Custom software built around how your business actually works
Your logic. Your edge cases. Your system.
We build software for companies whose processes do not fit a product you can buy. Business logic, integrations, internal tools, systems that carry real work every day. Scoped with you, built by seniors, handed over documented. Based in Vienna, working with clients across Europe.
Zurich Insurance, epunkt and Asko run on software we built.
Custom Software Development in Vienna.
Off-the-shelf software is a good deal right up to the point where your business does something specific. Then it becomes a spreadsheet on the side, a manual step nobody documented, and a workaround that three people know about. Custom software is what you build when that workaround starts costing more than the tool saved.
We run the whole lifecycle. Scoping the requirements until the ambiguity is gone, designing the architecture, building it, testing it, and handing it over with documentation your own team can work from. When a project touches an existing system, we map what is already there before we touch anything.
The work we take on tends to be the awkward kind. Complex business rules, document processing, integrations with systems that were never designed to be integrated with, and data volumes that break naive implementations. That is the work we are good at.
If the shape of the product is still open, start with prototyping or an MVP. If it is web-facing, see web development, and if it belongs on a phone, app development.
What you get with Dotbite as your development partner
- Requirements scoped properly. We keep asking until the ambiguity is gone.
- Architecture decided up front. Designed for the load you will have in three years.
- Complex logic handled. Business rules, document processing, awkward integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does custom software development cost?
Every project is priced on its actual requirements. At Dotbite we work those out with you in a requirements phase, then quote a fixed price against the written specification. For systems we keep developing over years, a framework agreement might even make more sense.
How long does development take?
Small applications can be usable in about four weeks. Systems with complex business logic, integrations and many user roles run twelve weeks or more. Scope decides it, which is why we work in phases and put something usable in front of you early.
How does the collaboration work during development?
You see working software throughout instead of a status report. We deliver in phases, each ending with something you can try, and the developers building it are the ones you talk to. Questions get answered in days rather than through a project manager.
Do you work agile or with a fixed price?
Both, and they fit together. The specification defines the scope and the fixed price, the delivery inside it runs in short cycles so priorities can shift. If something genuinely new comes up, we price it separately and you decide whether it goes in now or later.
What do we get at handover?
The full repository, the documentation, the deployment setup and a walkthrough with your team. Everything is yours, with no licence fee and no dependency on us. Most clients keep us on for maintenance because we already know the system, though nothing requires it.
