Services
Six disciplines we've shipped in repeatedly — laid in a running bond, because each one carries the load of the next.
Mobile applications
Native iOS and Android, plus React Native and Flutter where a shared codebase genuinely serves the product rather than just the estimate.
Web platforms
Dashboards, customer portals and SaaS products on React, Next.js and Node — tuned to stay quick on an average phone, not only on a developer's machine.
Product design
Research, clickable prototypes and design systems that keep their logic once a few years of features have piled on top.
Backend & cloud
APIs, data models and infrastructure on AWS or Azure, scaled to the traffic you expect — with a written plan for the traffic you don't.
Integrations & automation
Payments, ERP, CRM and logistics systems wired together properly, plus automation for the manual steps your team keeps repeating.
Maintenance
CI/CD, monitoring and a named engineer who picks up when something breaks outside office hours.
Sectors
Each sector brings its own constraints. Pick one to see what we typically build there and what we watch out for.
Manufacturing
Shop-floor tools, production tracking and reporting that plant managers actually open.
- Tablet apps that work with gloves and poor Wi-Fi
- Integration with existing ERP rather than replacing it
- Dashboards built around shift handovers
Automotive suppliers
Internal portals and supplier tooling for firms in the region's automotive supply chain.
- Document and quality workflows with an audit trail
- Role-based access across many partner companies
- Data exchange with customer systems
Logistics
Fleet visibility, route planning and driver-facing apps.
- Offline-first mobile apps for drivers
- Live tracking without draining batteries
- Dispatch tools that replace phone calls
Retail
Storefronts, loyalty mechanics and stock synchronisation across channels.
- Shop systems that survive seasonal peaks
- One stock figure across store and online
- Loyalty programmes customers understand
Process
A corridor with four bays, walked in the same order every time.
Plan
Users, constraints and risks mapped; what's in and what's explicitly out written down before any code.
Design
Sketches become clickable prototypes, tested while a change of direction still costs nothing.
Build
Two-week sprints, a live demo at the end of each, automated tests running throughout.
Open
Store submission or production deployment, analytics connected, then iteration on real usage.
Firm
HOFAL GmbH is a software development company based in Stuttgart-Wangen. We work with founders and in-house teams who want the people writing the code to also understand why it's being written.
We stay small deliberately. Every project gets senior attention, decisions take hours rather than weeks, and nobody learns your domain at your expense. It also means we decline work that isn't a fit — you'll hear that on the first call, not three sprints in.
-
§1 Same team, start to finish
Whoever scopes your project builds it. No swapping in juniors after signature.
-
§2 Early warnings
If something will run late, you hear it at the weekly demo — not on the invoice.
-
§3 The code is yours
Documented, conventional and handed over in full.
-
§4 We stay after launch
Monitoring, fixes and the next round of improvements.
Contact
The street entrance. Call, or leave a short brief — initial questions and a rough shape of the work within one working day.
