Software that fits. Your team, your systems and your rules.

We build custom software, help existing software and AI stick in your organisation, and make sure your data stays yours. Always starting from the same question: what do you want to achieve?

Software that fits

Off-the-shelf software works fine, until your business works slightly differently from the package. Then you start working around it, with spreadsheets and manual steps. We build the software that closes that gap. Start small, get something working fast, and expand when it works.

For example

  • A portal where customers upload their own documents
  • An integration so orders no longer get retyped
  • A planning tool that matches how you actually plan
  • A dashboard with the numbers you now pull from three places

Software and AI that click

Sometimes you don't need to build anything. The tool exists, but it doesn't work the way it should. Or you want to use AI, but don't know where it adds value. We look at where the time goes, pick the right tools, set them up and make sure your team uses them.

For example

  • Setting up and connecting a CRM or planning system properly
  • AI agents that take over repetitive work, like sorting email or preparing quotes
  • Clear rules for AI use, so customer data doesn't end up in ChatGPT
  • Training for your team, so it actually gets used

In control of your data

Many small businesses run entirely on US cloud services, often without ever consciously choosing to. That's a risk for your privacy, your costs and your dependence. We map out where your data lives, and build an alternative where it makes sense.

For example

  • Hosting your software in Dutch data centres
  • Your own AI environment with open models, in your own cloud
  • An exit plan for services you depend on too much
  • GDPR and security in order, together with security partner Tozetta

From first conversation to software that keeps running

You don't need every step. Sometimes the Scan is enough. Sometimes you start at Build because it's already clear what needs doing.

  1. Intro call

    First a quick call: what's getting in the way, and can we help? If it clicks, we set up a longer meeting. In person around Amsterdam and het Gooi, or by video call.

    15-minute call, then a longer meeting

  2. The Scan

    We look at your processes, your systems and your data. You get a clear plan: what first, what later, and what to leave alone.

    2 to 3 days

  3. Build

    We build step by step. After each round you have something you can use, so you can steer along the way.

    In short rounds

  4. Stay

    Software is never finished. We stay on as your tech partner: improving, maintaining and thinking along.

    Ongoing

The Scan: know where you stand

In two to three days we map your systems, processes and data. You don't get a thick report. You get a plan you can use tomorrow.

Want security reviewed too? Tozetta can run an extended scan.

  • An overview of your systems, tools and what they cost
  • Where time leaks away in your processes
  • Where AI does and doesn't add value
  • The main security and GDPR risks
  • A plan: what first, what later, and what not

Always included

Pleasant to use

For your team and your customers. So nobody has to think about how something works.

Secure and GDPR-proof

We store as little as possible, and protect what we do store.

The code is yours

Everything lives in your own repository. You can always carry on, with or without us.

One point of contact

You talk to the person who builds it. No account manager in between.

Already have a development team?

Then Patrick can join as interim tech lead, 1 to 3 days a week. Setting direction, documenting decisions and helping the team grow. Like at Chapter.works.

Not the one who decides?

Often one person finds us and someone else makes the call. Forward this page and your director has the whole story in two minutes.

Forward by email

Let's find out where it hurts.

A free 15-minute call. You'll know straight away whether we can help. And if we can't, I'll tell you.
