Ownership
Own your future.
Stop paying for software you do not own. Licences go up, the dependency grows and the code is never yours.
The price per user rises again. The support contract costs more than it has ever delivered. The customisation that should have taken a month took six, and when you want to switch, your data is in a format only the vendor understands.
After years of fees you own nothing: not the code, not the roadmap, and sometimes not even your own data in a form you can use.
There is another way.
AI has changed what it costs to build software. Solutions that used to need large teams and long projects can now be built by a small team, in less time and to a high standard.
But AI is not the solution in itself. AI gives you speed. The architecture, and who owns the solution, decide whether that speed becomes an advantage for you or just a new kind of lock-in.
We start with a TCO analysis
We work out what your current SaaS really costs over time and compare it with what it would cost to build and run a solution you own. You get the numbers and an honest answer. Sometimes the answer is to keep what you have.
- Licences and price increases per user and year
- Customisation, integrations and consulting hours
- Support, maintenance and internal time
- Lock-in: what it costs to switch, and what you cannot do today
And if you want to build, we build it. With AI-accelerated development under experienced engineers we deliver faster, with tests and documentation, and often at a lower total cost over time. You own the code. You own the data. You set the direction.
Software built for your business, on your terms.

From analysis to systems in production.
Six ways we help companies with 1 to 500 employees. Most of our customers have between 5 and 50.
TCO analysis: SaaS or your own
Do the maths first
What does your current system really cost, and what would your own solution cost? A decision basis with numbers.
System development and architecture
Built to last
Custom business systems and integrations with an architecture you can maintain and build on.
Connected services and devices
From sensor to app
Machines, vehicles, sensors and buildings connected to apps and alerts that give you a live overview.
AI agents in your business
Automation with control
Agents that handle recurring work, connected to your systems, with an owner, limited access and a cost ceiling.
Apps and web services
Mobile, web and SaaS
Mobile apps, customer portals and web services, from first version to production.
Generative AI advisory
Where does AI help you?
We help leadership find where AI actually saves time or money, and what should wait.
System development and software architecture
Architecture decides what a system costs in five years.
Building fast is easy. Building something you can still change, understand and trust after five years is harder. That is where architecture makes the difference.
We build modules with clear boundaries, open APIs and data in formats you can take with you. AI agents write much of the code, but an experienced architect owns the design and reviews every part before it goes live.
- Business systems, customer portals and internal tools
- Integration with the systems you already have, such as finance, CRM and Microsoft 365
- Tests and documentation from the start, so others can take over
- Modernising older systems step by step, without stopping the business
Connected services and devices
Get your machines, sensors and vehicles talking to you.
Most things that move or measure can send data today: machines, vehicles, meters, alarms and buildings. The value appears when that data reaches a service that shows the current state, alerts you when something is off and helps you decide.
We build the whole chain: from the device and data collection, through the cloud service, to the app or dashboard your staff and customers use.
- Collecting, storing and displaying data from devices and sensors
- Live maps, status boards and mobile alerts
- Links to your business systems, so the data is useful in the workflow
- Security, updates and operations planned from the start
How we work
Business first. Technology second.
Start from the business
What do you want to change, such as cost, lead time or quality, and how will we measure it? Not which technology is fashionable.
Build small, test early
A focused first version you test with real users. AI writes much of the code, with tests first and review before anything ships.
Controls from day one
Every AI agent gets an owner, limited access, monitoring, a budget and a way to switch it off.
You take over, or we run it
We work with your people until they can run and improve it themselves, or we run it for you.
Who we work with
For companies that want to own their software.
We work with companies from one to 500 employees, most often with those that have between 5 and 50. You have no development team of your own, or a small one, and need a partner who understands the business and can build.
- You talk directly to the person who designs and builds, with no middlemen
- Clear stages, so you know what you get before the next step
- Meetings in Västerås and the Mälardalen region, or online across Sweden
Coached for 30 years
We know how people get better.
Our founder has coached for more than 30 years: Brazilian jiu-jitsu and ju-jutsu to black-belt level, professional MMA fighters, and CrossFit athletes up to the CrossFit Games.
That shapes how we work. Clear goals, honest feedback, small steps that add up, and calm when things go wrong. We bring the same approach to your projects.

Questions
What customers usually ask us.
Is building your own more expensive than buying SaaS?
Sometimes, sometimes not. A standard service that fits you well is often the cheapest. But when licences, customisation and support keep growing, your own solution can become cheaper over time, especially now that AI has lowered the cost of building. A TCO analysis shows which applies to you.
What is included in a TCO analysis?
We go through your current costs for licences, customisation, integrations, support and maintenance, and what lock-in costs you. We compare that with an estimated cost to build and run your own solution. You get a written report with numbers and our recommendation.
What does AI-accelerated development mean?
AI agents write much of the code and tests, while an experienced architect plans the work, owns the design and reviews the result. That lets us deliver faster without dropping quality.
Do we own the code and the data?
Yes. What we build for you is yours: source code, documentation and data. You can run it yourselves, have us run it, or change supplier.
Which companies do you work with?
Swedish companies with one to 500 employees, most often 5 to 50. They often have no development team of their own, or a small team that needs reinforcement.
Can you connect it to the systems we already have?
Yes, as long as the systems have an API or an export. Finance systems, CRM, Microsoft 365, sensors and machines are common examples.
Where are you based?
In Västerås, Sweden. We are happy to meet customers in Västerås and the Mälardalen region, and work online with customers across Sweden.
