Internal tools and custom backend systems for Hungary companies

Mid-size Hungarian companies outgrow the licensed package long before anyone budgets to replace it: an approvals process bent sideways to fit a generic tool, a reporting spreadsheet three people maintain by hand. We build the internal tool or backend system that fits the process as it actually runs, with a remote senior team and GDPR built in from the first sprint rather than bolted on before launch.

No office in Hungary and we say so upfront. What you get instead: most of the working day live together and a written scope before a number is quoted.

A Budapest working day of roughly 9am to 6pm CET falls inside our afternoon and evening, so stand-ups and demos sit inside the day rather than at either edge of it.

What we build

Internal tools and backend systems for Hungarian businesses.

A mid-size Hungarian company usually has the license fees for three or four disconnected tools and none of them fit the process anymore. We build the one system that replaces the workaround between them.

  1. Internal tools

    Approval workflows, operations dashboards and case-management tools shaped around your team, not around whatever a licensed product assumed a generic team would do.

    Laravel · Node.js · React

  2. Custom backend systems

    The system of record behind a logistics, finance or manufacturing process, documented well enough that whoever inherits it after you can read it without a handover call.

    PostgreSQL · REST · queues

  3. B2B portals

    Supplier, dealer and client portals with role-based access, so each partner sees the data their agreement covers and nothing past it.

    Role-based access · SSO-ready

  4. Reporting tools and dashboards

    Financial and operational reporting pulled straight from your existing systems, replacing the spreadsheet somebody currently rebuilds by hand every month.

    Live data · exportable

  5. CRM development

    A CRM shaped around your own sales and account-management process, instead of the generic pipeline every off-the-shelf tool assumes.

    Custom fields · workflow rules

  6. GDPR-aware architecture

    Data inventories, retention rules and deletion workflows designed in from the schema up, since GDPR applies to a Hungarian company whether the vendor building its software has thought about it or not.

    Data inventory · audit trail

Why us

Why Hungarian teams pick a remote build over a local vendor.

A remote team only earns the trust if it behaves like an accountable one. Here is what that looks like in practice.

  • One team, no subcontractor chain

    Every engineer on your project is a QalbIT employee. No local reseller adding a markup and a layer of translation between you and the people writing the code.

  • Most of the working day in common

    Hungary and Ahmedabad sit three and a half to four and a half hours apart, so a Budapest working day overlaps our afternoon and evening rather than needing an early call on either side.

  • GDPR from the first sprint, not the last

    A data inventory and a retention policy get written before the schema does, not added as a compliance pass once the product is already built.

  • You keep the code and the access

    The repository lives in your organisation from day one. If the engagement ends, you keep a working system and the keys to it, not a dependency on us.

Process

How a Hungary engagement actually runs.

The same disciplined process wherever we work, adapted to a schedule where most of the day already overlaps.

  1. Discover & define

    We map the workaround currently in place, who depends on it, and what a first release has to replace.

    Week 1

  2. Design & validate

    A clickable prototype of the workflow, reviewed with the people who will use it, before a line of production code is written.

    Weeks 2–3

  3. Build in sprints

    Working software every two weeks, demoed live rather than summarised in a status document.

    Sprint by sprint

  4. Launch & stabilise

    A rollout plan, data migration from whatever the system replaces, and a rollback path if something needs reverting.

    Launch week

  5. Improve & extend

    Monitoring and the next slice of roadmap once the system is carrying real operational data.

    Ongoing

Engagement models

Fixed scope, staff augmentation or a dedicated team.

Most internal-tools work in Hungary starts fixed-scope and moves to a dedicated team once the first system is live and the backlog keeps growing.

  1. Fixed-scope project

    A defined first release with a written scope and a fixed list of exclusions. Best for one system with a clear boundary.

    Fixed price · 6–14 weeks

  2. Dedicated product team

    A standing team that becomes the engineering function behind your internal tools, scaling as the roadmap does.

    Monthly · 30 days notice

  3. Staff augmentation

    Engineers who join your existing team and process directly, for when the gap is capacity rather than architecture.

    Per engineer · per month

Technologies

Four layers, chosen so the fifth engineer can still read them.

Every Hungary build stacks the same way: boring, proven technology at each layer, because the cost of software is not writing it, it is the years somebody else spends maintaining it.

  1. 01

    Interface

    What your users touch

    Dashboards and portals built for people who use them every day, not once.

  2. 02

    Application

    Where the rules live

    Business logic written so the next engineer can read it without you in the room.

  3. 03

    Data

    What you cannot afford to lose

    Retention rules and access control designed before the first row is written.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    How it reaches production

    Staged releases and a rollback path on every deploy.

Already running something else? We extend what works rather than rewriting it for the sake of a stack preference. The architecture review says so in writing before anyone touches a repository.

    FAQs · Hungary

    Questions Hungarian teams ask before they start

    GDPR, overlap hours, budgets and who owns what, answered plainly.

    Ask us directly →
    No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Our only office is in Ahmedabad, India, and we work as a remote engineering partner on hours that overlap most of your day. If part of the work genuinely needs someone on site, tell us early and we will say honestly whether that part belongs with a local firm.
    Three and a half hours in the Hungarian summer and four and a half in winter, since India does not observe daylight saving. A Budapest working day of roughly 9am to 6pm CET falls inside our afternoon and evening, so calls and demos sit inside the day rather than at either edge of it.
    Fixed-scope projects start from about $6,500 and a scoped first version typically from $5,000, invoiced in euros or US dollars as agreed. Where your project lands depends on integrations, user roles and how many platforms it has to run on. You get a written range with the exclusions listed within 48 hours of the first call, free either way.
    We treat GDPR as a design consideration from the first sprint: a data inventory, retention rules a person can actually read, deletion that reaches backups, and an audit trail that records who read a record as well as who changed it. We are engineers rather than your lawyers, so your own compliance contact decides what applies and we build the product to match it.
    Yes. Wiring a new internal tool to an existing accounting package or ERP is common work for us: queues, retries and a reconciliation view so a failed sync is visible rather than silent. The integration points need to be documented upfront, and we will tell you early if a system's export is too thin to integrate cleanly.
    Yes, it is a large part of what we build for Hungarian clients: CRMs shaped around an existing sales process, and reporting dashboards that replace a spreadsheet a team currently maintains by hand. We size the build to the company, not to a generic enterprise template.
    Project delivery, calls and documentation run in English. We do not currently have documented Hungarian-speaking staff, so if your stakeholder group needs Hungarian-language delivery throughout, raise it on the first call and we will tell you plainly whether we can meet it or whether a local studio is the better fit.
    You do, from the first commit. Repositories, cloud accounts and domains are created in your company's name, intellectual property is assigned as the work is created rather than on final payment, and an NDA is in place before you share anything sensitive.
    Yes. We can share named case studies and, where a client agrees, put you in touch directly. We do not manufacture references or use a client's name without written permission.
    You contract with QalbIT Infotech, an Indian company, and we sign your contract with the jurisdiction, liability and termination clauses your legal team prefers. We do not ask clients to contract under the law of another country. Invoices are raised in euros or US dollars, as agreed, against the milestones in the contract.
    One discovery call, then a written scope with the exclusions named, back inside 48 hours. If it fits, a clickable prototype follows in week one and a demo every two weeks after that. Dedicated engagements run monthly with 30 days notice on either side, so nothing locks you in while you are still deciding.
