We are a software developer and sparring partner. Many suppliers deliver software as standalone deliverables: a webshop, a back-end, a mobile app. Neatly handed over, and then it's over. We work differently. For us, software is a chain: the front-end talks to the back-end, the back-end talks to integrations, the integrations talk to your existing systems, and everything runs on infrastructure that has to be maintainable. We help manage that chain, or, for the part we don't build ourselves, we coordinate closely with your existing IT partners.
In practice, this means we don't start with a feature list but with a conversation about what the software needs to solve, for whom, and how it fits with what you already have. A sprint typically lasts a few weeks, during which we combine design and build work. Delivery takes place in your own Git repository, with code your own team can maintain, backed by a proper handover or an ongoing maintenance contract.
We prefer to work directly with the people who will use the software later on. With clients in Purmerend and Waterland, that is often the owner, the managing director or an operational manager. No middle layer, no account manager passing on the real work. Fabian van Dijk (fabian.vandijk@appfront.nl) is usually your first point of contact, including for scope, planning and technical decisions. For in-depth sessions, our engineers, architects and designers join in as needed.
We're honest about what we're not: we're not a body shop, an offshore vehicle or a Big Four consultancy. We work with SMEs up to mid-sized enterprises that want a committed partner who builds and keeps building. If that sounds right, a half-hour introductory call is usually enough to find out together.
