Nearshore development · Poland

A software house in Poland that keeps its own systems running in production.

We build custom systems for European companies that have outgrown off-the-shelf SaaS. We do not sell developer hours — we deliver systems that run. Eight products in the portfolio, each with real data and numbers you can check. Same working day as Berlin, Vienna or London; same legal framework as your own contracts.

Who this is for

When a European company gets in touch with us

We are not the first choice when a monthly subscription does the job. We are the choice when off-the-shelf tools have stopped being enough.

Five subscriptions instead of one system
CRM in one place, mailing in another, stock somewhere else, and a spreadsheet holding it all together. Every month means licence fees and copying data between tools that refuse to talk to each other.
A process that will not fit an off-the-shelf tool
Your industry has its own logic, and generic SaaS forces workarounds. The team ends up working around the system instead of inside it.
Data scattered across the company
Orders in one system, correspondence in another, decisions in people's heads. Nobody can answer a simple question without an hour of digging.
Manual work that grows with the company
Every new customer means the same set of clicks. Hiring one more person moves the problem rather than solving it.
Evidence

What we built and what came out of it

These numbers come from live systems, not from a sales deck. Client names are changed wherever we are bound by confidentiality.

4 h → 15 min
Complaint handling time
A CRM with automated replies for an e-commerce retailer. 27 days from brief to production.
43,943
Orders migrated with zero discrepancies
A live shop moved to a new architecture — without losing Google rankings and without losing a single customer.
6 stores · 4,484 products
One admin panel instead of six
A product data management system for a company running six Magento stores at once.
4 weeks · no licence fees
B2B CRM for a sales team
Built from scratch instead of subscribed to. Running it costs a server, not a fee per user.

Why Poland

Why companies in the EU and the UK nearshore to Poland

The practical argument is the working day. We sit in the CET time zone, which means a full overlap with Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Spain, and roughly seven shared working hours with the UK and Ireland. A question asked in the morning is answered the same morning, not after a night shift somewhere else. Project work runs in English — written specifications, code, commit messages and calls.

The second argument is legal and boring in the best sense. Poland is an EU member state, so the same GDPR, the same consumer and contract law, the same VAT rules and the same courts apply as at home. There is no data transfer outside the European Economic Area to justify, and no separate processing agreement to negotiate around a third country. Servers in the EU and GDPR compliance are our default assumption, not an extra module at the end of the project. The company is registered in Katowice; the KRS number sits in the footer of every page, so you can check us before the first call rather than after it.

The third argument is the ratio of engineering quality to cost. Polish rates are sensible compared with Western Europe without being the cheapest on the market — and we do not compete on being cheapest. We work on the Austrian and German markets in parallel with the Polish one, which means the things that usually surface late in a project are already routine here: multiple languages from day one, GDPR built in from the start, and EU hosting as the baseline. When a project genuinely calls for it, we can meet in person — at kick-off, at handover, or over a hard architectural decision. The rest of the work happens remotely, because that is faster for both sides.

How we work

Three steps, and no sales presentations

1 · A conversation about the problem
You describe what is not working. We tell you whether it calls for a custom system or whether a cheaper off-the-shelf tool will do. If it will, we say so plainly and that is where it ends.
2 · Scope and quote
You get a description of what will be built, in what order and for how much. No "from–to" estimate stretched across two orders of magnitude. What actually drives the price is set out on a separate page.
3 · Delivery in stages
The first working version reaches you as early as possible, so it can be judged on real data. Then the next stages follow. The code and the data are yours from the start, not once the engagement ends.
Honestly

What you will not find here

So that neither side spends time on a conversation that was always going to end with "not for us".

Tell us where your business is getting stuck

We answer concretely: whether this is a job for a custom system, roughly what it costs and how long it takes. If a cheaper off-the-shelf tool would solve it, we say so in our first reply.
