We build software as if we still had to run it ourselves in ten years.
We have been running ours since 2012.
Since 2012 we have been building and operating LingoHub — a software product used daily by customers across three continents. That experience goes into every system we build for our clients.
Built in Linz. Working across Europe.
Our team sits in Linz, Austria. Our clients sit in Austria, Germany and further afield. We work remotely by default, but we come to see you — and you can come and see us.
Servers in the EU. Contracts under Austrian law. Someone to talk to in your own time zone.

Most software projects don’t fail during the build. They fail afterwards.
Go-live gets celebrated, the project team dissolves, the vendor moves on. Two years later nobody wants to touch the code. Four years later someone asks whether it wouldn’t be cheaper to start over.
We know that curve — and we had to escape it. Our own product has been running since 2012. We could never rely on someone else cleaning up the mess. That’s why we build differently.
Four services. One attitude.
Custom Software
Systems that match your processes, instead of processes bent to fit standard software. From architecture to production operation.
AI Integration
Language models, automation and machine learning where they deliver measurable value. In production, not in a prototype. GDPR-compliant, optionally without data ever leaving your premises.
Software Modernisation
When a system is too important to switch off and too old to extend. We modernise incrementally, in live operation, without big-bang risk.
Run & Evolve
The years after go-live are the real work. We take over maintenance, security, monitoring and continuous development — including systems we didn’t build.
Operational responsibility since 2012. At our own expense.
LingoHub is a translation management platform we founded in 2012 and still build, run and sell ourselves. It has survived three technology generations, the GDPR transition, multiple security audits, scaling phases, and the introduction of AI translation in live operation. We paid for every shortcut we ever took. That leaves a mark.
- We think in operating costs, not project costs.
- We know what a badly chosen framework costs after seven years — we paid that bill ourselves.
- Maintainability is not an option here. It is a precondition.
- Our code has to be readable by people who were not with us in 2012. It is.
- We use AI where it pays off.
- Machine translation and AI-assisted quality checks run in production in LingoHub, for paying customers.
- Security and data protection are daily routine, not a project phase.
- As a SaaS provider with international customers, we are audited regularly.
- We will still be here in five years.
- We have been here since 2012. With the same founders.
You don’t have to begin with a large project.
Three clearly defined entry points at a fixed price. Each one delivers a written result that stays useful to you even if you carry on with someone else.
Technical Review
We look at your existing system and deliver a written assessment: condition, risks, estimated modernisation effort, concrete next steps.

We examine your processes for AI use cases and deliver a prioritised list with effort, expected benefit and a data protection classification. Including the cases we advise against.

For new systems: requirements, architecture design, a clickable prototype and a cost range you can plan with. Afterwards you know what you are building and what it costs.

Tell us what is not working.
A first conversation takes 30 minutes, costs nothing and ends with an honest assessment — including when that assessment is that we are not the right fit.
