Software that fits your processes — not the other way round.
EA Digital Solutions builds tailor-made web applications and digital tools for companies in the DACH region — straight from the developer, without agency overhead and without off-the-shelf systems. We don't build cookie-cutter websites: every project starts with the question of which specific business process the software should support or automate. The result is applications that do exactly what your company needs — no more, no less.

Typical Challenges
Every standard solution covers 70–80% of your requirements. The missing 20% is what your staff compensate with Excel workarounds, duplicate entries and manual checks — every single day.
SaaS products charge per user. Five users become fifty — and €500/month becomes €5,000. With custom-built software you pay once and scale without limits.
The SaaS vendor changes the UI or deprecates a feature critical to your process. You have no control. With your own software, you decide when and whether anything changes.
Standard tools often have rudimentary APIs. Every integration costs extra — and only works as long as the vendor maintains the API. Custom software is built with open interfaces from day one.
Staff spend hours copying and pasting between systems. Every manual step is an error source — and every error costs time and money. Custom software automates these handoffs.
The vendor decides when new features arrive. You cannot execute your own roadmap because you are waiting on external updates. With your own software, you set the pace.

In Detail
Tailor-made software instead of site-builder compromises.
WordPress, Wix and Squarespace reliably solve standard problems. But as soon as your business model has its own logic — special pricing, an industry-specific booking system, an interface to a legacy system — these platforms reach their limits. Stacking plugins, building workarounds, making compromises: the result is slow websites and constant maintenance.
Our approach: Next.js, TypeScript and Payload CMS as the technical foundation. For you that means lightning-fast load times thanks to server-side rendering, a CMS back end your team can use without developer skills, and a codebase that stays maintainable and extensible for years — without plugin chaos.
What sets us apart from agencies: you work directly with the developer. No project management layer that waters down requirements. No junior developers following a template. When you describe a technical problem, the person you're talking to understands the code behind it.
Typical projects from our portfolio: company websites with a multilingual CMS and SEO optimisation. B2B customer portals with protected areas, document management and custom dashboards. Product configurators with real-time pricing and checkout integration. Internal tools that connect existing systems intelligently — for example an order intake that automatically creates quotes in the ERP.

Real Project
For E-TEC/TMC we developed a fully custom system for managing training sessions, certifications and client projects — built with Next.js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL.
✓ All management processes consolidated in one platform. Previously: 3 separate tools + Excel. Now: one platform.
As a Graz-based software developer, we understand Styrian business requirements first-hand. From the Graz city centre to the industrial surrounding areas, we help SMEs replace manual processes with custom software — no vendor lock-in, no agency overhead. Local presence means short feedback loops: in-person meetings in Graz, direct availability, and a partner who understands how Austrian businesses actually operate.
Our Process
Together we clarify what you need — and what you really need. A request like "we need a new website" often hides a concrete business problem: too few enquiries, manual data entry, lack of visibility. The result is a concrete technical concept with timeline and budget.
We design the system architecture and create wireframes or a UI concept for you to approve before development starts. We also define the data structure in the CMS so your team can maintain content independently later — without touching the code.
Development in two-week sprints with regular feedback. After every sprint you see real progress in a staging environment you can test yourself. Change requests go straight into the next sprint — no black box, no surprises at launch.
Deployment on Vercel with a CI/CD pipeline, training for your team in the CMS back end and complete technical documentation. On request we also take over ongoing operation with a maintenance contract: updates, performance monitoring and further development.
