Custom web and e-commerce
Corporate sites, B2B catalogues and online shops, built rather than assembled from a template, and connected to the systems you already run.

Nearshoring
Nearshore development from northern Italy.
The usual trade-offs of offshoring are a lost day per question, English as everyone's second language, and a legal framework nobody wants to read. None of those apply here: same working hours as the rest of Western Europe, the same GDPR you answer to, EU contract law, and a stable team of ten rather than a rotating pool.
What we take on
Four kinds of engagement cover most of what reaches us from abroad.
Custom ERP and CRM
Management systems built around how a company actually works, including the exceptions that packaged software never covers.
Mobile and web applications
Field apps, warehouse apps, customer portals and internal tools, working offline where the job requires it.
Integration and automation
APIs, data synchronisation between systems, document processing and AI integrations that remove repetitive work.
Nearshoring without the usual trade-offs
Companies move development abroad for one reason: good engineers at home are expensive and hard to hire. It goes wrong for reasons that are just as predictable: a time zone that swallows a day on every question, English as a second language on both sides, a different legal framework, and nobody to call when something breaks.
Northern Italy sits in a useful spot. Same working hours as the rest of Western Europe, the same GDPR obligations you have, contracts under EU law, and invoicing that your accountant already knows how to handle. Costs are meaningfully lower than in Germany, France, the Nordics or the UK — not because corners get cut, but because the cost base is different.
We are a stable team of ten with distinct roles, not a rotating pool of contractors. The person who builds your system is still there in two years, which matters far more on a management system than on a website.
- Same time zone as Western Europe. One working day, not two halves of one.
- GDPR and EU contract law. No third-country transfer assessment, no standard contractual clauses to negotiate.
- Five working languages. Italian, English, German, French, Spanish.
- Source code and documentation are yours. Written into the contract, not offered as a favour.
How we work
How a remote project
actually stays on track.
Distance works when the rhythm is fixed and progress is visible without asking for it.
- DiscoveryA call, and for anything involving physical operations, a visit. An hour on site is worth a week of meetings.
- Fixed-price proposalScope, order of work and cost, agreed before anything starts and unchanged while it runs.
- Prototype firstYou see the screens before they are built, while changing them is still cheap.
- Build in modulesThe part that solves the biggest problem goes live first and starts paying for itself.
- Handover and supportDocumentation, training and a named contact who stays after go-live.
Our price
What it costs with us
There is no honest list price here, because a management system is built around the way you work. What we can say upfront is the starting point and how we get to the number: analysis, fixed-price quote, and it does not move after that.

Frequently asked questions
The answers that actually matter.
Why Italy rather than Eastern Asia or Eastern Europe?
Time zone and legal framework. We are in the EU, so GDPR applies to us exactly as it applies to you, there is no third-country transfer to justify, and contracts sit under European law. You write at nine in the morning and get an answer at nine in the morning, not the following night.
What languages do you work in?
Italian, English, German, French and Spanish. Project calls, documentation and support in whichever of those suits you.
How does invoicing work for an EU client?
Intra-community supply: invoice without Italian VAT, reverse charge on your VAT number. For a UK client it is an export of services, outside the scope of Italian VAT.
Do we own the source code?
Yes, along with the documentation. It goes in the contract and we put it there.
How do you run a project remotely?
Fixed rhythm rather than sporadic email: a weekly video call, a shared prototype you can open at any time, and one named contact who always knows where the project stands.
What kind of companies do you work with from the UK?
Mostly firms that would otherwise pay London rates for the same work. We have dedicated pages for UK clients: a software development agency UK page, a mobile app development company UK page and a web design agency UK page, each covering what actually differs — the rate, the time zone and how invoicing works for an import of services.
Tell us what you are trying to build.
Half an hour on a call, no obligation. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit, what it costs and how long it takes.
