Chief builds custom software for companies in Amersfoort. Our office is in Utrecht, we drive to De Hoef, Calveen or Vathorst via the A28, and the train from Utrecht Centraal gets you there as well. For companies in Amersfoort we build platforms, portals, apps, integrations and reporting, and we take over existing software.
You are looking for software that fits the way your organisation in Amersfoort works: a platform you deliver to your customers, a portal for your own people, an app for people on the road, or the reports your board steers on. Chief builds it to fit.
We start with the business case: what should the software deliver, and for whom? Only when that is clear do we draw screens and start building. We work in .NET with React or Angular, on Azure or AWS, and native iOS for mobile. Your industry does not decide what we do, your process does.
Sometimes software does not stop at the screen. Where it is needed we design the hardware and write the firmware underneath. With Spotten, our own product, the measurement platform and the sensor that takes the measurement came from the same team.
How that kind of project runs is on our page about custom software development. See our cases for more examples.
A lot of our work is about software that already exists. An integration with a package you are not going to replace, so data is not entered twice. Or taking over an application whose builder has gone and that nobody dares to touch any more. We make it maintainable again and develop it further.
Is a team already at work on your software? Then our developers join that team rather than working as a second one beside it. It can also start small: one integration or one report, and grow from there.
Plenty of questions in an organisation are not hard, but the data sits in several systems and nobody can pull it together quickly. For companies in Amersfoort we build data platforms, dashboards and reports where that does work, and we write down how every figure is calculated.
For AI we pick one process where time is being lost today and build one finished application for it. That application goes where your people already work, with clear boundaries on what the AI may do. Our page on AI implementation explains how we go about it.
Yes. Senior developers from Chief build alongside your team, coach your own developers or take on technical leadership. A tech lead also advises your management on technical choices, risks and the roadmap. They work on your site when that makes the work better.
Developers who join your team stay part of Chief: they keep taking part in our reviews and can fall back on colleagues with different experience. What they learn about your system goes into your repository, so a colleague can pick it up if someone leaves. More on that under hire software developers and technical leadership.
Amersfoort is the second-largest city in the province of Utrecht and sits on the A1 and A28 motorways. Our office is in Utrecht, and along the A28 we can usually be with you within half an hour.
We do most of our work from our own office and come to Amersfoort when it helps: for an introduction, a workshop with your team or a day of building together. Prefer to come to us? Then you meet the developers who will work on your software. Short check-ins and demos happen online.
A project with a client in Amersfoort starts with a conversation about your goals, your bottlenecks and what is already there. Then we advise on the route: build something new, develop existing software further, or connect a standard package properly. If a package like that already covers most of your process, we say so.
We then build in short steps. You get working versions on a test environment with a demo alongside, so you can adjust course. After go-live the code sits in your own repository and we agree who maintains it: we do, your team does, or both together.
Not sure yet whether your idea can be built? That too is a fine place to start.
We drive over from Utrecht via the A28. Calling or emailing works too.
