Software development in Munich. Custom software shaped around your business.
Sortia Labs is a software studio in Munich. We build custom software for companies: web applications, Android apps, backends, integrations and automation. No template kit, but code that fits your workflows and that you can still maintain in five years.
What we build
Web applications and portals
Customer portals, internal tools, admin interfaces and progressive web apps in PHP, Python or JavaScript. Responsive, fast, accessible.
Android apps
Native Android apps with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, from concept through Play Store release to maintenance. Our own apps LOMA, Tempo and Box show what that looks like.
Interfaces and integration
REST and GraphQL APIs, connections to ERP, CRM, DATEV, payment providers and government portals. Even where the only interface is a CSV file on an FTP server.
Legacy modernisation
Moving old PHP, Java or Access applications step by step into a maintainable architecture, without a big bang and without downtime.
Automation with Python
Data imports, reports, document processing, notifications: scripts and services that take over recurring work, with AI where it helps.
Security and compliance
Authentication, roles, encryption, audit logging. Experience from banking IT, where traceability is mandatory.
Technologies
How your software gets built
Requirements
We talk to the people who will use the software every day, not only to procurement. The result is a specification in plain language.
Prototype
A clickable prototype in two weeks. You see interface and flow before a single line of backend code is written.
Development
Short iterations, a runnable version on a test system every week. Automated tests and code review included.
Operation
Deployment, monitoring, backups and maintenance. If you want, we run it on our infrastructure or in your cloud.
Why Sortia Labs for your software development
One team for everything
Frontend, backend, database, cloud and operations from one team. No hand-overs between agencies, no gaps in responsibility.
Fixed price once the scope is clear
After the prototype we quote a fixed price for the first version. Changes afterwards are billed transparently by effort.
Documented and transferable
Code, architecture and operations are documented so that another team could continue. You are not locked in.
Reachable in Munich
Workshops and acceptance on site, development remote. Short distances, German contracts, German invoices.
Frequently asked questions about software development
Answers from our projects in Munich and across Germany.
What does custom software development cost?
A first version of a web application with login, data management and one or two integrations starts in the low five-figure range. After the prototype you get a fixed price. Small tools and automations are considerably cheaper.
How long does a software project take?
Prototype in two weeks, first production version in six to twelve weeks depending on scope. We deliver weekly so you can see and steer progress.
Do you also build iOS apps?
Our focus is Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose) and progressive web apps that run equally on iPhone and Android. For native iOS apps we work with partners.
Who owns the source code?
You do. On acceptance you receive the complete source code, documentation and all credentials. There are no licence fees payable to us.
Can you take over an existing application?
Yes. We start with a code audit, document the current state and propose a plan that does not interrupt operations. Many of our projects are take-overs of applications whose developers are no longer available.
