Custom Software – as unique as Your Business.

According to current studies, over 40 percent of Swiss companies plan to optimize their processes with the help of digitalization and automation. Standard software often reaches its limits when processes are too complex or too individual. The consequences are growing system landscapes, manual detours, and increasing maintenance costs.

Custom Software Development refers to the creation of software that is precisely tailored to the processes, data, and requirements of a company. This is in contrast to standard software with predefined functions.

soxes develops solutions that do not yet exist in this form: applications that map the processes of your company instead of forcing them into predefined structures. The result is Web Apps and software solutions that simplify processes and make investments profitable in the long term.

Companies that invest early in custom business software create the basis for operational excellence: systems remain lean, traceable, and expandable. Instead of maintaining grown Excel or Access constructs for years, a stable digital foundation is created that supports the processes.

Why Custom Software?

Our CEO Patrick Büchler shows you in the video what matters and why custom solutions are really worthwhile.

Operating costs are constantly rising. Therefore, every investment counts double today: it must pay off quickly and have a sustainable effect. But while many rely on existing software products, others deliberately invest in custom software solutions and achieve greater long-term savings.

Standard software maps generic processes that rarely fit internal workflows exactly. Adjustments, add-on modules, or workarounds drive up the effort and cost. A custom Web App, on the other hand, is developed along the actual requirements. That is, where processes really take place.

Companies that invest in custom software development not only improve their productivity but also reduce operating costs in the long term. Instead of investing in licenses or expensive customizations, the budget flows into a solution that fits their own structures exactly.

Many companies start with pragmatic solutions: an Excel file here, an Access database there, a macro for process support. Over the years, they are expanded, adapted, and supplemented with new functions. What was once efficient becomes a confusing monolith that hardly anyone understands and even fewer are happy to change.

A custom-developed Web App or software solution is designed from the outset to adapt to existing processes, and not the other way around. Architecture, data model, and interfaces are consciously planned, code quality is checked, and tests are automated. Changes remain traceable, scaling is predictable, and operation and further development are calculable.

While organically grown systems become more expensive and unstable every year, a thoughtfully developed software solution significantly lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in the long term. Investments in clean architecture, tests, and documentation pay off in the form of lower maintenance costs, higher security, and clear transparency over workflows and data flows.

At soxes, we create solutions that specifically replace or supplement standard software: Web Apps, portals, data platforms, planning systems, or integration solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing IT landscapes.

We develop software where processes are too specific for standard solutions, for example in production, logistics, quality assurance, financial administration, or process control. The spectrum ranges from reporting and analysis solutions, and order and maintenance planning, to AI-supported automations that interpret data and accelerate decisions.

Our development teams in Switzerland, Poland, and Vietnam work according to the same quality standards and CI/CD processes. This ensures stability, transparency, and plannable further development. Swiss project management keeps communication clear and implementation efficient, even for complex, multi-layered applications.

Technologically, we rely on proven and modern frameworks such as .NET, Angular, React, Django, or Python, combined with relational or document-based databases such as MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB.
We implement cloud solutions on Azure or AWS, always depending on security requirements, scalability, and the operating concept.

Our Approach: From Process Analysis to Stable Operation

Every custom software solution begins with a clear process recording. We analyze which workflows should be digitized, which systems need to be integrated, and where automation provides real value. Subsequently, we develop a technical concept and Proof of Concept to test architecture, interfaces, and user logic early on.

In projects for customers in Industry, Production, and Finance, soxes has repeatedly proven that custom software solutions lead to measurable efficiency:

• Emmi Group AG: An AI-supported application automates complex Data analyses that were previously performed manually.
• Inrate AG: An Access database was transformed into a scalable web app that automates and transparently provides Sustainability ratings.
• TESTEX AG: A manual certification matrix was turned into an intelligent Application with Microservices and automated Workflows, combining quality and efficiency.
• Electrolux AG: A custom web app digitizes service planning and reporting, including an offline function for full operational readiness in the field.
• TUS: A high-performance notification service automatically distributes system alarms via SMS, push, email, or voice, ensuring maximum reaction reliability.
• Civil Engineering Office of the Canton of Zug: A web-based and mobile application centrally manages all BSA elements and networks them with the SCADA systems in real time.

Is your standard software not enough? Many companies face the challenge that while ERP, CRM, or PPS systems cover basic functions, they are not flexible enough at crucial points. Important processes have to be mapped laboriously using Excel, manual workarounds, or additional tools. Often, manufacturers don’t offer suitable solutions, and internally, the resources, employees, or know-how for such adjustments are lacking.

We develop extensions that start exactly where standard solutions fail.

The solution? Extend instead of replace! Our solutions integrate smoothly into your existing architecture, close functional gaps, and optimize critical workflows.

Rely on a solution that adapts to your company—and not the other way around! Efficiency is just a call away!

Your ERP system reliably controls production and manages parts lists.
However, it quickly reaches its limits when dealing with dynamic processes such as automated machine connectivity, real-time monitoring, or predictive maintenance.

The Consequence? Employees have to manually record production data, maintenance cycles are planned based on fixed intervals instead of actual usage, and machines sit idle.

Custom-developed software extensions integrate precisely these missing functions directly into your existing system. This way, sensor data can be read out in real-time, maintenance intervals can be adjusted as needed, and production capacities can be dynamically optimized.

The Result: less downtime, higher efficiency, and digitally networked manufacturing—without having to replace your entire ERP system.
