Us - Develore

TAILORS AT YOUR SERVICE

We do each project as a custom-made work

What makes a good custom-made suit? It's tailored to suit you, it uses the best materials chosen for the purpose, and it's easy to modify when needed.

Good software is similar. We tailor them.

Develore was born in 2007 out of frustration. The company's founding members, experienced coders, worked in a large IT house. The company's expertise was top-notch, but the customer was sometimes forgotten. The large organization's structure and processes made projects rigid and heavy.

An idea crept into the founders' minds: could things be done differently, more flexibly and agilely? So that the value and experience the customer receives is at the center of everything and the work isn't mass production?

From this evolved Develore's operating principle, which still holds: we do our work on the customers' terms.

We create software that fits you like a well-made custom work. Sometimes the software can be an almost ready product that only needs minor adjustments. Sometimes it can be accomplished with low code tools. Sometimes it requires more handwork.

The most important thing is the benefit you receive, not the chosen technology.

We are a tailoring team of about a dozen employees. We make exactly the kind of software you need - and nothing else. If something works, we don't go changing it.

This is how we do our work

Our way of working is crystallized in our four core values:

Transparency: We define the project tasks together with the customer. Possible additional work is always agreed upon together; we don't invent new ones ourselves. We always clearly explain our billing principles and report on results regularly. The applications and software we create remain for the customer's use and further development even after our collaboration ends.
Quality: Our professional pride is so strong that we don't let anything subpar out of our hands. Sometimes this means we do a little more than we've promised. We ensure project success by doing the initial definition to perfection.
Integrity: We honestly tell if something goes wrong. We fix mistakes openly and don't hide them. We bill for what has been agreed upon and don't send surprise invoices.
Relaxed attitude: We don't take ourselves too seriously, even though we do our work to perfection. We do things together as a work community and don't leave anyone in the lurch. We don't have extra organizational levels and administrative structures. We explain things thoroughly until we're sure you've understood what we're talking about. We do all this with a suitable twinkle in our eye.

Our goal is to grow together with our customers. We don't aim for rapid growth through, for example, quick company acquisitions.

This poses a challenge for us: we do each project in a way that enables our customers' growth. Then we grow as well.

However, what we think about our work is not the most important thing. Our customers' experiences are what matter.
