ABOUT BROTCODECustom software for European SMBs. Berlin-based.
BrotCode specializes in creating custom software, SaaS solutions, and AI workflows for small and medium-sized businesses throughout Germany and Europe. Our mission is driven by the fact that 66% of IT projects result in partial or total failure, and we grew tired of experiencing that firsthand. Each project begins with a written scope document that you must approve before we start coding. We provide weekly demonstrations of functional software rather than just presentations. Our invoices align with the initial estimates. If there's a need to adjust the scope during the project, we renegotiate before proceeding. We ensure there are no unexpected developments. Our team consists of senior engineers, not project managers who simply pass your requests to junior developers. You'll communicate directly with the developers, which minimizes misunderstandings, accelerates decision-making, and results in software that aligns with your business needs. Our technology stack is intentionally straightforward: Rails, Python, React, and PostgreSQL—reliable tools that your team can easily hire and maintain long after we complete our work. We choose the technology based on the specific problem rather than what looks appealing at conferences. Our achievements include developing an internal operations platform that reduced processing time by 80% for a logistics firm with 85 employees, delivering a B2B SaaS MVP from kickoff to production in just 10 weeks, and automating processes that replaced 6 hours of weekly manual labor with a 20-minute workflow. Based in Berlin, we offer German contracts and operate with DSGVO-compliant infrastructure. We have experience with projects that meet BaFin regulatory standards and have practical knowledge of EU compliance beyond just theoretical checklists. Since 2019, we have successfully completed over 50 projects on budget without overcommitting. If we're not suitable for your needs, we’ll let you know during our initial conversation.
