MVP – From the idea to the solution
In the beginning there is always an idea…
… usually the simplest ideas are the most successful. There are basically no “bad ideas” either. It is important to approach ideas professionally, to deal with them objectively, to evaluate them and to develop them further. Often the greatest opportunities come from initial failures.
We offer you the right tools and support you in finding ideas and new ways for your company.
Web development
Custom fullstack web development has been one of our core competencies for many years and BITS has now successfully completed over 250 web development projects.
Besides our expert knowledge in backend and frontend development of simple or very complex individual web applications, we also support them in the conception, architecture or operation of their individual solutions.
They can also rely on BITS as a reliable partner for the further development or optimization of existing Internet/cloud system landscapes.

We support you in the development of your individual mobile apps for iOS and Android, starting with the idea up to the GoLive in the app stores.
We use both hybrid and native technologies, depending on what the project requires or what makes sense. In addition to the mobile apps, we also create the backend required for operation and integrate these into your existing system landscape.
BITS has developed both B2B and B2C apps in the past and continues to operate them successfully today.
