Enterprise software and AI for the Mittelstand, built to be owned
We are a Munich engineering firm that builds the AI, commerce and platform systems mid-sized companies depend on. Senior engineers, your code and your IP, no vendor lock-in, delivered from a scoped 90-day pilot to production.
Who you're working with
What the Mittelstand gets from Oronts
Most Mittelstand digitalization stalls on two fears: lock-in to a vendor you cannot leave, and dependence on staff you cannot hire. We remove both. You own every line of code and the architecture, delivery is senior-only, and a documented handover means your team can run the system without us.
- You own the code and the IP, with full documentation and handover
- Senior engineers only, no junior staffing and no body-leasing
- Vendor-neutral: we pick the right tool, not the one we resell
- German engineering with GDPR and EU hosting by design
- From a scoped 90-day pilot to production, with clear milestones

Where we help mid-sized companies
Concrete engineering, not slideware. From legacy modernization to production AI, commerce and data integration, delivered by senior engineers and owned by you.
Legacy modernization
We modernize the ERP, PIM and shop systems your business runs on, without a risky big-bang rewrite, keeping operations live throughout.
AI you can actually deploy
Production AI agents, retrieval over your own documents, and automation that runs against real systems, with human review where it matters.
Commerce and PIM
Headless commerce and product information at the intersection of Pimcore, Vendure and AI, an area most AI shops and most Pimcore shops do not cover together.
Data and integration
We connect ERP, PIM, shop and marketplaces with idempotent, monitored pipelines, so data stays correct as your systems change.
Sovereignty and compliance
EU hosting, GDPR by design, a ready data-processing agreement and a documented subprocessor list for your procurement team.
No founder dependency
Documented architecture, full code ownership, structured handover and a vetted senior partner network that can support delivery.
How a 90-day pilot runs
A defined engagement from technical clarity to production-ready delivery. Each pilot is individually scoped with milestones, risks and success criteria.
Clarity
We map the real problem, the systems involved and the success criteria, then agree the scope, milestones and risks before any build commitment.
Build
Senior engineers build the critical system in short cycles. You see working software early and often, not a status deck.
Harden
We make it production-ready: tests, CI/CD, monitoring, security and a documented architecture your team can operate.
Scale path
You receive the full code, the handover and a clear path to extend the system, with optional senior retainer support if you want it.
From legacy systems to a platform you own
A typical Mittelstand modernization. We wrap and replace, keeping operations live, until you run a modern system you own outright.

Let us scope your pilot
Bring a concrete challenge. We will define the milestones, the risks and the success criteria, and tell you honestly whether a 90-day pilot is the right first step.
