AccueilAgentic Custom Build for SMEs

Custom software, built by supervised AI agents and senior ELCA engineers. Production-ready in weeks, Swiss quality, and yours to own. A monthly subscription instead of a large upfront investment.

Software that fits your business. Without the big upfront bill.

Standard software rarely fits a mid-sized company exactly. So you bend your process to the software, fill the gaps with Excel, or pay to customize a product that fights you on every update and ties you to one vendor. Real custom software would fit, but it was always too expensive and too slow. That trade-off kept good software out of reach for most Swiss SMEs. 

Agentic software engineering changes the economics. AI agents carry out the detailed build work across the whole lifecycle, while experienced ELCA engineers supervise every step. The result is a real production system, in weeks, at a price an SME can carry, often with no upfront investment. Not a faster way to make throwaway demos. A faster, more affordable way to deliver software you own. 

 

Our guiding principle is simple: AI at the edges, certainty at the core. Agents accelerate the work, our engineers stay accountable, and the system is built to Swiss quality, hosted in Switzerland when your data must stay here. 

What you get

  • Software around your process, not the other way round. We build to fit how you actually work. 

  • No big upfront cost. A monthly subscription that includes hosting, maintenance and support. Prefer to pay upfront? Then the monthly fee is lower. Your choice. 

  • Production in weeks, not months. A working system your team really uses, fast. 

  • You own it. Clean, maintainable code, no vendor lock-in. Your own or any capable team can continue it. 

  • Escape the standard-software trap. Replace costly customization of a product that never quite fits. 

  • Swiss quality and sovereignty. Senior engineers, ISO 27001 security, and Swiss hosting when required. 

Our approach and services

From a short, low-cost first step to a full system in production. Each step stands on its own, depending on where you are today. 

  • Process check (entry point). A short, fixed-price look at where custom software would help most, with a realistic scope. The natural first step when standard software no longer fits. 

  • Custom build over buy. Replace ill-fitting standard software with a system that fits your processes, on a flexible subscription model that avoids a large upfront investment. 

  • Production system in weeks. A working application in real use in a few weeks, not a slideware demo. 

  • Maintenance and evolution. We keep your system current and well documented, with agents flagging technical debt so your investment stays healthy. 

AI in action (proof)

Client names are anonymized until naming permission is confirmed. 

  • A Swiss industrial company: a custom system delivered and taken live in about six weeks, where a traditional small team would have needed around four months. On time and on budget. 

  • A Swiss railway company: a large, business-critical legacy application modernized to a current stack, several times faster than traditional development, with clean, maintainable code. 

  • A greenfield enterprise platform: a complete event-management platform built with the agentic method and presented at the BATbern conference, showing the approach works for new builds too. 

Why ELCA?

  • Production, not demos. We deliver real systems in real use, built on decades of mission-critical delivery.

  • Humans accountable, agents accelerating. Senior engineers own every architectural and quality decision.

  • Build over buy, finally practical for SMEs. Agent-native delivery collapses the old trade-off between fit and affordability.

  • Reversible and maintainable. Human-quality code, no lock-in. Your team can continue it.

  • Swiss quality, security and sovereignty. ISO 27001, Swiss hosting options, strict IP protection.

  • One ecosystem. Backed by the full ELCA Group, more than 50 years of Swiss engineering.
