01
Mapping
A diagnosis of your digital organisation: tools, flows, costs, risks. You leave with a costed map and a plan.
Systems architecture · Consulting · AI transition
Architecture, memory, continuity.
We design custom back-office systems for Swiss SMEs: one tool instead of ten subscriptions, and you own all of it.
— Services
Four ways to work together.
02
Build
We design and deploy your custom back office. At the end, the code, the database and the server are yours.
03
AI transition
AI models built into the tools you already use, without exposing your data or depending on a vendor.

Your team is building it themselves? We coach them until they can run it on their own.
For Swiss SMEs of 5 to 80 people whose memory is their main asset: consulting firms, creative studios, engineering offices. We work in English and French.
— Example
Mirage Bleu: fifteen tools, one system.
Audiovisual studio · Neuchâtel · since 2024
Before: about fifteen subscriptions that didn't talk to each other — Asana, Notion, Toggl, Drive, Slack, Sellsy, Frame.io… Fifteen logins, fifteen invoices, scattered data.
Today: one system where projects, contacts, time, invoices and deliverables are connected. Clients have their own portal to follow their projects, approve mixes and find their invoices.

— Our commitments
What we don't compromise on.
01
You own the system.
Code, database, server: it's all yours from day one.
02
Open formats.
Your data stays readable without us: a standard SQL database and open exports.
03
Everything is traceable.
Every record has a date, an author and a history. Nothing disappears by accident.
04
No subscription.
You buy a system, not a service. Once it's delivered, we step away.
— FAQ
Before you sign.
How much does it cost?
An audit (Mapping) costs CHF 5,000 to 9,000 and is delivered in four weeks. A full design and deployment engagement costs CHF 40,000 to 120,000, depending on the size of the organisation and the scope. No subscription, no licence.
How long does it take?
Three to six months for a full engagement. At every stage — mapping, architecture, build, handover — you decide whether to continue or stop.
What if I want to leave?
You own the system from day one: code, database, server and documentation. Any competent developer can take it over.
What size of company do you work with?
Swiss SMEs of 5 to 80 people. Below that, a full back office rarely pays off: we suggest a light audit instead. Above that, we work alongside your IT department.
What happens after delivery?
The system runs on its own and your team knows how to evolve it. A new module, a yearly audit or training remain possible, billed by the hour, never as a subscription.
