01 · Custom development
Your custom web application, developed in Switzerland.
We design, develop and run custom applications for businesses: internal tools, client portals, APIs, automations, infrastructure. And when advice is all you need, we consult too. Laravel specialists, we have been running our own services at scale since 2008, and that changes how we build.
Services
What we deliver
Web applications
Internal tools, client portals, SaaS platforms, real-time dashboards: robust, fast applications that are pleasant to use and built to last.
APIs and integrations
Make your systems talk to each other: ERP, CRM, accounting, e-commerce, third-party services. Less re-typing, fewer errors.
Artificial intelligence
Business assistants, automatic document processing, classification, data extraction: measurable gains on specific tasks.
Automation
The repetitive tasks of your back office, executed without intervention: reports, reminders, synchronisations, checks.
Infrastructure and hosting
Servers, Kubernetes clusters, backups, monitoring. In Switzerland with Infomaniak, in Europe or anywhere in the world with our partners, or on your own infrastructure.
Maintenance and evolution
Software lives. We handle updates, security, performance and new features, with transparent follow-up.
Consulting and audits
Need advice rather than a project?
Not everything calls for development. Sometimes you simply need someone from the trade to look at your IT or your software with fresh eyes, say what holds, what is likely to fail, and where to start.
We have run our own services since 2008 and apply that eye to our own systems every day. You leave with concrete recommendations, to apply yourself, with your current provider or with us.

Process
From first conversation to production
- 01
Scoping
A conversation to understand the need, then a clear proposal: scope, milestones, budget.
- 02
Prototype
A usable first version within weeks, to validate choices on something real.
- 03
Development
Regular, tested deliveries you can follow from your client area.
- 04
Operations
Go-live, monitoring, maintenance and new features as your needs evolve.
Working together
Consulting, fixed price or time and materials, fully transparent
One-off advice is handled as consulting, well-defined projects are quoted at a fixed price, evolving needs are billed on time spent. Either way, you follow progress, hours and invoices from your client area on swissops.ch.
Consulting
An experienced look at your IT or your software, with no development project attached. You leave with concrete recommendations.
- One-off session or full audit
- Written report, clear priorities
- No obligation to continue
Fixed price
A scope defined together, a price known before we start, milestones delivered and validated.
- Scoping and detailed quote
- Fixed price, no surprises
- Delivery in stages
Time and materials
For needs that evolve: you set the priorities, we bill the time actually spent, with full transparency.
- Priorities adjustable every week
- Hours visible in your client area

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Where are you based, and who do you work with?
- In Renens, in the canton of Vaud, a few minutes from Lausanne. We build custom web applications for businesses across French-speaking Switzerland and beyond, in French and in English.
- How much does a custom web application cost?
- It depends on its scope. After a first conversation you receive a clear proposal: scope, milestones and budget. A well-defined project is done at a fixed price agreed before we start; a need that keeps evolving is billed on a time basis, for the time actually spent.
- How soon is a first version available?
- A usable first version is ready within weeks, so you can decide on something real. Regular, tested deliveries follow until go-live, and you can see each one in your client area.
- Which technologies do you use?
- Laravel is our specialty and the foundation of most of what we build. We pair it with React and TypeScript for interfaces, PostgreSQL and Redis for data, Docker and Kubernetes for operations. Our own websites run on the same foundation.
- Where will my application be hosted?
- Wherever your constraints require: in Switzerland with Infomaniak, elsewhere in Europe or the world with our partners, or on your own infrastructure. We then handle updates, security, monitoring and new features.
- Can you audit an existing application?
- Yes, whether it was built in-house or by a supplier. The audit covers code, security, performance, technical debt and documentation. You leave with concrete recommendations to apply yourself, with your current supplier or with us.
