Custom software for manufacturing

We build bespoke software and AI for industrial SMEs in the DACH region. Not a generic app agency, but developers who understand manufacturing, ERP and the shopfloor. What proves itself and fits as a product, factorIQ delivers off the shelf.

What we build

Custom software that creates value in production, not just in the demo.

Custom software & AI development

  1. ERP & system integration

    We connect your existing systems through their interfaces instead of replacing them: ERP, MES, PIM and the tools your team already relies on.

  2. Shopfloor & IoT connectivity

    Machine data, sensors and edge devices brought into one place, so what happens on the shopfloor becomes usable in your software.

  3. ML & edge applications

    Machine learning where it earns its keep: quality checks, forecasting and models that run locally, close to the machine, when latency or data residency demands it.

  4. Bespoke web applications

    Tools built around your process, not the other way around: dashboards, configurators and internal apps that fit how you actually work.

Proven in manufacturing

Selected implementations for industrial SMEs in the DACH region.

Shopfloor <-> ERP: Real-Time Data Exchange
4 November 2024

maxon motor, a leading Swiss manufacturer of precision electric drive systems, partnered with iosys to develop a custom software bridge connecting their production machines to their MES/ERP system.

Challenge: No suitable standard product to connect machinery to ERP for OT-IT convergence
Result: Bidirectional communication, decentralized data access, cost savings and improved efficiency
Live Shopfloor Data from a Legacy ERP
30 June 2026

DUAP AG, a Swiss precision manufacturer of injection systems for large engines, partnered with iosys to unlock its proprietary, undocumented ERP and put live production data onto the shopfloor: a Production Control Center with ten real-time dashboards.

Challenge: Valuable production data locked inside a proprietary, undocumented ERP, out of reach of the shopfloor
Result: Ten real-time shopfloor dashboards in weeks, ~30 engineering hours, and production data that never leaves the building
Automating Partner Billing: 90% Time Savings
15 June 2025

AureusDrive, a Swiss E-Bike pioneer, partnered with iosys to develop an automated cloud solution for partner commission billing using Azure Storage and Databricks.

Challenge: Manual partner billing process couldn't scale with rapidly growing partner network
Result: 90% time savings, scalable cloud solution, solid data quality for partner commissions

How we work

From a focused first step to software that runs in production, and productization when it makes sense.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We look at your process, systems and data first. You get a clear picture of what is worth building and what it would take, before anyone writes code.

    Clarity before commitment

  2. 02

    Build it custom

    We build the software around your process and connect it to your existing systems. Small, working increments you can see and use, not a big-bang delivery at the end.

    Working software, early

  3. 03

    Productize with factorIQ

    When a capability proves itself and generalizes, factorIQ turns it into a product you can run off the shelf, instead of maintaining a one-off forever.

    From project to product

Questions about custom software development

What custom software from iosys involves, and how it fits an industrial SME.

  1. What is custom software?

    Custom software is built for your specific process instead of bought off the shelf. It fits how you work, connects to the systems you already run, and belongs to you rather than forcing your process into a standard product.

  2. How are you different from a generic app agency?

    We build for manufacturing. We understand ERP, MES, shopfloor data and the constraints of an industrial environment, so the software fits the factory rather than a generic consumer app pattern.

  3. What does custom software cost?

    It depends on scope, and Discovery exists to make that concrete before you commit. We start with a focused first step so you see value early rather than paying for a large project upfront.

  4. Who owns the code and the data?

    You do. You choose where it runs, too: Swiss hosting when data residency matters, or in your own environment when you prefer to keep everything in house.

  5. What happens after the software is live?

    We stay available for maintenance and further development. Where a capability generalizes, factorIQ can take it over as a product, so you are not maintaining a one-off forever.

... and factorIQ turns it into a product

We build custom software for your operation. When a capability proves itself and generalizes, factorIQ turns it into a product you can run off the shelf, so you are not maintaining a one-off forever.
