Web apps, internal portals and SaaS tools that fit your processes exactly – instead of spreadsheet chaos, isolated tools and license fees for features nobody uses. We build with integrations to SharePoint, Google Drive, CRM and databases, and add AI agents and workflow automation on request – GDPR-ready, documented and free of vendor lock-in.

Web Apps & Internal Portals

Applications for your team: data entry, planning, approvals – available anywhere in the browser.

Example: A scheduling portal replaces three spreadsheets and shows every crew only their own jobs.

Off-the-shelf or custom?

When custom software is actually worth it

Not every problem needs custom development. But when your process is what makes your business, per-user license costs keep climbing or no tool connects your systems, software you own pays for itself.

Read the cost guide

Off-the-shelf

When the process is industry-standard and you can adapt to the tool – quick to start, but per-user fees and hard limits on edge cases.

Custom software

When the process is your competitive edge: workflows that fit exactly, full data ownership, no per-seat licenses – the code is yours.

Hybrid

Keep your standard tools and close the gaps with custom building blocks and automation – often the most economical path.

Process

From requirements workshop to managed operations

Requirements workshop & clickable prototype

We map your workflows, clarify roles and systems, and turn that into a clickable prototype. Everyone involved sees early what the software will look like – before a single line of production code is written.

MVP scoping: what's essential, what can wait?

Together we prioritize: which features solve the core problem, which come later? That keeps the entry affordable and gets the software into real use quickly – instead of an endless wish list.

Development in short iterations

You regularly see working increments with real data and give feedback directly. Integrations with SharePoint, CRM or databases are built in from the start – not bolted on as an afterthought.

Launch, hardening & handover

Before go-live: tests, error handling, a roles and permissions concept, documentation. You receive the source code and a handover that lets your team understand and operate the solution.

Operations & continuous development

On request we take over hosting, monitoring and new features as a subscription – with defined response times. Or your team takes over completely: the code and documentation are yours.

Questions & Answers

Custom software – frequently asked

How much does custom software cost at Lyron?

The entry point is the software MVP from €4,900 one-time – including a requirements workshop, a clickable prototype and implementation as a web app, internal portal or SaaS tool. Larger projects are quoted transparently by effort, and ongoing operations are available as a subscription. All details on our pricing page.

How long does it take to ship the MVP?

Typically 3–8 weeks, depending on scope. After the requirements workshop you first see a clickable prototype, then we develop in short iterations – so you see results early and can adjust course at any time.

Who owns the source code?

You do. You receive the complete source code with documentation and a proper handover – no vendor lock-in. You can continue development in-house, hand it to a third party or keep it with us as a subscription.

Web app, internal portal or SaaS tool – which one fits us?

A web app solves one concrete job for your team, an internal portal bundles data and workflows for many employees, and a SaaS tool makes your solution available to customers or partners as well. Many projects start as a lean web app and grow from there – we design the architecture for that from day one.

Custom software or off-the-shelf – which is worth it?

Off-the-shelf software wins when a process is industry-standard and you can adapt to the tool. Custom software pays off when the process is your competitive edge, per-user license costs keep climbing or no tool connects your systems. For an honest decision aid with realistic price ranges, read our cost guide.

Can the software integrate with our existing systems?

Yes – that is the core of our approach: integration with SharePoint, Google Drive, CRM systems and existing databases via APIs. On request we add AI features such as RAG knowledge bases, chat or agents – and connect the software with your automations.

Is the software GDPR-compliant and where does it run?

We develop GDPR-compliant, including a roles and permissions concept. Hosting follows your requirements – in your own infrastructure or in the cloud region of your choice. Your data stays where you decide.

Does Lyron work with companies outside Europe?

Yes. We work fully remote with clients worldwide, including the United States – in English or German, with documentation, training and support included. Meetings are scheduled to overlap with your time zone.
