Marketplace, portal, booking system: your platform connects both sides — no back office in between.

By not starting from zero: most business owners who come to us already bring one side — existing customers, suppliers, a partner network. In the Potential Analysis, we work out which side you have and how the other one gets on board, for instance through a launch offer for your first vendors. During the test phase, real users from both sides work with the platform before any money goes into marketing. If you have no access to either side, we'll tell you so honestly in the first call.

Through established payment providers that specialize in marketplaces: the customer pays on the platform, and the provider splits the amount automatically — your commission to you, the rest to the vendor. You don't need a payment license of your own; the regulatory burden sits with the provider. Invoices, credit notes, and payout statements are generated by the platform automatically. Which provider fits your model is something we nail down in the Potential Analysis.

Yes — we connect your ERP, CRM, accounting, calendars, or payment providers via APIs, so nobody maintains data twice. Orders from the portal land straight in your ERP, and customer data stays in sync. Hosting is in the EU, GDPR-compliant, on accounts owned by your company. At any time, you get a full breakdown of every running service and its costs — there's no lock-in that only we can undo.

Because the scope is put in writing before the project starts: in the free Potential Analysis, we define what the first version of your platform has to do — and what it deliberately doesn't yet. You then receive a fixed-price quote with scope and launch date; once you sign, the number doesn't move, no matter how many hours we put in. If stage one shows the idea doesn't hold up, the project ends there — you only pay for that stage. Later extensions get their own quote.

The platform is yours: source code, credentials, documentation, and all hosting and service accounts run under your company's name. After launch, we stay on to run it long term — operations, security, further development — because a platform lives on being maintained. A complete handover to your own team or another provider is still possible at any time: if you never hire us again, you're not missing a thing.

Especially there: for us, AI speeds up writing code, not making decisions. Architecture, data model, roles, and payment flows are designed by a human who has been building platforms for nearly ten years. Every line goes through the same tests and standards as hand-written code. That way of working is what makes the fixed price and the roughly 90 days to launch possible in the first place — and it's publicly documented in our book (vibecodingbuch.de).
