Internal apps
Tools that replace spreadsheets and patchwork systems, built around exactly how you work.
At some point the spreadsheet has gone from useful to being the only place the truth lives — and only one person understands it. Meanwhile the off-the-shelf systems do not fit, because your way of working is not like everyone else's.
An internal app solves that by being built for you. Not a system you have to adapt to, but one shaped around how the work actually happens.
Roles and permissions
Different people need to see and do different things. We build the permission model around your organisation — technicians, foremen, project managers, administrators.
The workflow first
We draw the flow before building the screens. It is cheaper to move a box on paper than to build the wrong screen.
Moving existing data
The spreadsheet and the old system get emptied into the new app. An empty app is not a finished app.
Registration in the field
Apps that work on a phone in a van, not just on a screen in the office. Hours, documentation, photos and status recorded where the work happens.
An overview for management
A dashboard showing what is running, who is where, and what has been done — without anyone having to ring round and ask.
Rollout to several entities
If you have multiple departments, countries or partners, we build it so the same solution can be set up again without starting over.
The permission model is the most important decision
What decides whether an internal app gets used is rarely how good it looks. It is whether each employee sees exactly what they need and nothing more. At Necto Nordic we removed a role we had proposed ourselves mid-build, because it created more handover friction than it solved. We design around how people work, not around the org chart.
Read the caseHow we deliver
The same approach whatever the area. You can stop after each phase, and you know what the next step costs before agreeing to it.
We map it out first
Ninety minutes going through your processes to work out what can genuinely be automated. You get a clear picture of what is possible and what it would cost.
We build on a fixed price
One- to two-week sprints, each ending in a demo. You know the cost before we start, and you own the code afterwards. No lock-in, no long contract.
We keep it running
Service plans covering maintenance, support and extensions as the business changes.
Is this the right place to start?
If two or more of these sound familiar, there is usually something to gain. If none do, we would rather say so now than after a proposal.
- A spreadsheet has become the company's most important system
- Off-the-shelf systems do not fit your workflow
- Status is assembled by hand from phone calls and messages
- You pay licence fees for features you do not use
What we have built
From spreadsheets and phone calls to one live view
One live view of every job, crew and hour
Shift plans and hours in one system
Hours flow straight in, no manual reconciliation
Same platform, new country
One platform, two organisations, no rebuild
Questions we get asked
What if we outgrow it?+
Then we build further. That is the whole point of owning your own solution. We build on ordinary, widely used technology, so you are not dependent on us in order to extend it.
Who owns the code?+
You do. It runs on infrastructure you choose, and you can take it with you if you ever want to move on without us. We do not build things you cannot get out of.
What about the data we already have?+
It comes along. Importing from spreadsheets or the old system is part of the job — an empty app is not a finished app.
How do we get people to use it?+
By making it faster than what they already do. If it is not, it will not get used, whatever management says. That is why we build in short sprints with demos along the way, so the people who have to use it can object early.
