Custom software

A web application built around your process.

When spreadsheets, disconnected systems or standard software start getting in the way, a custom web application can bring the work together. Matodev translates your challenge into a clear and maintainable application.

What is a web application?

Browser-based software that supports a specific task.

A web application goes beyond an informational website. Users may sign in, process information, track a request or manage data. The application runs in a browser and is designed around a workflow or digital product.

Custom development becomes relevant when your organisation does not fit a standard package, manual handovers take too much time or several data sources need to work together. If off-the-shelf software is a good fit, custom software is not automatically the better choice. That is why every project starts with the problem rather than the technology.

Custom web applications

From an internal tool to a client-facing environment.

The exact functionality follows from your users, process and existing systems. A custom application can start small and expand with a clear purpose.

01

Client portals

A secure environment where clients can find relevant documents, requests, statuses or communication in one place.

02

Dashboards

A focused overview of data, tasks or performance, tailored to the roles and decisions within your organisation.

03

Internal tools and workflows

Business applications that structure recurring steps, centralise information and simplify handovers between team members.

Web application development

From a business challenge to a working application.

A clear functional scope prevents the application from becoming larger or more complicated than it needs to be.

  1. 01

    Understand the process

    We map users, objectives, bottlenecks and existing systems.

  2. 02

    Define scope and interface

    We define the functions and make key screens and user journeys tangible.

  3. 03

    Build and review

    The application is developed in manageable stages with focused reviews.

  4. 04

    Launch and continue

    After testing, the application goes live and we agree on maintenance and further development.

Technical foundation

Developed for today’s users and tomorrow’s changes.

Integrations
Where the process requires it, APIs can exchange data with existing systems. Technical feasibility is assessed first.
Roles and access
Accounts, permissions and protected sections are designed around who needs which information.
Maintainability
The structure remains understandable so updates, changes and future development stay manageable.
Secure management
Security, updates and backups are included in technical choices and post-launch agreements.

Example in practice

Kijkmijnsite.nl as an in-house web product.

Matodev developed Kijkmijnsite.nl as its own product for website monitoring and web tools. It demonstrates how a product idea, interface and technical foundation come together in an application that can be developed further in focused steps.

Frequently asked questions

Practical questions about custom web applications.

When should I choose custom software?

When an important process does not fit standard software, contains extensive manual work or needs specific integrations and roles. We also consider whether an existing solution would be sufficient.

Can a web application connect to other systems?

Often it can, provided those systems offer a suitable API or another reliable method of exchange. Each integration is assessed individually.

Can the application be expanded later?

Yes. By defining a clear core first, the application can grow when users or processes create a genuine need.

Who handles maintenance?

Matodev can remain involved with hosting, updates, backups, technical questions and further development. The exact scope is agreed in advance.
