We develop simple software solutions for complicated IT problems - with a system: the Micromerce building block system.
What does it mean? The Micromerce building blocks developed by us are based on a selection of granular software systems and services. These, in turn, are built on common web technologies for easy integration into existing systems and can be flexibly combined with each other according to individual requirements.
The true superpower of our Micromerce building blocks, however, as is often the case, lies in the details, or here, "in the configuration". By considering the individual characteristics of your company, we tailor the range of functions and the user interface of our solutions to exactly what you and your employees need. And should these requirements change, we simply adapt the functions, and therefore your options. Quite pragmatically.
This enables you to carry out all necessary business processes conveniently and, if required, to automate them or have them done by the system without having to spend a long time learning how to use overloaded software.
With us, you can get a highly functional scalable digital solution that meets the needs of your company in the shortest possible time – whether it is an extension or replacement of the existing system or a new work management solution for all structures and processes.
All these solutions can be easily integrated and configured using our building block system. This allows you to start working quickly and still receive a customized solution that is tailored to your challenges, needs, and requirements - and can continue to evolve with you in the future.
