Custom development
We build operational software people actually use
Materia started life as a client project. In four months we went from nothing to a system that runs a real construction company’s ordering. We can build a tool for your operation the same way.
- 01
Custom operational applications
Internal systems for companies whose operations leak into email, spreadsheets and tools that never talk to each other. From process design through deployment to training people.
- Web applications in Next.js and React
- PostgreSQL, Supabase, deployment on Vercel or Railway
- Integrations with mailboxes, ERPs and third-party systems
- Automated tests and git-driven releases
- 02
AI where it actually pays off
We are not the company that puts a chatbot behind every button. We deploy AI on tasks where rules fall short — document reading, data extraction, classification. The rest stays deterministic so it can be explained.
- Reading PDFs, invoices, quotes and contracts into structured data
- Text matching and classification with manual correction built in
- Suggestions that a human always approves
- Cost control and clear limits on what the model may and may not do
- 03
Integrations and data migration
Data in three systems and a fourth on the way? We can connect them, extract the history and move it elsewhere — including systems that offer no official export.
- API integrations, including where documentation does not exist
- Full exports and backups of historical data
- Price and data tracking from supplier websites
- Transfers that can be re-run and run incrementally
How we work
Four steps in which it either pays off or we stop
- 01
A day with you
We walk through how the work actually happens today — not how it should. Most problems show up in what people do by hand for the second time.
- 02
Scope and price up front
You get a description of what will be built, in what order and at what price. Not an estimate that triples along the way.
- 03
First version within a month
Not a slide deck but a running application with your data. From then on decisions are made from usage, not speculation.
- 04
Operations and evolution
Software keeps living. We keep it running, fix it and add what practice shows to be necessary.
Is there a process held together by one person?
Tell us what slows your operation down the most. We will come back with an estimate of what could be done — including whether it is worth doing at all.
