Software development for Herrenberg & the Gäu

Because you get an experienced developer from the region who reaches you quickly between Tübingen and Stuttgart and looks after your project personally. At TFLIT you work directly with me, Tillmann Lang: no changing contacts, no handovers between sales and development. I have built projects like the culture app Kultio and PraktiMatch for Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, and I know the requirements of public-sector clients as well. For businesses in Herrenberg that means short distances, clear communication and solutions tailored to your operation instead of a catalogue. Technically I rely on a modern, maintainable stack with Next.js, Payload and Flutter, with topics like GDPR and accessibility considered from the start. I reply to your inquiry within two working days, usually faster.

Yes, for smaller businesses a clearly scoped first step often pays off fastest. The mistake would be to aim for the big all-in-one system right away: expensive, slow, and in the end nobody uses it. Instead we look for the one workflow that costs you the most time today, such as creating quotes, scheduling staff or handing orders over to accounting, and digitalise exactly that. The investment stays manageable and the benefit is felt immediately. Often a lean web app is enough, one that works on a phone just as well as in the office. Once the first step proves itself, you decide calmly whether and how to continue. Trades and SMEs are strong in the Gäu: tell me about your business and I will tell you honestly whether custom software is worth it for you.

The price depends on the scope, above all on the number of workflows, integrations and user roles your solution needs to cover. A lean web app for one clearly defined workflow is significantly cheaper than a system connecting order management, planning and accounting. To give you clarity early, I proceed in two steps: first a free initial meeting where we narrow down the need, then a written offer with fixed stages. So you do not pay for a vague overall project but for clearly described steps that you approve individually. The MVP approach protects your budget further: only when the first part proves itself in daily use do we plan the next one. Feel free to name your budget range, and I will tell you openly what is realistic within it for your business in Herrenberg.

Whatever suits you: both are possible, and a mix has proven itself. Herrenberg is ideally located for me, I am there quickly from Tübingen, and meetings towards Stuttgart can be combined as well. I use in-person meetings mainly at the beginning, when we map your workflows and scope the project, or when we review interim versions together with your team. The development itself runs remotely, with short video calls and a shared board where you can always see what I am working on. That keeps costs lean and coordination fast. What matters to me is that you never have to wonder where the project stands. Just say in the first meeting how much personal contact you would like, and we will set up the collaboration accordingly.

For clearly scoped projects, a first usable version is often ready within a few weeks. How long it takes overall depends on scope, integrations and how quickly feedback comes from your business. My approach is designed to show results early: we start with an MVP that covers your most important workflow, and you work with it while I keep building. That way we notice immediately whether the solution works in daily use, instead of developing in the dark for months. The offer includes a schedule with milestones, and as a solo developer I deliberately take on only as many projects as I can look after reliably. If your project in Herrenberg is tied to a fixed date, such as a trade fair or a season, plan that in early and we will scope the first step around it.
