We are software architects, business analysts and senior developers
For over 22 years we have taken on complex challenges in how businesses are run and operated.
We turn complicated, tangled processes into reliable, elegant solutions.
Our approach
An all-senior team
The architects who design your system also build it, and talk to you directly.
Working backwards
We start from the outcome you need and find the simplest route that holds up in production.
The source code is yours
We hand everything over to you, to run in your own cloud. No licence fees. No vendor lock-in.
Fair and transparent
We’ll also tell you what not to build. We don’t spend your money coding what you don’t need.
Code is a commodity today.
Judgement and experience are not
Today anyone can produce an application with AI over a weekend. Building it on precise architecture, with secure integrations, so that it doesn’t fall over - that takes years of experience. And above all, someone who takes responsibility for it. That is our job.
For Smartwings we run the entire software ecosystem of connected applications and third-party systems. We develop and maintain the platform while it is in full operation, because you can’t switch an airline off, not even for an hour. The same application has run 24/7 for over 22 years, now in its fourth generation.
How we work
The client is part of development
The more you take part in development, the better the product, because we can make changes as we go rather than after handover.
A trial period or a prototype
In the first phase you can order an analysis or a prototype, so you know from experience who you are working with. If you are happy, you order the full build - and we can deliver that in phases too.
Easy integration into your existing ecosystem
Through single sign-on, a connection to your Active Directory, or by deploying applications in containers.
Open applications through APIs
Our applications are API-by-design and the API is documented automatically, which developers and machines alike appreciate. We routinely connect to third-party APIs in a range of formats and protocols.
Extensibility and modularity
We deliver our solutions as modules or as microservices, so you can easily change or extend them in future.
Easy sign-in
We provide single sign-on by connecting to your existing user or employee directory.
You get the source code
With bespoke development you receive the source code, which you can then change yourselves or through a third party.
Open source
We use technologies that carry no extra licence fees. Together with handing over the source code, that keeps you clear of vendor lock-in.
We test
Every scenario and expected result you give us. That way new features and extensions are built on stable, proven foundations.
Security
Our applications serve thousands of users and handle the data of millions of customers. We take security extremely seriously. We provide an audit log - what each user did, when, and which data they changed.
Hosted by us or by you
We run applications in the cloud, or deliver containers for you to run in-house. We keep watch over operations - monitoring availability, performance and speed, and collecting feedback and errors. If something goes wrong, we know about it.
