Custom web application development
House of Devs designs and builds custom web applications, portals, dashboards and integrations for organizations that want to move beyond separate tools and manual work.
Standard software is useful when your process is standard. But many organizations get stuck when information is spread across spreadsheets, mailboxes, separate tools and systems that do not work well together.
A custom web application is a good option when your work needs to be set up in a smarter, safer or more scalable way. Think of a customer portal, internal dashboard, planning workflow or an application that connects existing systems.
At House of Devs, we do not start with technology, but with your process. We map out what happens now, where time is lost and which users will work with the application later. You can read more about this way of working on our approach.
A good web application makes work clearer. In our work, you will see various applications, from portals to applications where data, processes and users come together.
For Control Energy, we worked on a portal. Cases such as Equaflor Carnations and Ciekeboe also show how custom software can align with a specific process or digital product.

Portals for customers or partners Give external users access to the right information, requests, documents or statuses in a clear environment.
Dashboards for better control Bring data together in overviews that help you make decisions faster and be less dependent on separate exports.
Workflows for internal work Make recurring steps transparent, assign tasks and prevent important actions from getting stuck in email or spreadsheets.
Integrations between systems Make existing software work together better, so information does not need to be updated manually in multiple places.
Building a web application requires clear choices. That is why we work in manageable steps. This keeps it clear what we are building, why we are building it and what users need in order to work with it.
We translate the first ideas into functional choices, screens, data flows and technical building blocks. Then we develop iteratively, with room to test and adjust along the way.
On our approach, we explain how we collaborate from the first exploration through to further development.
1. Explore We discuss goals, users, existing systems and the points where the process currently gets stuck.
2. Design We make the application concrete with flows, screens and priorities for the first version.
3. Build and test We develop the web application in manageable parts and test along the way with the people who will use it.
4. Continue developing After launch, we can improve the application based on usage, feedback and new requirements.
The best technical choice is the one that fits your process, your team and your future plans. Sometimes a compact internal tool is enough. In other situations, a scalable portal is needed with user roles, data flows and integrations with existing software.
We focus on performance, maintainability, security, permission structures and a setup that can be expanded later. This prevents the first version from quickly becoming a new limitation.
Integrations are often an important part as well. Think of retrieving, enriching or forwarding information between systems, so your team spends less time on manual work.
The cost of a custom web application depends on the desired functionality, the number of user roles, the design, integrations with other systems and the level of management after delivery.
That is why we first define the scope together. What must the first version absolutely be able to do? What can come later? And which choices ensure you get value quickly without unnecessary complexity?
Would you like to discuss whether a custom solution fits your process? Then get in touch via contact us. We are happy to help you think through the best route.
Functionality The more processes, roles and exceptions the application needs to support, the larger the scope.
Integrations Integrations with existing systems require additional analysis, coordination and technical setup.
Design and ease of use An application that is used every day requires clear screens and logical flows.
Management after launch Further development, monitoring and maintenance ensure that the application can grow with the organization.
Projects are the best way to show how an idea is translated into a working digital solution. View cases with portals, applications, dashboards and integrations.

From Rentman to AFAS, without retyping a thing. Expo Flora creates its invoices in Rentman and runs its financial administration in AFAS. We built the integration in between, so invoices are booked automatically, the original PDF comes along and payment information flows back to Rentman.

AMIGO stands for All Maintenance In Good Order, and that is exactly what the app does. Horticultural businesses run all their service and maintenance in it, from the first request to the confirmed visit by the supplier. We built the app.

We work remotely, with our home base in the Netherlands and team members spread across Europe. All within the same time zone, allowing us to move quickly and collaborate closely.
That depends on the scope. Important factors include functionality, user roles, integrations, design, data models and management after launch. That is why we start with a clear exploration, so you know which components are needed for a strong first version.
The lead time differs per project. A compact internal tool can be delivered faster than an extensive portal with multiple roles and integrations. We work in phases, so the planning remains clear and there is room to test along the way.
Custom software makes sense when standard software does not support your process well, causes a lot of manual work or cannot connect sufficiently with existing systems. If the way you work is your distinctive strength, a custom solution can offer more value than a generic one.
Yes, that is often an important part of a web application. Think of integrations with administrative software, CRM, planning, inventory, data platforms or other internal systems. The possibilities depend on the available APIs and data quality.
After launch, the application can be maintained and developed further. Think of updates, improvements, monitoring, new features and support with questions. This keeps the application reliable and aligned with changing processes.
Yes. It is often wise to start with a focused first version that solves the most important process. After that, you can expand based on feedback, usage data and new priorities.
