What we offer

Four services, available separately or combined

The four pillars of tracten – available individually or combined, from a focused review through to full implementation.

01

IT Consulting

We start with what you have: what runs, what holds, what slows things down. From that comes a target architecture you can reach in steps. That includes architecture reviews, data modelling and performance analysis down to the execution plan.

  • Requirements analysis
  • Architecture reviews
  • Technical concept design
  • Data modelling
  • Integration architectures
  • Performance analysis
More about this service
02

Software Development

Custom software solutions from a single source – from the database to the application. We build performant database solutions, REST APIs and service interfaces, modern backend systems in C# and Python, and custom desktop, mobile and business applications. Our portfolio is rounded out by ETL and data pipeline solutions, data migrations and performance tuning down to the execution plan. The result: consistent, efficiently integrated systems with no manual handoffs.

  • REST APIs
  • C# / Python
  • Mobile & business apps
  • ETL & data pipelines
  • Query & index optimisation
  • Data & analytics

03

Automation

Manual steps in between cost time and increase the risk of errors. We connect your systems, automate recurring tasks and let data arrive where it is needed – from a single handover to a fully running process. The aim is measurably more efficient business processes, not digitised manual labour.

  • Process automation
  • Workflow orchestration
  • Custom workflow development
  • API and system integration
  • Cloud and SaaS connectivity
  • AI-assisted workflows

04

Digitalisation & company website

Paper, PDF and scattered Excel lists can slow processes down, and a company that cannot be found does not exist for new customers. We replace manual steps in between, bring data together in one place and build the outward presence with it: company websites and landing pages that load fast, work reliably across common devices and screen sizes and are built for search engines from the first line – not optimised afterwards. This website is built to the same principles, and you can check that on it.

  • Digitalising workflows
  • Paperless processes
  • Company website & landing pages
  • Search engine optimisation (SEO)
  • Core Web Vitals & accessibility
  • Data-minimal, without tracking cookies

Products

Our own products in development

Three products of our own are taking shape alongside our project work. They take up what kept coming up in projects. We will announce them when they hold, not before.

About us

About tracten

Enterprise experience. Now for your project.

The company is new. The experience in it is not.

We combine hands-on experience from complex corporate and mid-market environments with end-to-end capability in concept design, software development, system integration, automation, project management and IT consulting.

From the first idea and strategic concept through technical implementation to successful rollout and further development: we understand requirements, processes and technologies as one connected system.

Focus: databases and custom software with SAP SQL Anywhere and Microsoft SQL Server. Data model, performance and application are in one pair of hands.

I bring architecture, database and application together into one system and take responsibility for the technical implementation, not just for the concept.

In the end your team should be able to carry on without us. We therefore plan documentation and handover from the start; scope and format are set out in the quote.

Fabio KetzlerPartner & Co-Founder

Focus: project, quality and product management. I keep requirements, deadlines and sign-offs together, in direct coordination with you and the vendors involved.

Between what is technically possible, what is actually needed and what makes economic sense usually lies the real decision. Preparing it is my job.

You will hear early when something is not working out, even when the news is unwelcome.

Let's talk about your project – initial assessment in 30 minutes

Whether you have a specific question or an unclear starting point – an initial assessment costs nothing. And the first step need not be a project: a performance check is one day of measurement with a report, a process check is one meeting. Both stand on their own, and you decide what follows.
