[ More about Webapplications ](https://schaefersoft.ch/en/services/webapplications) ![Noel Weiss's website](https://schaefersoft.ch/build/assets/mockup_02-Dbzjczo4.webp)![Web application example: SchäferStrom](https://schaefersoft.ch/build/assets/mockup_01-CZgSQQi3.webp) AI & Automation --------------------- We build tailor-made AI solutions and automations that save you real time and money in your everyday work. More than a ChatGPT subscription: integrated into your systems, working with your data, without switching between tools. What we build - Custom AI assistants based on your documents and processes - AI workflows for document processing and reporting - Process automation from data capture to archiving - Smart customer communication and email triage - Data analysis, forecasts and automatic reports Every solution is transparent and traceable. You understand what the system does and why. Full logging, sources with every answer and human review for critical decisions. Why your own system instead of standard tools? Standard AI tools don't know your data, give inconsistent results and often leave little room when it comes to data protection. Our solutions are linked to your documents, built into your systems and deliver structured, reliable results. Infrastructure to fit your requirements Cloud, your own hardware or hybrid: you decide. We host your AI solution in Switzerland or the EU, or install particularly sensitive processing on your own infrastructure. We can also provide the hardware if needed. With cloud language models, data may also be transferred to the USA; if you wish, we use EU endpoints or local models. - Model-agnostic: OpenAI, Claude or local models - Hybrid setups possible (cloud + on-premise) - Operating model that matches how sensitive your data is Start with one specific use case. Expand once you see the value. Our architecture is modular, so new capabilities and better models can be added without starting from scratch. [ More about AI & Automation ](https://schaefersoft.ch/en/services/ai-automation) Why custom software? Here's why. ---------------------------------- We don't build software from a toolkit. We build it from scratch, individually. Template solutions are a sensible choice for simple projects with clearly defined scope. Custom software pays off where processes are individual, systems need to grow, or long-term independence is critical. At SchäferSoft, we build exclusively to specification: no template, no builder, no lock-in. Our strength lies where standard solutions fall short: complex workflows, growing systems, and requirements a generic product simply cannot meet. \*More coloured marks indicate higher suitability in that area. **Custom Software** **Builders / Templates** **Suitable use cases** Custom Software Complex, individual or business-critical projects Builders / Templates Simple to moderately complex web projects with standard requirements **Flexibility** Custom Software Tailored exactly to your processes Builders / Templates Only within predefined structures **Extensibility** Custom Software Extendable without breaking existing systems Builders / Templates Via plugins or workarounds **Integration with existing systems** Custom Software Seamless integration possible, depending on system landscape Builders / Templates Often limited or at additional cost **Scalability** Custom Software Built for growth Builders / Templates Limited for complex requirements **Performance** Custom Software High performance with clean architecture, depends on implementation quality Builders / Templates General purpose, partially limited with many plugins **Security** Custom Software Targeted security concepts, requires careful implementation Builders / Templates Basic security, dependent on system and plugin updates **Maintainability** Custom Software Highly maintainable with clean architecture Builders / Templates Dependent on updates & plugins **Ownership & control** Custom Software Full source code access, few dependencies Builders / Templates Partial vendor or system lock-in **Initial effort** Custom Software Higher analysis and development effort Builders / Templates Ready to launch quickly **Initial cost / price** Custom Software Higher upfront investment Builders / Templates Lower entry cost **Long-term costs** Custom Software Predictable & sustainable Builders / Templates Increase due to limitations How it works with SchäferSoft ------------------------------- From first conversation to handover: transparent, structured and direct. At SchäferSoft we follow a clear, proven process, with one dedicated contact person from start to finish: ### Non-binding initial meeting We clarify goals, requirements and constraints. ### Analysis & recommendation We assess which solution makes sense: custom or a simpler alternative. ### Development in clear stages Transparent execution with regular exchange and traceable decisions. ### Handover & further development Clean handover including documentation and long-term support. What you receive after completion ----------------------------------- We support you through acceptance and beyond After a project closes, the collaboration doesn't end abruptly. We place great value on sustainable, maintainable and operable solutions, built without dependency on templates or system providers. With every project you receive: - Access to the complete source code - Clean technical documentation - No dependency on builders or system providers - A maintainable and extensible software solution After development we remain your direct technical contact for questions, adjustments or extensions. Also included in the project price: 3 months of free security updates from go-live and 1 year of bug fixes from acceptance. After that, security updates are covered by a maintenance contract or billed on a time and materials basis.
