Technology consulting
Buy a ready-made tool, connect your existing systems or build a custom solution? We help compare these options before you invest. We examine your team’s needs, implementation and maintenance costs, and the limits of each option. You receive a recommendation with its reasoning and a plan for the first stage to discuss with budget holders.
Discuss your optionsUnderstand the costs and trade-offs before deciding
You know what can be reused, what you will pay for and which constraints come with each choice. You can commission the analysis separately and use the findings to plan implementation with us or your own team.
What you receive
- Goals and decision criteria agreed with your team
- An assessment of what can be reused and what limits further development
- A comparison of existing tools and custom software: costs, risks and constraints
- A recommendation, priorities and an initial scope of work
Where we can help
Planning a new system
We help identify the features you need, which to build first and what their implementation depends on.
Choosing whether to buy or build
We compare off-the-shelf products, integration of your existing tools and custom software, including ongoing development and maintenance.
Reviewing an existing solution
We identify what is holding changes back and where investment makes sense. Our recommendations are based on reviewing the system and talking to your team.
Imker: a system plan built around the order workflow
At Imker, a purchase triggers payment, warehouse work, shipping or digital access, and settlement. Analysing these dependencies defines statuses, exceptions and responsibilities in the OMS. This is how we turn the team’s daily work into the scope of a solution.

Imker: from the order workflow to the scope of the OMS
View project: ImkerThe system we develop with Software Logic has already processed millions of orders and made packing much easier for us. We regularly review progress and plan the next features together. We appreciate that the team keeps its commitments, tests changes carefully and suggests ways to improve our daily work.
Getting started and what to expect
You can commission the first stage on its own. We agree on the work and its cost before starting, and you decide what comes next based on the results. If you already have a specification or assessment, we use it to plan the work.
Review of your needs and existing tools
An analysis of a selected problem with your team produces a list of requirements, constraints in current tools and decision criteria. This identifies which options are worth comparing in more detail.
Comparison of options
You receive a comparison of existing tools, integrations and custom development, including costs, limitations and dependencies. We recommend an option and explain the choice.
A plan for the first stage
We define priorities, scope and acceptance criteria. You have a basis for a budget decision and a list of questions that still need checking.

Illustrative example: a short extract for a fictional scenario. It shows how findings can be presented, rather than results from a client project. We agree on the deliverables before work begins.
How can we reduce manual order entry?
The team uses an online store and a warehouse system. Both tools serve their purpose, but orders are transferred between them manually.
- Ready-made connector
- First check support for order amendments and retries after a failed transfer. Include subscription fees and changes to the current workflow in the cost comparison.
- Custom integration
- Keeps both systems in place and allows tailored handling of exceptions. Requires confirmed data access, an implementation estimate and agreement on who maintains the connection.
- New system
- Requires data migration and changes to how people work. In this scenario, consider it if the existing tools also limit other important tasks.
- Recommendation
- First test a ready-made connector with a standard order, an amendment and a retry after a failure. If it handles these cases, compare its total cost with building and maintaining a custom integration.
Frequently asked questions
Tell us what you want to change, which tools you use and what is causing difficulties. Examples from day-to-day work are helpful. You do not need a specification. Together, we will identify what to investigate so we can compare solutions and plan the first stage.
Compare your options before investing
Describe the decision you face, your current tools and the options you are considering. We will agree on the questions to investigate and the materials needed to compare alternatives.
After reading your message, we will follow up with questions and suggest a conversation about scope and pricing.
