Software that fits – built right the first time

When software can’t afford to fail and the stakes are high: we develop web applications and AI solutions for business-critical processes.

A partner for mission-critical software

We are passionate technologists. We are driven by a love of excellent software and elegant solutions to tricky problems. We work toward that moment when an application runs smoothly, day in and day out, especially in critical processes. That’s why we build custom software and on-premises AI systems you can rely on without a second thought.

15 years of experience and never a late project

Every project on time, every project on budget: That is the standard we set for ourselves, and the track record we’ve built over more than a decade and a half of project experience.

Quality through systems, not through individuals

At makandra, quality doesn't depend on how someone is feeling on any given day, but rather on clear processes that have evolved over the years and are constantly being reviewed and refined.

We build software that lasts for decades

Our applications are designed to last for over 10 years. While other software projects may require their first relaunch after just two years, our applications can be easily updated and enhanced.

We see ourselves as part of your team

We understand your industry and bring our own ideas to the table: with initiative and a focus on the big picture. Many of our client relationships have lasted for years because we never stop thinking ahead.

We'll let you know if we're not the right fit

If a project isn't a good fit for us, we'll let you know – but we'll still help you find a good solution. We only take on projects where we can make a difference.

Tech Stack

Technology: Quality with a System

makandra is committed to systematic quality: A project’s success does not depend on talented individuals. We consistently follow a test-driven approach, utilizing pair programming and code reviews.

With a technological focus and a deliberately narrow tech stack, we achieve greater speed, better quality, and lower costs. Our trainee program ensures that only developers who have mastered the tech stack as well as the necessary project management and testing skills work on projects.

This is how we maintain the quality our clients have come to expect from us.

Ruby on Rails

For over 15 years, we’ve built Rails applications. This deep dedication ensures we’re not generalists, but Rails specialists delivering efficient, reliable Rails-based software.

Next.js

We have been developing software for our customers for over 15 years: web applications, digital products, and MVPs. What sets us apart is our sharp focus on technology.

Other technologies

Whether it's Angular, Kubernetes, or Figma – we rely on proven technologies, open source whenever possible. That's how we find the right solution for every application: from design to deployment.

Technology Overview

Knowledge and Tech Guides

We document what we learn and share it with others, both for our own benefit and that of our clients. Here you’ll find guides, white papers, and articles on the use of AI in business, best practices in software development, and much more that we’re currently exploring.
