Custom Software Development
Perfectly aligned with your needs: Custom software development with m.a.x. it is a solution for which standard software has no answer. Especially when a business is so unique that no commercial off-the-shelf software can sufficiently meet its requirements, m.a.x. it develops a custom software solution that precisely covers the desired requirements and processes.
This custom software, built from powerful software architecture, modern programming languages, and the interaction with professional tools, provides exactly the functionality that is truly needed. It connects to existing systems via automated interfaces, thereby delivering flexibility and future-proofing. Together, we proceed in a customer-oriented manner using roadmaps and agile methods to develop a solution through prototyping and mockups – absolutely tailor-made instead of off-the-shelf.
In Focus:
Custom Software Development
What are the advantages of custom software development compared to standard software?
With custom software, you receive a tailor-made solution and the best possible process support with high integration into your existing IT infrastructure – in short, an optimal solution for your IT requirements.
Isn't custom software development more expensive than standard software?
At first glance, perhaps yes; in the long run, a clear no. When considering the high level of process support and the optimization of business processes as a whole, plus the increased productivity of employees and customer satisfaction, custom software development clearly demonstrates its sustainable advantages.
When should I choose custom software development for a specific task?
If the requirements are so specific that standard software cannot fulfill them, or if complex and extensive customizing is necessary, then a custom solution is recommended. Upon request, we can provide neutral and SME-oriented advice based on our project experience to help you make this decision.
Is custom software development more future-proof than standard software?
Yes, a custom software solution can be adapted to your new requirements at any time and thus grows with your needs. This allows you to react quickly to new or changed processes and business models.
We have a specific task – how do we find a suitable software solution?
With our project experience, we provide holistic advice, keeping everything in view from process questions to future operation. By asking the right questions, we analyze your needs and work with you to develop a suitable solution in a targeted manner.
Our current software solution needs further development, but we lack contact with the software developer – how can we proceed?
For applications that have grown traditionally over time (legacy systems), an objective perspective opens up new solution paths for effective software. Upon request, we analyze the source code and work with you to implement your requirements.

Custom Software as a Competitive Advantage
Today, software is a key strategic element for products, services, and business models that creates “real” value. Sustainably designed software concepts are increasingly becoming a competitive advantage that leaves room for further products, services, and business models. Custom software development with m.a.x. it is a service that covers all nuances from consulting, planning, and conception, through programming, implementation, and quality testing, to the continuous further development of the software. As a reliable development partner and source of inspiration, we also demonstrate how custom software develops into a strategic advantage, precisely because processes and workflows can be equipped with more effectiveness and efficiency.
Your Solution, Your Added Value
For m.a.x. it, these points are crucial for the tailor-made development of custom software projects. To develop a precisely fitting solution for the customer that remains sustainable and scalable, one needs open and future-proof software development tools as well as a structured and tool-supported approach. Combined with methodical-agile software development and the goal of using flexible software architectures, the right solution concept is created for the respective problem.
Custom Software as a Tailor-Made Solution:
The development of custom software delivers exactly the desired functionality that is needed.
- With standard software, processes are adapted to the software; with custom software, the software is adapted to existing processes.
- Perfectly coordinated with the customer’s desired processes
- With custom software, more than just customizing is possible
- Competitive advantages through higher productivity due to more efficient processes
- The human factor: Higher satisfaction among customers and employees
Agile Software Development with Creative Methods:
To minimize risks and undesirable developments in the development process, we rely on agile methods and rapid iteration stages.
- Implementation in sprints every two to four weeks
- Regular “sprint plannings” and “sprint reviews” for successive results development
- Optional customer participation in dailies
- A mix of Agile and Waterfall – the best of both worlds
- Ongoing process control and monitoring with the right questions
Connection to existing systems guaranteed
All interfaces are taken into account with custom software.
- High integration capability into the backend
- Automation of processes that are currently handled manually
- Better integration possibilities for distributed systems
Flexibility and Future-Proofing
With custom software, you remain open to adjustments and further developments.
- Changed requirements are always feasible
- As an in-house development, all requirements can be implemented precisely or can be further developed later
Prototyping and Mockups
Wireframes, mockups, and prototypes are development stages of ideas that are effective for custom software.
- For analysis/conception, these tools improve acceptance and visualization on the customer side
- Creative conception from demo prototypes to “technical proof of concept”
- Regular reviews in agile sprints
- Transparency in the development stages
- Proactive involvement of the customer: they see the software at a very early stage
- Impression of the interface and the interaction of functions
- Guardrail principle for goal orientation
Tools and Development Languages
Programming languages, development environments, and tools for software development and software design are the tools of the trade for professional custom software development.
- CI (continuous integration) and CD (continuous delivery) in modern development processes and DevOps
- Source code and version control, e.g., with GIT
- Requirements management, e.g., with Jira or DevOps
- Style guide and programming guidelines
- Code reviews and code approvals
- DevOps documentation
- Unit tests, e.g., with MS Test, PHPUnit, JUnit
- Software development languages .NET, PHP, and Java
- Frameworks for SW development: .NET, Blazor, Symfony, Spring / Spring Boot
