We build the tools that off-the-shelf systems do not.

We design and build software, internal tools and automations around your actual workflow: from web applications to custom CMS platforms and integrations.

In many companies the work happens between spreadsheets, email and disconnected systems. We can design and build focused software around that workflow, instead of bending the process to fit the software.

The result can be a small internal utility or a substantial custom system. The starting point is the data, the rules and the people who will use the tool.

  • Internal tools
  • Web applications
  • CMS
  • API integrations
  • Automation

What we can build

  • Custom business software

    Systems for workflows that off-the-shelf software cannot handle

    Purpose-built systems for processes that general-purpose software does not handle properly.

    • Order and demand processes
    • Industry-specific calculation and rule models
    • Operational tracking systems
  • Internal tools

    Tools your team uses to manage data and operations

    Interfaces and applications for employees to manage products, content, data, customers and workflows.

    • Product and catalog tools
    • Content and data management
    • Applications that replace spreadsheets
  • Automation

    Repetitive tasks as reliable automated workflows

    We replace manual copying, updating and reporting with automated workflows.

    • Data transfers and updates
    • Automated reporting
    • Product data processing
    • Notifications and alerts
  • Custom CMS and data management

    A system for structured information

    A system built to manage structured information when a generic website CMS is not enough.

    • Product and catalog management
    • Admin views over existing databases
    • Permissions and change history
  • Data products and analytics applications

    Analysis as a tool people use repeatedly

    We turn analysis into an interactive application that is used again and again, instead of producing another static report.

    • Interactive analysis tools
    • Monitoring and tracking views
    • Reporting applications
  • Integrations

    Systems that talk to each other

    We connect APIs, databases, ecommerce platforms, internal systems and third-party services.

    • API integrations
    • Data transfer between existing systems
    • Automated data pipelines
  • Web applications

    Applications and portals that run in the browser

    We build web applications with real application logic, authentication, data processing and workflows.

    • Customer and employee portals
    • Administration interfaces
    • Mobile-friendly applications
  • Decision tools

    Logic that helps people decide

    Pricing engines, recommendation and comparison tools, forecasting tools, search systems and scoring models.

    • Pricing tools
    • Recommendation and comparison
    • Forecasting
    • Search and scoring

From a small utility to a substantial system

  1. A focused tool

    One clear task, for example an internal utility that replaces a spreadsheet, or a single automation. Quick to put into use.

  2. A complete application

    Several user groups, permissions and workflows in one web application.

  3. A large custom system

    Multiple integrations, data pipelines and interfaces, developed in phases.

Data in, tool out.

Every system is made of inputs, logic, an application and an outcome. Select a part to see what it connects to.

Do you recognise any of these?

  • Information is moved by hand between systems

    The same data gets typed into two or three places.

  • Complicated spreadsheets keep operations running

    One person understands how they work, and mistakes spread unnoticed.

  • The same administrative steps repeat

    Daily and weekly routine work takes time from the real work.

  • Platform limits are worked around

    The system in use lacks a needed feature, so it is done the roundabout way.

  • Reports are compiled manually

    Numbers are collected from several sources and combined again every time.

  • Product information is maintained inefficiently

    Product data lives in several files and systems.

  • Several tools that do not talk to each other

    Work breaks down each time it moves from one tool to another.

  • Analysis never becomes operational

    Results stay in a report and never become part of the work.

  • The process adapts to the software

    Software should support the process, not the other way around.

How we build

  1. Understand the workflow

    We go through how the work is done today: the data, the rules, the people and the existing systems.

  2. Model and design

    We define the data model, logic and interface before building. Analysis and rules can be carried straight into the software.

  3. Build in stages

    Working parts go live first, and users can try the tool during development.

  4. Connect and automate

    We integrate the tool with your existing systems and automate repetitive steps.

  5. Maintain and optimise

    We follow usage and data and develop the tool according to what is actually needed.

What follows

  • Less manual work

    Repetitive steps happen automatically.

  • One place for the work

    Data and workflows live in one tool instead of scattered ones.

  • Analysis in use

    Data and rules become part of the workflow instead of staying a report.

  • Software that supports the process

    The tool is built on the terms of the workflow.

The Verkkolynx difference

  • Data, development, ecommerce and automation in one team: we analyse the workflow, model it and build the tool to run it.
  • Development starts from the real workflow, not a generic software template.
  • Ownership and usage rights are agreed per project.
  • Security and permissions are designed in from the start.

Technically

  • Browser-based, mobile-friendly interfaces
  • Databases, APIs and back-end systems
  • Authentication and role-based permissions
  • Integrations with ecommerce platforms, internal systems and third-party services
  • Documentation and training at handover, plus maintenance and further development
