We help you with development, maintenance and upgrades of custom software using Symfony, Laravel, Shopware, PHP and Pimcore.
One dedicated point of contact from start to finish. No rotating faces, no communication through middlemen — that makes the collaboration personal and efficient.
Projects like Pleio and Blackstone Footwear show how that works in practice — from government and education to e-commerce and business software.

Projects
We work on projects with large datasets and high traffic, where scalability, performance and security are key.
For clients like Pleio, TES SV and Blackstone Footwear, we built solutions that serve millions of users — with a strong focus on security and GDPR compliance.
Beyond client work, we also develop our own initiatives where technology and real-world practice come together.

Frequently asked questions
That depends on the scope and complexity of your project. After a no-obligation conversation, you receive a transparent quote — no hidden costs, no surprises.
That varies significantly. An extension may take a few weeks, a completely new platform several months. After the assessment, you always receive a realistic timeline.
We fit into existing teams and workflows — Jira, GitLab, Scrum, Kanban, whatever works. Direct communication without intermediaries makes the collaboration fast and efficient.
That happens regularly. After a code audit, we assess the current state and make a plan for further development, maintenance or migration — without losing what's already been built.
At ten Bruggencate Development, you work directly with whoever actually builds your project. No rotating faces, no overhead, no intermediaries — direct communication, short lines and responsibility from start to finish.
Yes. After delivery, we provide structural maintenance: security updates, bug fixes, performance monitoring and ongoing development. The collaboration continues as long as you wish.
Through automated code generation, testing and documentation, we deliver typical projects significantly faster. Complex projects benefit the most. Architecture, decisions and review remain human work — modern tooling accelerates the pace.
Yes, without exception. Every line of code is reviewed by Guy ten Bruggencate before it goes to production. Automated analysis supplements the human review, resulting in more thorough quality control.
