PHP development & process automation from Rheine, Germany

Web software that fits your company. Processes that keep running.

We build custom PHP applications, extend existing web software and automate recurring business processes. To do that we bring interfaces, data and the systems behind them together — to suit the people who work with them every day.

What should work better in your company?

Development

You need a new web application, additional functions or support with existing PHP software? We clarify the requirements and build a solution that fits into your working processes.

Automation

Does your team transfer data, track cases by email or carry out the same checks over and over? We examine those workflows and connect the systems involved into a traceable process.

Software from practice

Behind a good application there is a concrete task. These projects show which operational requirements we have already translated into software.

Lieferweg.de

A marketplace with three views of the same data: guests search by their address, partners maintain their offer, administration keeps the overview.

Our part: frontend, backend and partner area, ordering and review system, rights and roles.

Mobile data capture

A working interface for day-to-day branch work: scan the EAN, load the item data, assign it to the right stock location. Ordering, counting and labelling in one place.

Our part: design and development of the application including the connection to the item database.

Purchasing software

From the enquiry form to goods receipt in one system: offers, email handling, shipping labels and barcode scanning work together.

Our part: development of the business application and the automated steps in between.

Where does your team lose time between systems?

An enquiry arrives by email. Details are copied into a spreadsheet, questions are forwarded, and the data is entered again later. Those handovers are often the point where work gets stuck. We examine which steps can be connected and where a deliberate approval remains sensible.

Today's workflow

  1. The enquiry arrives by email
  2. Details are copied into a spreadsheet
  3. Questions go back and forth by email
  4. The same data is entered again later
  5. The status is in nobody's overview

A possible workflow

  1. The enquiry arrives through a form
  2. Required details are checked on arrival
  3. The case goes to the person responsible
  4. The data is ready in the target system
  5. Unclear cases wait for an approval

A simplified example of handling an enquiry. How it is built depends on your systems and requirements.

The CoreSystem: our own basis for software that fits

Behind the CoreSystem is our experience from building custom applications. We show you which functions are available today, how the system can be used and which adaptations your project needs. Whether it suits your project is something we clarify from your requirements.

  • Sign-in, rights and rolesWho may see and change what is there from the start.
  • Documents and mediaA store with permissions, usable directly in the interfaces.
  • Workflows and recurring tasksBusiness workflows can be stored and run on a schedule.

From the first conversation to a usable solution

Understand

We discuss your task, the systems you have and the result you want.

Plan

We bound the work, clarify dependencies and agree sensible steps together.

Build

You get insight into the progress and can judge the emerging solution against concrete workflows.

Roll out and develop further

We plan the handover, explain how it is used and discuss ongoing support.

Let us talk about your task.

You do not need to have formulated your project in technical terms yet. Describe what happens today and what should change. Together we work out which next steps make sense.

Wir können uns den anderen Bewertungen hier nur anschließen. Die PHP Schmiede leistet eine hervorragende Arbeit. Von der Projektplanung, über die Umsetzung bis hin zur Abrechnung gibt es absolut nichts zu bemängeln. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die aktive Mitarbeit durch die PHP Schmiede. Besprochenes wird nicht einfach hingenommen und umgesetzt. Die PHP Schmiede sucht immer nach einem Austausch, widerspricht gelegentlich konstruktiv unseren Ideen, kommt proaktiv mit Ansätzen zu uns, um so letztendlich die bestmögliche Lösung für uns zu finden.
