Software development company in Utrecht for custom software, AI and developers

Looking for a software development company in Utrecht that understands what your software has to achieve? Chief builds custom software, integrations, apps and data platforms, and provides senior developers and technical leadership for your own team. We work from our own office on Atoomweg in Utrecht and come to you when it helps.

Custom software development in Utrecht

Chief is a software company from Utrecht, founded in 2021 and now around ten people. Our office is at Atoomweg 50 on the Lage Weide business park, and that is where we build software for organisations that need more than an off-the-shelf package.

Our developers don't start with the technology. They start with your business case: what problem are you solving, for whom, and what should it deliver? Once that is clear, we build. Usually in .NET, React or Angular, on Azure or AWS, and where needed we also build iOS apps, firmware and hardware.

One example: we develop and maintain a complete platform for mobility registration, CO₂ reporting and fleet management, with an iOS and Android app and a management portal. Vehicle details are filled in automatically from the national vehicle register, and fleet data from leasing companies can be imported without retyping. See our cases for more examples.

Three ways Chief can help

You can work with Chief in three ways, and in practice they often overlap.

Custom software: we build it, from business case to live system. Platforms and portals, integrations between systems and apps. We also take over existing software to develop it further, and design the hardware and firmware alongside it when needed.
AI and data: data platforms, dashboards and reporting as the foundation, and AI where it saves time or errors in your processes or existing software.
Developers and technical leadership: senior developers in your own team, coaching for your development team, or a tech lead who guards the technical direction.

Questions Utrecht businesses bring to us

These are questions we hear often:

“We type the same data into three systems. Can that be automated?”
“Our software is outdated and the people who built it are gone. Who can take it over?”
“We want a customer portal, but no package fits the way we work.”
“We have lots of data, but nobody does anything with it. What can we do with it, and where does AI help?”
“Our development team has more work than hands. Can you join in?”

Each of these has an answer: an integration that ends the retyping, a takeover that starts by working out how your software is put together, a portal that fits the way you work, a data foundation with dashboards, or developers who build alongside your team. Sound familiar? That is a good start for a conversation.

Senior developers in your team, from Utrecht

Does your team need more capacity or experience? Our developers build alongside your team, coach your developers or take on technical leadership. This is not secondment: they work from our office in Utrecht and come to you for a day or for meetings when that helps.

For example, two experienced developers from Chief strengthened the team building the front end of a new travel platform and coached the team along the way. The platform went live in early December 2023, on schedule, and the first bookings came in at the start of January. The team now builds on the modernised front end itself.

From Lage Weide into the region

Our office is on the Lage Weide business park in Utrecht. We do most of our work there, and you are welcome to visit for an introduction. For a workshop, a demo or a day working alongside your team, we come to you.

Working with Chief: what to expect

We start with a conversation about your situation and goals. No sales pitch, but critical questions: what should the software deliver, what already exists, and what is better left as it is?

Then we build in small steps, so you see working software early and can adjust course. You talk directly to the developers working on your software.

After go-live we stay involved. We maintain the software and keep developing it as your organisation changes.
