Dev Station Technology

Business software

Business software for teams that cannot afford a second failed vendor

ERP, finance and workflow systems, built by a team that has taken over a failed project and shipped it. Dedicated teams, fixed-price work, or both on one roster.

What this is

Most of this work starts somewhere already broken

A critical project, a vendor that missed deadlines, code nobody trusts. The first job is to stabilise it and document what exists, and only then to add features.

Two kinds of work on one team

A dedicated core team carries the main project while a rapid-response team takes ad-hoc fixed-price jobs.

Communication is part of the build

English-fluent engineers, plus training in how a German product owner works.

Services

What we build for business teams

Project recovery

Audit, document and stabilise a project another vendor left, before anything new ships.

ERP and finance modules

Sales, projects, invoicing, expenses and HR on one data model.

Workflow automation

Approvals and hand-offs that stop living in email.

Customer and sales systems

Pipeline, accounts and follow-up with the cost side attached.

Reporting and analytics

Dashboards built from live data, with no monthly export to wait for.

Integration into what you run

The new system has to talk to the ones you keep.

Constraints

What shapes a business software build

One is a date that has already started and two are lessons from a recovery.

Making Tax Digital for Income TaxBegan 6 April 2026 for people with qualifying income over £50,000, falls to £30,000 in April 2027 and £20,000 in April 2028. Quarterly updates have to come from compatible software.
Quarterly, cumulative updatesEach update summarises three months of income and expenses and replaces the one before. A final return is still due by 31 January.
Inherited codeA project taken from a failed vendor starts with an audit and documentation, so the client owns it again before new work begins.
Hybrid engagementsA dedicated team and ad-hoc fixed-price work can share one roster, which shortens the wait for small jobs.
Case study

A recovery, then a core team

Core development team built by Dev Station for a German cloud-native company
Cloud-native software, Germany

Core development team for a German company

A German cloud-native company with 500+ technology professionals inherited a critical project from a failed vendor. We built a core team with a project manager, technical lead, full-stack developers, QA and a business analyst, plus a rapid-response team for ad-hoc fixed-price work.

FAQs

What buyers ask first

Should we build or buy an ERP?

Buy, unless your process does not fit one. We build when the workflow is specific, when the data has to join several systems, or when per-seat pricing stops adding up.

Can you take over a project another vendor started?

Yes, and it is a large part of our work. The first step is documenting what exists so you own it again. Rewriting waits until that is done.

How do dedicated and fixed-price work fit together?

A dedicated core team carries the main project and a rapid-response team takes the ad-hoc jobs, so small requests do not wait for a new contract.

Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?

You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts stay in your name.
