Who we are

dotenv is a software house: we design and build custom mobile apps, web apps, portals and management systems, from the database to the UI, integrated with ERP, MES and the other systems already in use.

How we work with startups, SMEs, enterprises and the public sector.

dotenv also gave birth to Neurally, an AI company with two products: Neurally Platform (company knowledge governance) and AREA (object detection on video). Its team also works on our projects. · how we use artificial intelligence →

From idea to business

Have an idea, and want to know if it holds up?

An MVP in eight weeks with a fixed delivery date, released to real users. At the end, a dossier with the metrics, costs and risks of phase 2: you decide whether to fund it, and our success fee applies only if you sign it.

Frequently asked

What kind of software does dotenv build?

Custom software for the client that commissions it: internal management systems, portals for customers and suppliers, apps for field staff. One example: a self-service portal where the client’s customers follow the status of their invoices.

What does a custom project cost?

It depends on the scope and on the number of systems to integrate. You indicate the budget range in the contact form, and if it is out of range for the project you have in mind we say so on the first call.

Do you build software with artificial intelligence?

Yes: computer vision on images, speech recognition to transcribe meetings, automatic classification of text and content. And we use it in the development of every project: client data only passes through dotenv’s private AI services.

Which sectors does it work in?

Many. Those with a page of their own on the site are these: manufacturing; logistics; medical and scientific; auctions and proceedings; telco and digital services; e-commerce and marketplaces; public administration. We have also worked, among others, in pharmaceuticals, automotive, banking, food & beverage, entertainment and radio.

How does it start?

With a call or a video call, free of charge. Then a visit to your site, to see how you work today, and from there we write a scope split into phases, each with a date.

What happens if priorities change halfway through the project?

It happens, and we have learned it at our own expense too: when you fall in love with a project you risk moving at a different speed from the client’s, or beyond their budget. That is why every phase is decided together, on the results of the one before.

What happens after release?

When software goes into production it is normal for something to need redoing, and we are there to do it: defects we fix at our own cost, under the legal warranty. For ongoing maintenance there is a separate, paid agreement; if you need guaranteed response times we write them into it, even while the software is under warranty.
