Why not simply
SAP, Salesforce or HubSpot?

Standard software forces you to squeeze your unique processes into a foreign system. That costs time, creates workarounds – and locks you into a vendor long-term.

From idea to live software.

Our process is designed to minimise risk. You see software – not PowerPoint slides.

01

Discovery & Requirements Analysis

We analyse your processes, data flows and system landscape. Result: a clear database model and feature scope.

02

Architecture & Technology Decision

We define domain structure, API boundaries and security concept. Before a single line of code is written.

03

MVP in Sprints

Agile 2-week sprints. After sprint 1 you already have a working base with real data – no flying blind.

04

QA, Security & Go-Live

Automated tests, GDPR review and penetration test before launch. Then: go-live with hypercare phase.

05

Maintenance & Further Development

Long-term partnership. New modules, integrations or scaling measures – on request as a maintenance contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plain answers to questions that matter to decision-makers.

When does custom software make sense compared to standard SaaS?

expand_more
As soon as you notice that you are adapting your processes to the software – instead of the other way around. Standard products cover 80% of requirements. The remaining 20%, however, determine your competitiveness. That is exactly where custom software comes in.

How long does it take to develop an MVP?

expand_more
We typically deliver a first functional MVP in 6–10 weeks. We work in agile 2-week sprints – after the first sprint you already have a working base with real data.

Who owns the source code after project completion?

expand_more
100% you. After full payment we transfer all usage rights. We build on open-source frameworks (Laravel, Filament), so you can continue the code yourself or with other developers at any time.

Can existing systems and third-party software be integrated?

expand_more
Yes – that is part of our standard process. We build REST and GraphQL APIs for DATEV, ERP systems, Microsoft 365, e-commerce platforms and other third-party systems. IoT connection via MQTT is also possible.

What does custom software development at HELITS cost?

expand_more
Project prices start at approx. €15,000 for a focused MVP. Mid-size projects (full ERP module) range from €30,000–80,000. We work with transparent fixed-price offers after a free requirements analysis – no hidden hourly rates.

Which tech stack does HELITS use for custom software?

expand_more
Our core stack is Laravel (PHP) with Filament as admin framework and Livewire for interactive UIs. For complex frontends we use Next.js (React). All frameworks are open source and actively maintained – no vendor lock-in.

What does support and maintenance look like after project completion?

expand_more
After go-live we offer maintenance contracts with defined response times: Standard (48h), Pro (24h) and Priority (4h) for critical production errors. Updates, security patches and minor feature enhancements are included in the maintenance contract.
