Entering the same data several times
Transferring information from an email into a spreadsheet and then copying it into another program again.
Small tools,
big impact.
Recurring tasks, cumbersome workflows or a missing software feature: we build custom business tools that help exactly where your company needs them.
Together we check, free of charge, which solution makes sense. You only receive a quote once the rough scope is clear.
PROUDLY SMALL↗
Do any of these workflows sound familiar?
Many small tasks work somehow. But they regularly cost time, because the existing programs don't quite fit the way the work is actually done.
Creating documents one by one
Manually assembling quotes, reports or other documents from existing information every single time.
Working with ever more complicated spreadsheets
Several employees edit the same Excel files, even though a shared application could make the work easier.
An important feature is missing
The existing software does almost everything. Only one specific step can't be handled properly with it.
Not every one of these tasks needs a new software platform. Sometimes a small tool or an additional feature is enough.
Projects and collaborations
What can a small software solution improve?
Some tasks can be automated. Others need a dedicated application or an additional feature in existing software. What matters is what actually makes day-to-day work easier.
A custom tool for a specific task.
Off-the-shelf software doesn't always fit the way a business works. We develop small custom applications that let your team handle exactly the tasks for which a suitable solution has been missing.

Automate recurring tasks.
Transferring data from one program to the next, updating spreadsheets or creating documents one by one: if your team regularly repeats the same steps, we check which of them can be automated.

SOCIVOLVE TESTING SUITE · IN-HOUSE DEVELOPMENT
One central application for the A/B testing process
Collecting customer feedback, planning experiments, documenting results and creating reports: for these tasks we developed our own software that brings several steps together in one shared interface.
CUSTOM APPLICATION
Appointment booking with automatic pre-qualification
A custom booking application combines the questions asked before scheduling with the selection of available times. Appointments are synced with Google Calendar, and confirmations and reminders are sent automatically.

View storeFrom the first idea to the finished tool.
You don't need to know yet which software you need. We can also work out together where a workflow can be improved.
- 01
Discuss your problem or idea
You tell us what you have in mind or which workflow is currently causing difficulties. You don't need a finished concept for this.
- 02
Find a solution together
We look at the existing process, discuss possible approaches and narrow down the features needed. These conversations and the joint analysis are free of charge.
- 03
Receive a fixed-price quote
As soon as the rough scope of features is clear, you receive an individual quote with a fixed price for the agreed implementation.
- 04
Implementation
If you accept the quote, development begins. You stay in direct contact with us and can follow the implementation.
Discuss a problem or idea
Until you receive the quote, the conversations and the joint analysis cost you nothing.
When does a custom software solution pay off?
A custom application initially involves development costs. In return, it can reduce ongoing software costs or simplify recurring tasks. Use the calculator to try out different assumptions.
You don't need to know these numbers to send a request. In a free conversation we first look at your workflow and check which solution could make sense.
What does the current process cost?
Ongoing costs: include hosting, maintenance, database and external services. All values are your own assumptions.
Fictional example calculation
The values show how costs and potential benefits can be compared. They are not a forecast for your business.
Monthly benefit incl. time value*
€511
8.4 hours of free capacity per month
Direct cost advantage€175
Value of freed-up working time€336
Payback · direct costs20 months
Payback · incl. time value6.8 months
*Freed-up working time is additional capacity, not an automatic cost saving. All values are assumptions; further follow-up costs can change the result.
Not every benefit can be expressed directly in euros. A better overview, fewer errors or simpler workflows can also be reasons for a custom solution.
Your point of contact
is also the developer.
Nicolai Clöß founded Proudly Small and works on development himself.
Alongside client work, Proudly Small runs its own projects, for which we regularly build small applications and automations.
That's why we know both sides: the question of what is actually needed in everyday business, and the technical implementation.
At Proudly Small you talk directly to us, without going through sales staff or intermediaries. From the first conversation through planning to development.
Discuss a problem or ideaAn idea or a
problem on your mind?
Briefly describe what you have in mind or which workflow is currently causing difficulties. You need neither a finished concept nor technical knowledge.
We'll look at your request and discuss with you whether and how Proudly Small can help you.
The first conversations and the joint problem analysis are free of charge. Only once the rough scope of features is clear will you receive a fixed-price quote.
