How much does software development in Munich cost?

Software development costs vary depending on the project scope. For individual SaaS solutions, CRM systems, or automation projects, I am happy to provide a non-binding quote. Contact me for a free initial consultation.

How long does a software project take?

The project duration depends on the scope. Simple automations can be implemented in 2-4 weeks, while complex SaaS platforms or CRM migrations can take several months. After an initial conversation, I can provide a realistic timeframe.

What technologies are used for software development?

I work with modern technologies such as Python, React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js. For automations, I use n8n and Odoo. The technology choice depends on the specific requirements of your project.

Do you also offer IT consulting?

Yes, in addition to software development, I also offer IT consulting and strategic consulting for digital transformation. This includes technology selection, process optimization, and project management.

Can I hire you for short-term projects?

Yes, I am flexible and can be hired for both long-term projects and short-term assignments such as workflow automations, data migrations, or technical consulting.

What is AI implementation for SMEs?

AI implementation for SMEs means the strategic introduction of artificial intelligence into business processes. This includes use case identification, pilot projects, and step-by-step scaling. The focus is on pragmatic solutions with measurable ROI.

How much does process automation with n8n or Make cost?

The costs for process automation vary greatly. Simple workflows start at €2,000-5,000, more complex multi-system integrations can cost €15,000-50,000. Ongoing tool costs range from €20-500/month depending on volume.

How do I measure the ROI of automation?

The ROI of automation is calculated by: (Annual savings - Annual costs) / Total investment × 100. Typical savings include time savings, reduced error costs, and scalability. A well-planned automation project typically pays for itself within 6-12 months.
