Development
Software that does exactly what is needed — built to grow alongside the organisation.
Development
Custom software development is the design and construction of applications specifically tailored to an organisation's business processes and technical requirements, as opposed to off-the-shelf software.
Proven Technology, Modern Approach
The foundation is always solid: Symfony, Laravel, PHP and Shopware, with Docker containers and automated CI/CD pipelines. Where modern tooling or AI adds value — in code analysis, test generation or documentation — we put it to use. Not as a sales pitch, but as a practical tool that makes the end result better.
Greenfield or Existing Codebase
Whether it concerns a brand new platform or extending existing software — we adapt the approach. Preferably agile (Scrum, Kanban), but pragmatic and direct where needed. Short lines, fast feedback, and direct collaboration at the helm.
Built for the Long Term
We look beyond the current ticket. Scalable architecture, thorough tests and clear documentation ensure the software can grow with your organisation. And that you retain ownership — not dependent on any single party.
Working smarter
Automated code generation and analysis accelerate the development process. Architecture decisions and code review remain human craftsmanship — modern tooling recognizes patterns, generates tests, and writes documentation.
Frequently asked questions about Development
-
What does custom software development cost?
What drives the price: the number of integrations, whether existing data has to come along, and whether there is a system underneath that keeps running during the build. After a first conversation you know the order of magnitude.
A fixed figure comes later, and that is deliberate. A client names four integrations and it turns out to be six — not through carelessness, but because the fifth and sixth only surface once someone says no to something. That is what the assessment is for. A price given before that sits on a scope that does not exist yet.
-
How long does it take to develop a Symfony application?
A smaller application can be ready in a few weeks, a complex platform takes several months. After the assessment, a realistic timeline with clear milestones is provided.
-
Does ten Bruggencate Development also work with existing codebases?
Yes. Extending, improving or refactoring existing applications is a core part of our service. After a code audit, we assess the current state and make a plan.

One conversation is usually enough to tell whether it fits. A reply within 24 hours, and no middlemen.
