Software development from Cologne: agile teams, just for you
Whether you want a new development or want to modernise an existing application: Our well-established Scrum teams in Cologne will help you find the customised software that will give your company the decisive edge.
Whether new development or software modernisation: we do it with you!
You have the idea of what your software product must be able to do in order to perfectly meet your individual requirements. We have the cross-functional team that implements exactly what you need - whether it's a completely new development or the optimisation of an existing web-based software. From the vision to the rollout and beyond, we are available to you as your software development from Cologne throughout the country and work with you to develop a solution that fits you like a glove.
We love agile development. And teamwork.
Cologne, 1999: When we started brainbits, software development was our first service - our first great love, so to speak, and not least the basis of our success as a company. That is why we are particularly attached to this area! But that doesn't mean that we stand still. On the contrary: over the years, our Scrum teams have fully committed themselves to the agile way of working and are constantly and joyfully developing, both professionally and methodically. This enables them to not always follow the same well-worn path when developing your software, but the best one in each case! For us, this means: the most logical, simplest and sustainable one for your context.

Your exclusive team of experts is only interested in your software.
To develop your software product, one of our agile, interdisciplinary Scrum teams is exclusively available to you and dedicated to your project with sole focus. Our professionals know that you can't develop perfectly fitting software from a bird's eye view. You need a deep understanding of the internal processes and requirements, and this is achieved by listening, understanding, questioning and sparring.
Here's how we do it:
Your team is on the job for you until go-live and will not be distracted by anything until our joint project is completed. Once your vision has been sharpened and checked for technical feasibility, we record the requirements of the stakeholders. We identify the functions that deliver the greatest possible benefit with the least possible development effort and get started! In the process, we always have the user experience on our radar and like to set new standards.
Our agile development teams work closely with our DevOps specialists, who use largely automated deployment pipelines and modern microservice architectures to ensure that new functions are transferred directly, uninterruptedly and securely into operation. After all, one goal of agile development is to continuously incorporate new (partial) functions into the software, which you can then try out immediately. Of course, the evaluation of the new components in the interaction of the overall application only works with an executable version. That's why we integrate an automated test management system that ensures that code errors are noticed immediately and can be corrected. Through careful architectural planning, we ensure the stability and security of the product, even though changes are constantly being made to its functions.
All-round care for your software.
Experienced in working with our customers, our agile development teams go on the journey with you throughout the entire product lifecycle. For us, this means that we are also there for you after the rollout, supporting you in everyday use if you wish and providing you with individual introduction and onboarding concepts. Even more: we create your software products with technological sustainability in mind and are happy to develop them further for you at any time.
