MERA
A mountain-training application connecting Garmin Connect synchronisation, FIT-file processing, background workers and terrain-aware route analysis. A custom workspace around training data and the next objective.

Your way.
Some ideas need their own architecture. We turn workflows, data and integrations into focused web applications, from the first useful version to the next stage of your product.
Discuss your project
Build around the work people actually do.
A custom product earns its place by making a specific task easier. We map who uses the software, which decisions it supports and what it needs from other systems. That gives the first release a purpose and the architecture a reason.
What we
can build.
- Web applications & SaaS
- Develop browser-based products with interfaces, business logic and data models suited to the task. Start with the core workflow, then plan the next release from what people actually use.
- Portals & internal platforms
- Bring an operational process into a focused workspace. Define roles, permissions, approvals and the information each person needs, rather than moving a spreadsheet into a more complicated screen.
- Backend & API integration
- Connect services and data sources through clear interfaces. We scope validation, background processing, synchronisation and failure handling alongside the user-facing work.
- Deployment & ongoing development
- Plan how the application is released and maintained. Hosting responsibilities, operational visibility and future changes are part of the conversation before launch.

MAPP
A Medvednica route planner combining MapLibre maps, route alternatives, elevation profiles, GPX import/export and a local route library in an installable PWA.
See MAPP in selected workA smaller first version can be the right one.
We separate the workflow that makes the product useful from the features that can wait. An agreed first release makes assumptions visible, gives you working software to review and leaves room to change direction with evidence.
A little clarity.
Before we build.
When is custom software the right choice?
When an essential workflow, integration or product idea cannot be served well by an existing system. We can also assess whether extending an existing platform is a better fit before proposing a bespoke build.
Can you connect to our existing systems?
We review the available APIs, data formats, access requirements and ownership of each system. Integration scope depends on those interfaces and on the reliability the workflow needs.
How do you estimate a project?
We start with users, workflows, data, integrations and constraints. An existing product, process description or rough sketch helps. We clarify the first release and its unknowns before proposing time and cost.
What happens after the first release?
We can plan maintenance and further development alongside the initial build. Responsibilities for hosting, updates and integrations are agreed for the project, with the next stage shaped by feedback.
