When a business runs on shared spreadsheets, email and retyping data between systems, every job takes longer than it should. Our web application development starts with the way you actually work: the application covers that process, connects to your accounting, e-shop or CRM and adds AI where it helps. The code and data stay yours.
Custom web application and software development at Webforte Technologies s.r.o. (company ID 23364343, Prague) covers designing, programming and running bespoke software for a specific company process: job tracking, purchasing, approvals, bookings, a client portal or the first version of your own SaaS product (software sold as an online service). A web application runs in the browser with nothing to install; users sign in and each role sees only its own data. We connect it through an API (an interface that lets systems exchange data automatically) to Czech accounting software such as Pohoda, Money S3, ABRA Flexi or Fakturoid, to e-shops and to CRM systems. Where it helps, we add AI, such as extracting data from invoices. We build with Next.js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL, the application runs in Docker on a VPS or on the client's server, and the client owns the source code and data. Webforte also runs its own applications Dotazio, Kurikula.ai, Chytrejbyt.cz and Chytrej dárek. Pricing is set by a non-binding quote. We communicate in English.
A shared spreadsheet and the same workload in a web application. The numbers in the examples match the pairs below: what happens today and what changes when a custom application takes over the process.
Today
Jobs, stock or attendance live in a shared spreadsheet. Two people edit the same row, a formula breaks and nobody knows which version is right.
In the application
One database with a change history
Every record exists once. The application controls who may change what and logs who made each change and when.
Today
An order arrives by email, someone copies it into a spreadsheet, then into accounting and finally into the e-shop. Typos only surface on the invoice.
In the application
Enter it once
The application passes the data to Pohoda, Money S3 or Fakturoid through the API and reads the invoice status back. Nobody retypes anything.
Today
A ready-made system has plenty of features, just not the one you need. Exceptions end up in yet another spreadsheet next to the program.
In the application
Steps that follow your process
We design screens, statuses and approvals around how your company actually works. When the process changes, the application is adjusted, not the people.
Today
Only the person with the email knows the status of a job. When they are away, everything has to be pieced together from emails and phone calls.
In the application
Anyone with permission sees the status
Comments, attachments and deadlines sit with the job. A colleague can take it over without searching someone else's inbox.
A web application is software that runs in the browser: people sign in and work with data, creating, editing and approving it. Five types of applications and what they usually include.
The replacement for the shared spreadsheet: records of jobs, production, stock, service or attendance. The application knows your statuses and rules, watches deadlines and alerts you when something gets stuck.
When an off-the-shelf CRM (customer and sales records) or ERP (a system for running the company) does not fit your sales process. We often do not rebuild the whole system: accounting stays where it is and the application covers what the boxed software cannot.
A place where a customer or business partner finds their order status, invoices, documents or their own price list without asking. Everyone sees only their company's data, and your team no longer answers the same questions by phone.
Online booking of appointments, capacity or resources with availability checks and email confirmation. For example, we delivered a website with an integrated booking system for Victoria Garden.
The first version of your own product (an MVP, the smallest version that lets you test customer interest) with sign-up, pricing plans and separated customer data. We run Dotazio and Kurikula.ai this way ourselves, so we know what running a product after launch involves.
A custom application is more than a screen. Underneath are layers that decide whether it will still work in a few years and whether it can be connected to other systems. We go through each of them during design.
An admin area for your staff, a portal for customers or both. It runs in the browser on a computer or phone, and each role sees only what it needs for its work.
Every request from the screens goes through the API to the database and to other systems. It checks who is signed in and what they may do, validates the input and records the change.
Data is passed on automatically through the interface the system's vendor officially provides.
An AI agent that prepares documents or sorts requests, and extraction of data from invoices and contracts. The output is checked by a rule or a person before it is written to the database.
One place for the data instead of several versions of a spreadsheet. We use PostgreSQL, migrate the data from your old spreadsheets and set up backups to match where the application runs.
We build with Next.js, React and TypeScript on a PostgreSQL database. The application runs in Docker on a VPS or on your server, and the code sits in a repository you have full access to.
Talk the architecture throughA custom application is not always the right answer. If ready-made software covers your process, we will recommend it. A comparison on the points that matter when you decide.
Swipe the table sideways to see all columns.
| Off-the-shelf software, no-code or custom application development | Off-the-shelf software | No-code tool | Custom application |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A ready-made program for common tasks, you pay for a licence | An application assembled without programming on someone else's platform, such as Airtable or Glide | Software designed and programmed for your process |
| How soon you can start | Right after purchase and setup | In days to weeks, you assemble it yourself | After design and development of the first version |
| Fit with your process | The process adapts to the program | Within the limits the platform allows | The application adapts to the process |
| Integration with accounting, e-shop, CRM | Only ready-made connectors, if they exist | Platform connectors, more complex rules hit limits | Through APIs, following your rules |
| Running costs | Licence, usually per user | Platform subscription, often by users or records | Hosting and maintenance, no per-user fee |
| Where the data lives | Depends on the program: in the vendor's cloud or on your own computer or server | On the provider's platform | In your database, on a server you choose |
| Best when | It is a standard task: accounting, payroll, invoicing | A small team needs a simple overview or form | Your process is your advantage, or nothing ready-made fits |
We often combine them: accounting stays in Pohoda or Money S3 and the custom application covers what the boxed software cannot. A no-code tool is a good way to test a process before investing in development.
Each step ends with an output you decide on. We build a large application in parts, so your team can use the first part before everything is finished.
We go through how a job or order moves through your company today, who works on it, which spreadsheets and systems hold the data and where time is lost. We also tell you when ready-made software is enough.
Output: Process description and a non-binding quote
We design the screens, roles and permissions, the data model and the list of integrations. The design shows whether the application fits the real work before the first line of code is written.
Output: Design of screens, roles and integrations
We build the core of the application around one main process (an MVP). Your team tries it on real data and we adjust whatever gets in the way.
Output: An application your team starts using
We connect accounting, e-shop or CRM through their APIs and migrate the data from old spreadsheets. We agree in advance which system is the master for each piece of data.
Output: Data in one place, connected systems
We deploy in Docker on a VPS or on your server, set up backups and train the people who will use the application.
Output: A running application, access and documentation
We look after updates and security and add features based on what day-to-day use shows. Or we hand everything over to your developer.
Output: An application that grows with the business
You commission a custom application so that it is yours. We hand over everything needed to run it, even if you continue with another supplier.
The best evidence is software running in production. We run our own applications Dotazio, Kurikula.ai, Chytrejbyt.cz and Chytrej dárek ourselves, so we know what maintenance, backups and user questions involve after launch.
Describe the process that slows you down and the systems you use. In a consultation we go through it, tell you whether a custom application, ready-made software or an adjustment of what you already have makes sense, and prepare a non-binding quote. We communicate in English.
