App development Stuttgart – apps built to an engineering standard.
The Stuttgart region manufactures at world-class level – yet in many plants, maintenance logs still live on paper and production data in sprawling Excel sheets. We build the apps to match: offline-capable shop-floor, maintenance and field-service applications for automotive suppliers, machine builders and engineering SMEs. Developed with Flutter – iOS, Android and desktop from a single codebase. On-site appointments in Stuttgart by arrangement; the day-to-day collaboration runs remotely.
Fluent in industry
We come from software engineering, talk to your engineers as peers – and know the replacement of legacy Excel/VBA tools from hands-on practice.
Offline-first by design
A shop floor without Wi-Fi, a service technician in a dead zone: our apps sync the moment a connection returns – no data ever lost.
Our own app in the stores
With Pauly we run our own product on the App Store and Google Play – quality you can test yourself before commissioning us.
App development for businesses in Stuttgart.
Automotive, machine and plant engineering, a dense supplier industry and a strong engineering Mittelstand: in the Stuttgart region, processes decide margins – and that is exactly where our apps go to work.
Automotive suppliers
Traceability, inspection protocols and shift handovers as an app instead of a clipboard – connected to ERP and MES, documented audit-ready.
Machine & plant engineering
Service and maintenance apps for technicians in the field: machine history, checklists and photo documentation available offline – the report is done before the technician leaves the site.
Engineering SMEs
The Excel sheet half your production depends on becomes a multi-user application – with access control, versioning and interfaces instead of copy-paste.
Field service & sales
Quoting, data-capture and visit-report apps for teams between Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg and Esslingen – data lands straight in your systems instead of in an inbox at night.
What you can have built with us.
- Mobile apps (iOS & Android) – One Flutter codebase for both stores – concept, design, development, launch and operation from a single team.
- Enterprise apps – Shop-floor, maintenance and logistics apps connected to ERP, MES and databases – offline-capable for the plant and the field.
- MVP development – The fastest credible route from idea to testable product – including spin-offs and digital initiatives from industry.
- Custom software & Excel replacement – Legacy Excel/VBA and Access tools from production and planning become maintainable, multi-user applications.
- Maintenance & takeover – We also take over existing apps built by other providers – after an honest code audit with a clear recommendation.

A real product instead of glossy slides.
Before you commission us, you can install our work yourself.
Pauly – dictate your shopping list
Pauly, our voice-controlled shopping list app, is live on the App Store and Google Play: dictate instead of typing, automatic categorisation, real-time sharing with the family. For companies in Stuttgart that means: you assess our quality the way you would a first-article sample – on the finished product, not on a pitch deck.
Still running your processes on paper and Excel?
Tell us about the process that costs you the most time – you will get an honest assessment of whether an app is worth it and what scope it would take. With an on-site meeting in Stuttgart if you like.
How we start with you in Stuttgart.
Getting to know each other
A first conversation via video call or a meeting in Stuttgart – your process, your goals, our honest feedback including a rough effort estimate.
Concept & quote
Like a proper requirements specification: clear feature scope, a transparent estimate, defined milestones – no flat rate that collapses mid-project.
Development
Short cycles with testable builds on your own devices – reviews via video call, or at your plant by arrangement.
Launch & operation
Store release or internal rollout to your device fleet, followed by maintenance and further development as needed.
Frequently asked questions about app development in Stuttgart.
Do you have an office in Stuttgart?
No – our base is Dresden, and we prefer to say so upfront. Kick-offs, workshops and reviews happen at your site by arrangement; the ongoing collaboration works most efficiently remotely in our experience: short video calls, testable builds on your devices, and a direct line to the developers.
Why an agency from Saxony instead of one from Stuttgart?
Two reasons: Saxon cost structures instead of Stuttgart day rates – a noticeable difference over a multi-month app project. And quality you do not have to take on faith: our own product Pauly is live on the App Store and Google Play. Download it and judge our work the way you would a first-article sample.
Can you connect apps to our ERP or MES system?
Yes – for industrial apps that is the rule rather than the exception. Whether SAP, proALPHA or an in-house system: we connect apps via APIs, integration middleware or direct database access – and define in the concept phase which data needs to be buffered offline so the app keeps working on a shop floor without Wi-Fi.
What kinds of apps do you build?
Shop-floor, maintenance and field-service apps with system integration, consumer apps for the stores, MVPs for new ventures and digital initiatives – and the replacement of legacy Excel/VBA tools from production and planning with modern applications.
What does an initial consultation cost?
Nothing. We listen, ask the right questions and tell you honestly whether and how your project can be realised – including a rough effort estimate. Even if the answer is: you do not need an app for that.
