Custom Software Development, AI & Process Automation
From web applications and AI integrations to process automation. Tailor-made, no templates, straight from Switzerland.
Websites
We design and build professional websites that fit your brand. Made for you instead of pieced together in a website builder, fast on every device and structured so that Google understands them.
Whether it is a simple one-page site or a multilingual company website: your site is built to be search-engine friendly, and you can update the content yourself at any time.
What we build
Company websites
Landing pages
One-page sites

Built to grow
Your website is the starting point. If it needs to become more, such as a login, a portal or a booking system, we extend it into a web application without starting over.
Included with every website
Responsive design for smartphone, tablet & desktop
We develop web applications that fit your processes exactly. Software that runs in the browser and makes your working day easier.
Whether it's a simple application or a complex portal: every one of our solutions runs in the browser, manages data, automates processes and is actively used every day. For classic websites, see our Websites service.
What we build
Interfaces & integrations
Customer portals
Tools & dashboards
Booking systems
ERP systems
Marketplaces
Every solution comes with an intuitive admin area. You manage content, customers, products and media yourself, without any technical knowledge and without having to contact us.
Why tailor-made?
Our web applications are built from the ground up for your processes. They adapt to the way you work, not the other way round.
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.
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.

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.

I am extremely satisfied with my collaboration with SchäferSoft. 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. :)
