Built by engineers who build and operate their own products. We connect your workflows, applications and infrastructure—from the first useful release to day-to-day operations.
For established businesses, software companies and agency partners in Europe and the US.
What we build
Start with the bottleneck, the service you want to launch, or the system you need to improve. We shape the software around it.
For established businesses replacing disconnected spreadsheets and manual handoffs.
Give your team one dependable place to work.
Discuss your projectFor hospitality, event, mobility and service operators connecting customers with capacity.
Keep the customer journey and the operation in sync.
Discuss your projectFor software companies building a product or strengthening an existing platform.
Build a product your team can launch, run and extend.
Discuss your projectOur own products
These are products we build ourselves—not commissioned client projects or customer endorsements. They show the workflows we understand and the software we can deliver.
Infrastructure & operational software
Kubernetes teams need to understand resource costs and decide which changes to make.
A cost-visibility and optimisation platform connecting infrastructure data, recommendations and operational dashboards.
Experience connecting operational data to useful dashboards, permissions and actions in your business platform.
Hospitality & booking
Guests and hospitality operators need a connected journey from finding a room to managing its booking.
A hospitality marketplace with guest search and booking flows, backed by hotel, room and availability management.
Practical experience coordinating availability, customer journeys and operational changes in a booking or service platform.
Mobility & connected applications
Mobility operators need to coordinate ride requests, drivers and the operating team in one system.
A mobility platform with rider and driver application flows, dispatch, trip management and an operator console.
Experience building connected mobile and web applications around time-sensitive operations and shared backend workflows.
A public site or working application does not establish customer adoption. No customer numbers or commercial results are claimed.
Why Grundlabs
Owning products means working through the decisions that remain after a demo: who can do what, how money moves, what happens when a service fails, and how the system is handed over.
Get practical input on scope and everyday usability. HermesLodge connects search, availability and the booking journey; Fahra connects the rider, driver and operator.
Deployment and monitoring are considered alongside development. K8Cost and LayerOne demonstrate our experience with infrastructure-facing software.
Keep experiences consistent across devices. Fahra’s mobile application, operational console and backend are developed as one connected platform.
We work with bookings, payments, roles, subscriptions and integrations. EventStuffer’s marketplace and Paya’s invoicing flows provide concrete examples.
Our published terms transfer custom work after full payment. Third-party licences and pre-existing components retain their terms. Documentation, accounts and infrastructure access are specified in the proposal.
Grundlabs is operated by Hakob Chobanyan in Schwerte, Germany. The proposal names your engineering lead and review cadence, so decisions and progress have a clear owner.
We choose architecture and deployment regions around your workload and intended users. Booking responsiveness, dashboard speed and real-time behaviour are tested in that context.
Eligible builds include 12 months of managed hosting and business email setup within agreed limits. One point of contact can prepare the application, deployment and launch arrangements.
Our products include payment integrations, access controls and exportable records. For US businesses entering Europe, we scope local integrations and data handling with your business and legal advisers.
From application to operation
12 months of managed hosting included for eligible development projects, within agreed resource limits. Business email setup is included within the agreed first-year package.
We select the provider, region and architecture for the workload. European or US-region deployment can be scoped where the provider and project support it. Monitoring, maintenance and backup arrangements are defined before launch.
An agreed number of employee mailboxes, storage, aliases and shared addresses where supported. Setup covers MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, secure access and MFA where available, using a managed provider agreed in the proposal.
The proposal defines eligibility, the start of the 12 months, environments, compute, storage, traffic, mailbox limits, support hours, response terms, backups and restores, extra usage, renewal pricing and handover. Application maintenance and new features are separate from hosting operations.
GPU compute, intensive AI inference, large-scale video and unusually high traffic are quoted separately. External APIs, SMS, payment fees, transactional email allowances and paid email licences are itemised separately unless expressly included.
Your domain stays yours. Client access, data exports, migration and any provider or licensing dependencies are documented. Email migration is scoped separately where needed.
Included services and limits are confirmed in your proposal; hosting and email terms must be agreed before service starts.
Discuss your build and launchHow we work
Custom builds are quoted for the agreed scope. No preset project price and no compulsory discovery package for a small, well-defined brief.
Tell us what needs to change, who will use it and which systems are involved. We discuss the goals, constraints and fit.
Where requirements are uncertain, agree a separate discovery scope. A prototype or technical proof of concept is included only if explicitly agreed—not an automatic MVP.
Deliverables, assumptions, acceptance criteria, timeline, responsibilities and payment milestones are written down. Hosting and email inclusions are itemised.
Review working software and progress at the agreed cadence. Scope changes are documented with their effect on cost and timing before work proceeds.
Agree deployment, documentation, code and account access. Support scope and hours are defined; ongoing hosting, provider charges and further development are identified separately.
Before we talk
A business platform, booking or service marketplace, connected web and mobile application, or SaaS product with meaningful workflows and integrations. We also work with software and design agencies on a defined engineering scope.
We quote after understanding the scope, integrations, operating requirements and delivery responsibilities. The proposal sets deliverables and payment milestones. There are no published build prices.
Only where it will resolve uncertainty. A clear, bounded project can move straight to a proposal. Discovery is scoped separately; it does not automatically include an MVP.
Eligible projects can include 12 months of managed hosting and business email setup within proposal-defined limits. Resources, provider, region, support, backups, mailbox allowances, start date and renewal costs must be agreed. Third-party and extra usage charges are identified separately.
Yes, enquiries from US businesses and agencies are welcome. Grundlabs is operated from Schwerte, Germany. We agree communication times and working-hour overlap for the project. Deployment close to US users can be scoped where supported; we do not advertise a US office or round-the-clock service.
The published terms transfer custom work after full payment, with third-party and pre-existing components retaining their licence conditions. The proposal specifies documentation, account and infrastructure access, export and migration arrangements and any dependencies.
No. They are our own products. Their current status is stated individually; working software and public product pages are not presented as evidence of market adoption.

A short brief is enough to start. Tell us about your users, the workflow and what a useful first release would change.
