About us

Digital solutions for the common good

We bring the benefits of digitalisation to where they really count: education, health, public administration, social services and the environment. So that more time is left for what matters!

Who we are
- Developers, consultants, co-creators. What connects us is curiosity, friendship and the ambition to make things better and, in doing so, to support those who carry responsibility for others.
How we work
- We start by talking to the people on the ground, because their experience is the foundation of every good system. After that we analyse processes and existing systems and work along clear values. Solutions and technologies always come last. More on our values-based approach in the FAQ.
Why us
- We combine public-sector experience with software development, AI and a strong grasp of processes and requirements. And we work in a way that is structured, iterative, curious and close to the people involved.

FAQ

What organisations ask us most often before working with us. Your question isn't here? Write to us.

Which organisations do you work with?

With organisations that create social value or want to use digitalisation responsibly. Our focus is on public administrations, hospitals, education and social-service providers, non-profit organisations, associations and grassroots initiatives. We also work with companies when their values and plans are a good fit for us. So perhaps with you before long? :)

What does a project cost?

That depends. After a free, no-obligation first conversation we are happy to put together an initial, transparent estimate. We are well aware how tight budgets in the public and non-profit sector often are, and we treat them accordingly.

Do you also work with non-profit organisations on a small budget?

Yes, absolutely! For non-profit and social organisations with limited funds we always find a way - we adapt scope, timeline and price to what is possible. Feel free to tell us what is realistic for you; a worthwhile project should not fail over a missing budget.

How does working together unfold?

We start with a free first conversation in which we come to understand your request and how the work actually runs. From that we develop a clearly defined proposal with scope, timeline and cost. Delivery happens in small iterations, so you see usable results early and can steer the course at any time.

What does a values-based approach to software development mean?

We build software not only for functionality, cost and speed, but also with an eye on what it does to people. We orient ourselves towards core values such as human-centredness, data protection, security, fairness, transparency, accessibility and sustainability.

We keep those values in view across the whole development process. In practice that means: we involve users early, collect only the data we need, keep the software usable with as few barriers as possible and make relevant decisions comprehensible. We also check for possible disadvantages and ask of every feature what concrete benefit it creates for people.

How do you handle data protection and data sovereignty?

For us, data protection is not a burden but part of working by our values. The data of your clients and your staff comes first. We work by privacy by design and security by design, in line with the GDPR and with as little data as possible. Transparency and comprehensible decisions matter to us just as much.

Do you use artificial intelligence?

Sometimes. We only use AI where it delivers concrete value, and we weigh that against risks such as bias and resource consumption. We assess every AI application against the risk-based approach of the EU AI Act. AI decisions stay explainable and remain under human control.

Do you also take on operation and maintenance?

Yes. We stay with applications after launch too, with maintenance, further development and handover to your team. We pay attention to interoperability and portability and document things so that you can carry on independently or switch providers at any time.

Do you work outside Munich as well?

Yes. We are based in Munich, but the work happens mostly remotely. For kick-off workshops and important meetings we are happy to come to you on site.

What we do

From a website through custom software to an application that already runs.

Three kinds of work we take on - depending on whether you need a web presence, an application that doesn't exist yet, or one that is already running with us.

  • Codi Web

    Websites

    Strong design. High performance. Built to be found.

    From a company website to a landing page: current technology, clean SEO and a structure that stays easy to maintain.

  • Codi Custom

    Custom IT solutions

    Complex requirements. Software built for your case.

    Web applications, internal tools, automations and interfaces - with databases, logins, roles, dashboards and APIs. Priced per project.

  • Codi Apps

    Ready-made applications

    Complex software solutions, built and run by us.

    Applications we develop and operate ourselves - you use them without setting up a development project of your own.
