Development

60% faster and yet future-proof and completely standard - we know what digitalization projects are all about: SHAPE® is our modular system for developing and expanding business solutions. Take advantage of our established best practices, component libraries, and business and integration services. Or use the SHAPE® Business App Creator to further accelerate the development of your solution.

The flagship of any good business app is the frontend. This is where it is essentially decided whether a good user experience can be achieved or not. In order to guarantee this, it is essential to have your finger on the pulse of technology, without, however, following every short-term trend. We guarantee our customers an enterprise-grade development stack with regard to maintainability, quality and reusability of the Code.

SHAPE® Libraries

In order to guarantee maintainability, quality, and reusability, we rely on proven UX libraries for our projects. In addition to established third party libraries such as SAP UI5 or Google's Angular Material, we also use our own libraries from the SHAPE® system, which allows us to save up to 50% of development time.

SHAPE® Business App Creator

The Business App Accelerator helps you to quickly implement our business apps. (Currently available for UI5, Angular, and iOS)

Configure instead of develop: define your user interface. Select app patterns and widgets and adapt them to your own corporate design
Direct integration into existing systems: access existing interfaces. Simply display your data in a widget in your app
Flexibility thanks to customizing: the Business App Accelerator allows individual developments thanks to our widget concept

Backend / Middleware Development

Most digitization projects do not get along without a small extension of the backend layer. The trick here is to keep it as lightweight as possible. This ensures that the effort is kept to a minimum and at the same time ensures that the data is managed where it belongs - in the backend systems.

To ensure this, the SHAPE^® Stack offers a number of possibilities:

SHAPE® Framework

The task of the SHAPE® framework is to realize microservice-based, distributed applications. What do you get out of it as a customer?

Scalable, modern backend systems within 50% of the time otherwise required.

SHAPE® System Integration

The integration into existing systems is an important part of every software project.

With SHAPE® we ensure that once developed integration services are reused in new projects:

SAP
Microsoft
Atlassian
...

SHAPE® Business Services

Why reinvent when you can reuse things? This is the philosophy behind SHAPE® Business Services. All business apps created by sovanta pay for this. Over time, an extensive collection of business services has come together that we can use directly for new solutions. What can you imagine?

Messaging Services (Email, Push, ...)
PDF Export und Generation
AI Services (Recommender, OCR, Image Recognition)
Scheduler
...

Bot Development

Our iterative approach allows a direct comparison of different solutions as well as easy and fast adaptation for newly available data sets. This keeps us agile and productive.
