Built to last, ready to grow with you. Twenty years of ERP development, AI as an accelerator, and one principle that stays put: the code is yours.

Three steps, from the first conversation to going live.
It starts with a conversation. We listen to your need, talk with your teams and take the time to understand your business. That is what the project study is for, usually over a week. You come out of it with a costed action plan that belongs to you, whether you carry on with us or not.
We build your application in iterations: you watch your software take shape, version after version. On complex projects we work in an agile setup, alongside your teams.
Software lives on after go-live, and that is often where everything is decided. We stay with you: fixes, changes, support, for as long as you need it.
Writing code fast keeps getting easier, AI included. Governing that code and standing behind it for years is another matter.
Twenty years designing and maintaining an ERP for Swiss companies taught us to read business processes down to the detail, and to turn them into tools that make daily work simpler for the people using them.
After go-live we keep going: follow-up, changes, support. Your software keeps a contact who knows it from the inside.
Based in Neuchâtel, we know what Swiss companies actually deal with: the systems already in place, VAT, and nFADP compliance.
An architecture meant to grow with your business and stay healthy year after year.
Management topics we handle every day.
Business software spends its days on long-running work: taking a payment, syncing a third-party system, closing a month, waiting for a manager to approve something. That is exactly where software tends to leave data half written.
Every step of an operation is recorded as it happens. If the server restarts in the middle of a month-end or an import, the work resumes at the next step, with the same data it had before.
When a third-party service answers badly, the call is replayed automatically. A uniqueness key travels with each operation, so your customer is charged once and only once.
A reminder in three days, a manager's approval, a deadline to watch: the operation waits as long as it takes, then carries on by itself. Work that needs a person lands in a list, with its due date.
Each run keeps its full timeline: what was called, with which data, what came back. When a client asks what happened on Tuesday at 2pm, the answer is there to read.
We do not rebuild these foundations on every project: Echino, our own ERP, was rebuilt entirely on them. So most of our work goes into what is specific to your business.
We took a product all the way: from the idea to the market, and on to running every day for dozens of clients.
Fitness & leisure ERP
Management ERP for fitness and leisure centres. First built in 2006, sold from 2012, rebuilt from the ground up in 2019. Today around 40 clients and close to 150 centres and clubs use it daily.
MVP
Desktop Markdown editor (Electron, React, TypeScript). The MVP works: we are carrying on with product development, from usable to sellable.
The next one could be yours.

Codenotch came out of a real problem: how do you build and maintain management software for dozens of clients while keeping the codebase healthy and under control? We spent years building Echino, an ERP for the fitness and leisure industry, and built along the way the technical foundations that let us move faster for our clients today, at the same level of quality.
Twenty years of business software development, in real conditions.
The questions we get most often before a project starts.
Every project starts with a study that sets the scope precisely, and its cost comes off the quote if you go on to have us build it. On that basis we commit to a firm budget, agreed before development starts. If the project grows, each new request is costed before it is started.
It depends on the scope. An MVP is usually counted in weeks, in the range of 6 to 12 depending on complexity; a full business application takes longer. The project study gives you a precise estimate of the development effort.
Yes, the source code is always handed over. You can host it wherever you want and take it further in-house or with the team of your choice. We build your software: it belongs to you.
Yes, and it is what we do best. We connect your applications to the systems already in place through APIs, so all your tools work together.
