From the very beginning, great importance was placed on understanding and implementing my wishes and ideas precisely. All input was not only taken into account, but also meaningfully complemented by SchäferSoft’s valuable ideas and expert advice, which significantly enhanced the final result. The implementation of the website and CMS went smoothly and was handled with absolute professionalism. I was particularly impressed by how precisely my requirements were implemented and how well the result reflects my vision. Communication was also pleasant, efficient, and solution-oriented at all times. Questions and requests for adjustments were responded to quickly, making the entire process very straightforward. I would definitely recommend SchäferSoft and look forward to the next project with you. :) [ View all references ](https://schaefersoft.ch/en/references) Frequently Asked Questions ---------------------------- Everything you need to know about working with SchäferSoft Categories About SchäferSoft Project Start & Process Costs & Pricing Technology & Security After the Project What makes SchäferSoft different from large agencies? At SchäferSoft, your product takes centre stage, not a pre-packaged solution. Large agencies often work with templates and standardised processes, where individual requests quickly become exceptions. At SchäferSoft, we develop a solution together with you from the ground up that exactly fits your processes. You have a direct contact, short decision-making paths and full transparency over the project status. Who is SchäferSoft the right partner for? SchäferSoft is suitable for businesses of any size, from a sole trader looking to automate a manual process, to a medium-sized enterprise that needs a complex system or an AI-powered solution. What matters is not the size, but the desire for a solution that truly fits and doesn't just somehow work. Does SchäferSoft only work with Swiss clients? No. SchäferSoft also supports international clients with digitalisation and the development of their own, independent software. The focus is on the German-speaking region (Switzerland, Germany and Austria), but in principle we work with clients worldwide, as long as communication is possible in German or English. How many projects have been completed so far? Since we are not permitted to reference all completed projects, we cannot give exact figures, however, there are at least **14** completed projects. These include [web applications](https://schaefersoft.ch/en/services/webapplications), mobile apps, AI-powered automation solutions, internal tools and complex enterprise systems from a wide range of industries. Why custom software instead of an off-the-shelf solution? A custom solution is superior to a generic one in 95% of cases. Off-the-shelf solutions are designed for a broad market and often include features you don't need, while missing the ones you actually do. Through tailor-made development, the software is aligned exactly with your company, your processes and your goals. Especially with [AI integrations and process automations](https://schaefersoft.ch/en/services/ai-automation), custom development makes the difference: no generic tool knows your data, your workflows and your language as well as a solution built specifically for you. I have an idea but no finished concept. Can I still get in touch? Yes, and that is actually the ideal time for an initial conversation. Many of our best projects started as a rough idea. We help you structure your requirements, identify technical possibilities and develop a realistic concept together. You don't need to bring a specification document. A brief description of your problem or goal is perfectly sufficient. What happens in the first meeting? The first meeting is about getting to know you and your project. We discuss together what you want to achieve, what requirements exist and what timeframe and budget are realistic. On this basis, we make suggestions regarding technology choices and next steps. The meeting is non-binding and free of charge. How long does it take from idea to finished product? This depends strongly on the scope and complexity. A simple automation solution or internal tool can be completed within a few weeks. An AI integration or larger web application typically takes 2 to 6 months, while a full ERP system or complex automation platform will take correspondingly longer. After the initial meeting, you will receive a realistic estimate. Will I be kept informed regularly during development? Yes. We work according to the SCRUM principle with short, iterative development cycles. In regular reviews, weekly or bi-weekly depending on project size, we discuss the current status, present interim results and plan next steps. You are always up to date and can provide feedback early on. What happens if requirements change during the project? Changes are part of every project. That is normal and not a problem. We discuss the new requirements together, assess the impact on time and costs, and adjust the plan accordingly. Everything is documented in writing so that both sides have clarity. Our goal is to remain flexible without losing sight of the bigger picture. How much does a custom software project at SchäferSoft cost? The costs depend on scope, complexity and duration and therefore cannot be answered with a flat rate. A simple automation solution or AI-supported process starts at a few thousand francs, while extensive platforms or complete AI systems cost correspondingly more. After an initial conversation, we can give you a realistic ballpark figure, without surprises later. Is there a fixed price or is billing based on effort? Both are possible. For clearly defined projects, we prefer to work with a fixed price based on a quote. For more complex or ongoing projects, effort-based billing may make more sense. We discuss which model fits best together in the initial meeting. Should the expected costs change significantly during development, we communicate this early and openly. Can I communicate my budget upfront? Yes, and we actively encourage it. It helps us enormously. With a clear budget in mind, we can assess feasibility much better, adjust the scope accordingly and propose a solution that truly fits your framework. This helps both sides avoid unnecessary detours. Can a project be split into phases to manage the budget? Yes, and we actually recommend this in most cases. Every project at SchäferSoft is divided into meaningful phases, from conception through development to launch. The rough concept that forms the basis of the quote is free of charge; billing only starts once the order is placed. If desired, each phase is budgeted and billed separately, so you retain full cost control and can respond flexibly to changes. Are there ongoing costs after handover? That depends on which services you require after launch. If SchäferSoft handles hosting, security maintenance or technical management, corresponding ongoing costs apply. Further development and new features are quoted separately. If you choose none of these services, there are no further costs. Either way, the software belongs to you once it has been paid in full. What technologies does SchäferSoft use? We choose the technology based on the requirements of the project, not the other way around. For web applications, we use PHP (Laravel) on the backend and React, Vue.js or Svelte on the frontend. Mobile apps are developed with Swift (iOS) or React Native (cross-platform). For desktop applications, we use .NET or Tauri. In the area of AI and automation, we work with Python, LLM APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic), workflow automations and custom data processing pipelines. Where appropriate, we use proven open-source frameworks as a foundation. Do I get access to the full source code after the project? Yes. After successful project completion, you get digital access to the complete source code of your solution including documentation if you wish. The code belongs to you. You can use it internally, develop it further yourself or have another developer work on it. However, we accept no liability for changes not made by SchäferSoft. Can my existing software be extended or replaced? In many cases, yes. Whether an extension or a complete replacement makes sense depends on the condition and architecture of the existing solution. We analyse the starting situation together with you and recommend the path that makes the most technical and economic sense, without any hidden agenda. How is the security of the developed software ensured? Security is not an afterthought but part of the development process. We rely on proven security practices, up-to-date frameworks and regular security audits. Security updates are included free of charge for the first 3 months from go-live. After that, they are covered by a maintenance contract or billed on a time and materials basis. Will the software run on my existing infrastructure? We clarify this together in the initial meeting. In many cases, the new solution can be seamlessly integrated into your existing infrastructure. If this does not make technical sense or carries risks, we address this openly and present alternatives, whether your own hardware, cloud or a hybrid model. What is included in the price after handover? Included in the project price are digital access to the complete source code if you wish, clean documentation, an introduction for your team, 3 months of free security updates from go-live and 1 year of bug fixes from acceptance. This gives you a solid foundation after launch without having to invest in further costs immediately. Who do I contact if something goes wrong after launch? Directly with us. After project completion, you receive a personal point of contact and do not have to navigate a ticketing system. Whether it is a bug, a question or a short-term adjustment: we respond quickly and straightforwardly. Within the first year from acceptance, bug fixes are included in the price. Can SchäferSoft provide long-term support and further development? Yes, we are very happy to do so. We accompany many of our client projects over the long term, from minor adjustments to major extensions. Upon request, we create a suitable maintenance and support model that fits your needs and budget. What happens to my data and source code if I hire another developer? No problem. Since the source code belongs to you after project completion, you can hire another developer at any time. Upon request, we provide all necessary information to enable a clean transition. However, we accept no liability for changes not made by SchäferSoft. How does a hosting setup work? Does SchäferSoft handle it? Yes, upon request we handle the complete hosting for you. We align ourselves with your requirements: whether on your own hardware that we manage for you, on a dedicated server or in the cloud. We always recommend the solution that suits your project, your budget and your security requirements. An idea? A process? A problem? Let's talk about it. ----------------------------------------------------- Whether custom software, AI integration or process automation: in a free initial consultation, we'll find out together what makes sense for you.
