Custom software & AI for SMEs
Custom software from ultimAItech is a bespoke web app, integration or automation for SMEs in Drenthe and Overijssel. Integrations from €2,000 (2-4 weeks); web applications from €5,000 (6-12 weeks). Fixed price after intake; you own the code.
What is custom software from ultimAItech?
Custom software from ultimAItech is built around your process, not a standard package you have to bend. Think order management, booking systems, API integrations or internal dashboards for SMEs in Drenthe and Overijssel.
A simple integration or automation starts at €2,000 and is often live within 2-4 weeks. A full web application starts at €5,000 and takes 6-12 weeks. You always get a fixed price and documentation; the code is yours.
Most projects do not replace your accounting package. They connect what you already use: Exact, Moneybird, a webshop or Excel. I build the bridge, migrate data where needed, and hand over instructions so your team can run it.
Live examples in the region: order management at Houthandel Jan Sok (from enquiry to fulfilment) and WAL Beschoeiing’s project-based flow after Shopify. Nijenhuis Botenverhuur runs on a booking flow instead of loose emails.

When is custom software the right choice?
Standard packages like Exact or Shopify are fine when they fit. Custom makes sense when you lose time retyping, or when no package covers your process. Typical signs:
- ✓You copy data manually between two or more systems
- ✓Your workflow does not fit the standard software you use now
- ✓You have a unique process that no existing tool covers
- ✓You pay for 10 modules but only use 2
- ✓You want to connect systems that do not talk to each other by default
- ✓Your growing team is stuck on Excel files and shared folders
Order management and booking logic that fits the business exactly
Two webshops and a booking platform in the region run on software built for their process, not on a template that almost fits.

Frequently asked questions
How much does custom software cost?
That depends on complexity. A simple integration or automation starts from €2,000. A complete web application with user management and integrations starts from €5,000. You always receive a fixed price upfront with a clear scope description.
How long does it take?
A system integration or automation is often ready within 2-4 weeks. A web application takes 6-12 weeks depending on scope. You receive a concrete timeline with the proposal.
Can I keep using my current software?
Usually yes. Custom software does not have to replace your existing tools - it can be the bridge between systems you already use. Most projects are integrations or additions to what is already running.
Who maintains the software after delivery?
After delivery you receive a fixed aftercare period. After that you can choose a maintenance contract for updates, bug fixes and technical support. The code is always yours - you are never locked in.
I am not sure what I need. Can I still get in touch?
Absolutely. Most business owners know their problem but not which technical solution fits best. That is exactly what the introductory call is for - together we determine whether custom is the right approach.
Do you also work with businesses outside the region?
My focus is on Drenthe and Overijssel, but software projects often run largely digitally. For businesses elsewhere in the Netherlands or across the border in Germany I work via video calls.
