Software company, ok. Tell me a little bit more...

We're building SaaS solutions for small businesses.

CentralStationCRM

For sure the easiest CRM software available.

CentralPlanner

Managing reservations is as easy as pie using CentralPlanner.

We believe in six simple rules.

1

Simplicity & ease of use

Great software comes from top of the line software design and a lean user interface. Software is not worth a thing without an intuitive usabilty.

4

Customer is king

As Software as a Service (SaaS) provider, we are building the best product and service for all of our clients. Therefore it's as easy and lean as possible.

2

Clarity

What counts for design, also counts for our communication. We don't try to talk you into something with sales and marketing slang but clearly articulate conditions and terms of our services.

5

Transparency in pricing

We monthly bill our customers. We don't do long term contracts, don't have signup fees or hidden cost. You won't find any of these when doing business with us.

3

Honesty

Business relations are based on honesty and trust. Our clients are our most important stakeholders. You hear about good or bad news at first. We don't take compromise in this.

6

We don't work for investors & VCs

42he is the company we'd love to build and we did it on our own. We don't take venture capital and rely on other peoples agenda. We report to our clients, not to venture capitalists or the stock market.

This is the team you'd join forces with.
