Software Development

We build software that makes everyday work in manufacturing smoother. We connect your systems and consolidate data so sales and product development can operate without unnecessary bottlenecks. Our specialty is quote product configurators that speed up quote generation and ensure data accuracy.

Quote Configurators

Would you like to speed up quote creation?

If preparing a quote requires surfing between different systems, Excels and files and takes far too long, our quote configurator is the solution.

The more complex and customized your company’s quote process is, the more a quote configurator can help!

We bring your company’s quoting process into one easy-to-use view where sales work and tracking are efficient.

Mobile and Remote Control Applications

Do you want to modernize your product’s remote control? Or build an entirely new remote control application?

We implement the mobile applications needed for remote control on iPhone and Android, built efficiently from a shared codebase.

We deliver the apps together with the server-side systems and admin tools required to operate them.

Product Data & Catalog Management

When your current systems are insufficient for managing complex product data or your product management Excel files are creaking at the seams, we build solutions that bring structure and reliability.

This includes product databases, catalog management tools and publishing systems that make accurate, up-to-date information available regardless of channel: for internal teams, partners or customers.

Custom Software Development Solutions

We build complete software solutions, not just user interfaces or isolated parts. This typically includes everything: the user-facing application, server-side logic, database and integrations with existing systems.

Whether you need integration with CRM, finance, ERP or payment providers, we build and maintain functional connections. This way data flows automatically and manual work is reduced. If you’re starting from scratch, we help choose the right tools and set up integrations from the ground up.

The result is a unified system designed around your business logic instead of technical shortcuts.

Web Applications

We build solutions that clarify everyday work, streamline processes and bring data together in one place. We leverage your company’s existing systems and connect them seamlessly with integrations so data moves automatically and reliably.

We understand the daily reality of manufacturing. We identify the everyday bottlenecks and inefficiencies that slow work down and build practical, clear solutions for them. We make company processes transparent with software that ensures the right information is always available to the employees who need it.

Examples of situations our software solves:

  • The quoting process is slow because every customer requires a customized product solution.
  • The number of components or product recipes is large, and managing them and ensuring correctness is laborious.
  • Multiple separate or outdated systems are in use and data does not move between them automatically.
  • Product information is scattered across Excel files and exists as tacit knowledge within the organization.
  • Sales reporting is fragmented and compiling it takes time.
  • Quoting and sales processes lack unified practices, and information lives in files and with individual employees.

Examples of software solutions we have implemented:

  • sales and quoting platforms
  • product configurators
  • product management solutions
  • booking and reservation systems
  • customer and partner portals
  • intranets and internal tools
  • interactive tools such as 3D configurators
  • AI-powered features and integrations

Mobile Applications

We develop mobile applications for both iPhone and Android. Using modern cross-platform technology (React Native), we can build a single app that runs on both systems, reducing costs and development time without sacrificing user experience. Mobile projects are typically delivered together with the server-side systems and admin tools needed to operate them.

UI/UX Design

Good software feels smooth in daily use: clear workflows, minimal friction and an interface that’s easy to learn. This reduces support requests and speeds adoption. We invest in user interface and user experience design (UI & UX) to ensure applications are clear in purpose and visually polished.

Our design work covers information architecture, interaction patterns, visual hierarchy and a consistent style across the application. If you have brand guidelines, we follow them in the design. If no brand identity exists yet, or the visual identity needs updating, we can also deliver brand visualization as part of the project.

This is how your project progresses

1. Shared vision and plan

We clarify requirements, priorities and success metrics and, if needed, create light prototypes.

2. Implementation approach, roadmap and schedule

We define scope and pricing model and propose an implementation method, phases and timeline. This way you know what will be done and when.

3. First version (MVP)

We build a version that covers the core use cases and can be tested and deployed quickly.

4. Maintenance and continuous development

After release, development often continues with new features and maintenance. Our experts ensure the software evolves with your company’s growth and genuinely serves users’ needs.

Why Smartbutlers?

We are a small team, so you work directly with the makers without intermediaries. Our strength is a combination of business understanding and hands-on experience in manufacturing.

We don’t speak complicated technical jargon; we focus on understanding your business needs. You don’t need to know how the solution is implemented. Just tell us your challenges. We’ll take care of the rest.

We build with well-known and well-supported technologies (e.g., TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL), so your systems are maintainable and not tied to us or uncommon frameworks. We follow accessibility standards and GDPR requirements as part of all projects.

Most of our clients work with us for years. We implement software so it’s scalable and adaptable as the company grows and evolves.
