and economic analysis. We review code, architecture, security and the rights to the source code and show whether the existing software can be continued or whether a new build is more economical. More under software modernisation and vibe coding project takeover.

Which companies and regions do you develop custom software for?

wunderwerk develops custom software for small and medium-sized businesses in Austria, Germany and Switzerland that have a process costing too much time and want to invest in a lasting solution. As a software company from Tyrol, we develop for businesses across Austria, whether in Salzburg, Linz, Graz, Klagenfurt or Vorarlberg, and in Bavaria around Rosenheim and Traunstein. Our head office is in St. Ulrich am Pillersee in Tyrol, with further offices in Salzburg, Vienna and Berlin; we hold kick-offs and workshops on site at your premises and coordinate in remote meetings in between. For pure online shops or the introduction of standard software we are not the right partner, and we say so.

Is there funding for custom software?

Yes, many digitalisation projects are eligible for funding programmes, depending on country, region, company size and project. However, KMU.DIGITAL, the Austrian SME programme, no longer accepts new applications and will not continue from 2027. wunderwerk’s managing director is a certified KMU.DIGITAL consultant (CDC) and shows you in a free funding check which programmes apply to your project now.

Why wunderwerk as a partner for custom software?

wunderwerk brings more than 20 years of project experience and more than 80 projects, many of them in use for years and continuously developed further, for Ziachfuchs and Selvico, for example, for more than ten years. We are a small, well-coordinated team of software architects, full-stack developers and AI engineers in Tyrol, Salzburg, Vienna and Berlin, rated 5.0 on Google. You talk directly to the managing director and get concept, development and operation from a single source.
