Software Development

We build software for sales, product data management and remote equipment control in manufacturing. We connect systems, bring scattered data together and build AI-assisted features where they reduce manual work.

Quote Configurators

Want to create quotes faster?

If preparing a quote means jumping between systems, spreadsheets and files and takes far too long, our quote configurator can help.

The more complex and tailored your quoting process is, the more value a configurator provides.

We bring your quoting process into one clear view where salespeople create quotes and track their progress.

Mobile and Remote-Control Apps

Want to modernize your product's remote management or build a new remote-control app?

We develop the required iPhone and Android apps from a shared codebase.

We also deliver the server-side systems and admin tools they need.

Product Data and Catalog Management

When your current systems can no longer manage complex product data, or your product management spreadsheets are straining at the seams, we build a clear, reliable replacement.

The solution may include product databases, catalog management tools and publishing systems. Internal teams, partners and customers gain access to the same accurate, up-to-date information.

Custom software built around the way you work

We deliver complete web and mobile applications. We take responsibility for the interface and for the server, database and integrations behind it.

We start with the work the software needs to make easier. We identify the users, data sources and steps that cause errors or unnecessary manual work. We use those findings to decide what to build and which existing systems to keep.

We connect the software to systems such as your CRM, ERP, finance platform or payment service. The integrations remove the need to copy data between systems. Users see the information they need for the task in one place.

AI in your software

We build AI-assisted tools for clients, for example to process technical documents, search product data, classify messages and support decisions. We connect them to existing systems and define the task so users can check the result.

We recommend AI for work where it saves time, reduces processing errors or makes information locked in documents usable. We select the model and implementation based on the data, security requirements and maintenance needs.

We also use current AI tools in our own development work. Our developers decide how to use them and remain responsible for architecture, reviewing changes and testing.

Web Applications

A custom web application is a good fit when off-the-shelf software forces you to change a process that works or when important information is scattered across several places. Common starting points include:

  • A salesperson assembles each quote by hand from several files and systems.
  • The validity of product options, components or recipes depends on one specialist's memory.
  • Legacy systems do not exchange data with each other.
  • Product data exists in several versions of the same spreadsheet.
  • Compiling a report requires copying data and checking it by hand.
  • Customers or partners need their own view of orders, products or services.

We have built:

  • sales and quoting platforms
  • product configurators
  • product data management tools
  • booking and appointment systems
  • customer and partner portals
  • intranets and internal tools
  • 3D configurators
  • AI-assisted workflows and software features

Mobile Applications

We develop applications for iPhone and Android. We use the same codebase for both platforms when the product features and device requirements allow it. This shortens development time and makes maintenance easier.

We can also deliver the application's backend, integrations and maintenance tools. The client receives a working system without coordinating several suppliers.

UI and UX Design

We design the interface around the work users need to complete. Clear steps prevent errors, shorten onboarding and lower support demand.

Accessibility is part of the design from the start. We account for keyboard use and the structure communicated to screen readers. We also check colors and contrast.

The work covers the application's structure, interaction patterns, visual hierarchy and consistent appearance. We follow your existing brand guidelines. We can also deliver brand visualization as part of the project.

How we run your project

  • 1. Goal and scope

    We identify the users, workflows, current systems and intended benefit. We can prototype the area with the most uncertainty.

  • 2. Implementation plan

    We divide the work into independent releases. You receive a price and schedule estimate plus a description of what the first release includes.

  • 3. First usable release

    We build a release that covers the most important use cases and give it to users for testing. Their feedback guides the next decisions before the system grows too large.

  • 4. Maintenance and further development

    We monitor the software after release, fix problems and develop new features in the agreed order. You keep access to the same team after launch.

Why Smartbutlers?

Your contacts are the designers and developers doing the work. Our small team knows the implementation details and can make decisions without layers of management.

We know the daily work behind manufacturing sales, product data and equipment integrations. You do not need to define the technical solution in advance. Describe how the work happens today and what you want to achieve. We turn that into an implementation plan.

We use well-known, well-supported technologies, including TypeScript, React and PostgreSQL. We document the implementation so another supplier can continue its development. We follow applicable accessibility requirements and account for security and privacy throughout the project.

Most of our clients work with us for years. Long-term collaboration helps us develop the software as the business and its users' needs change.
