Software development and IT support for Gelsenkirchen businesses
Gelsenkirchen invested early in fiber and digital government. We help local businesses get real value out of that with custom software development, solid websites and dependable IT, from our office in Mülheim an der Ruhr, about 25 minutes away.

Gelsenkirchen
The fiber is in the ground. According to the city, every commercial district in Gelsenkirchen has high-speed internet, and in 2018 the state of North Rhine-Westphalia picked Gelsenkirchen as one of five digital model municipalities. For software development in Gelsenkirchen, that means the infrastructure is ready. What matters now is the applications that run on it.
If orders still come in by phone and sticky note, routes get planned in spreadsheets or inspection reports get retyped by hand, that’s where we come in. We build tools that fit how your business already runs instead of forcing it into an off-the-shelf product.
Our office is just over 20 kilometers from downtown Gelsenkirchen. It’s a drive we’re glad to make, whether for a workshop at your site, setting up new equipment or simply a conversation at your meeting table, and you always deal with the same three co-founders who build your project.
Gelsenkirchen’s economy: energy, logistics, healthcare
Gelsenkirchen’s economic development agency lists eight focus industries: chemicals, retail, healthcare, innovative services, creative industries, logistics, metalworking and future energy. The agency is based in the Wissenschaftspark in Ückendorf, a science park built on former industrial land that stands for the city’s structural change.
Westfälische Hochschule, a university of applied sciences, is headquartered in Gelsenkirchen and has a computer science and communications department. Under the banner “Vernetzte Stadt” (the connected city), Gelsenkirchen is digitizing its administration, mobility and economy, which is a good prompt for small and mid-sized businesses to digitize their own processes too.
Chemicals and energy
Scholven and Horst are home to one of Germany’s largest refinery and petrochemical sites, and future energy is one of the city’s declared focus industries. Service providers and suppliers working around these plants need digital job scheduling, auditable documentation and records they can find quickly.
Logistics and the port
Four highways with ten interchanges and the leading public port on the Rhine-Herne Canal make Gelsenkirchen a logistics location. What counts here is integration between warehouse, dispatch and customer portal, plus reporting that’s current every day.
Healthcare
According to the city, around 22 percent of all employees in Gelsenkirchen work in healthcare. Hospitals, practices, care and rehab facilities benefit from digital scheduling, secure document processing and IT that simply works day to day.
Metalworking, retail and services
Metalworking, retail and innovative services round out the focus industries. For these businesses it’s about websites that help customers and job seekers find them, digital order intake, and IT that runs reliably without an in-house IT department.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How often can you be on site in Gelsenkirchen?
As often as your project calls for. From Mülheim we can reach you in about 25 minutes, and we’re happy to come in person for every appointment: an introduction, a workshop, a progress review or setting up new equipment. If you prefer video, phone or email, that works as well.
Do you support small businesses without an IT department?
Yes. That’s exactly when a steady point of contact pays off. We handle hosting, domains, email and backups, set up laptops and workstations, and take care of ongoing administration.
Do you have experience with industrial companies?
Our reference project is B³ Quarzsandwerke GmbH, a quartz sand works in Haltern am See. We installed and administer their security cameras, set up the weighing software for the truck scale and sourced their laptops. We also handle hosting and the domain, and most recently we built their new website with products, test certificates, soil recycling and truck-driver information.
Can you build on the software we already have?
Often that’s the more economical route. We look at your systems, find out which interfaces exist, and then recommend whether an integration, an extension or a replacement makes more sense.
Can you digitize our order and route planning?
It often starts with a shared job overview that the office and your drivers or technicians see at the same time, plus an app for updates from the road. Complex route optimization is a job for specialized software; we don’t rebuild it, but if you already use one, we connect to it.
