Appfront in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the technological heart of the Netherlands. As a software company with an office on the Westerdoksdijk, we sit at the centre of an ecosystem of innovative businesses, start-ups and enterprise organisations shaping the digital transition.

Our office at Westerdoksdijk 599, 1013 BX Amsterdam was a deliberate choice. It is a short walk from Amsterdam Centraal, easy to reach by public transport or car, and right in the heart of a neighbourhood where technology and creativity come together. That makes in-person meetings, workshops and joint sprint reviews easy to arrange.

We believe the best software comes from combining technical craftsmanship with domain knowledge. That is why we invest in personal contact: we understand your industry, your processes and your audience before we write a single line of code. Those short lines of communication are a deliberate part of how we work.

Amsterdam also gives us access to a large and diverse talent pool. From AI researchers and data engineers to UX designers and full-stack developers, the concentration of technical talent in the capital is unmatched in the Netherlands. That translates directly into the quality of the work we deliver.

How we work

Every project starts with understanding your situation and ends with working software in production. We work in agile two-week sprints, with transparent communication and working interim results. That way you can see progress, steer where needed and always know where the project stands.

1

Discovery

We start with a free consultation in which we map out your goals, processes and technical environment. This results in a clear plan covering scope, architecture and timeline.

2

Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes make the end result tangible before we start building. You give feedback on the user experience and visual design.

3

Development

In two-week sprints we build working software. Each sprint delivers a demo that you can test and review, so we can adjust quickly where needed.

4

Launch and ongoing development

After a thorough testing phase, the software goes live. We monitor performance, resolve any issues quickly and continue developing new functionality whenever your organisation asks for it.
