Booking and management systems
that fit your process. Not the other way around.
Custom-built web applications based on Laravel, Livewire and Filament — production-ready in weeks, not months. For Austrian mid-sized companies that are outgrowing Excel and Outlook, or dissatisfied with their existing software.
Off-the-shelf SaaS fits 70 %. The missing 30 % cost you hours every week.
Every Excel export, every workaround, every “sorry, our system can’t do that” means extra effort, a little frustration, and lost revenue. Custom software pays off when it’s built quickly, stays maintainable, and mirrors your process one-to-one.
Excel & Outlook at their limit
Spreadsheets nobody understands anymore. Appointments that live nowhere central.
Duplicate data entry
Data gets copy-pasted between three systems. Every single time.
Legacy Access / FileMaker tools
Only runs on one machine. Nobody dares touch it.
Documents by hand instead of automated
Certificates, attendance sheets, confirmations — opening Word every single time.
One application. One login. A delightful user experience. Zero friction.
We build tailor-made business applications — booking systems, management tools, industry-specific software — on top of Laravel and Livewire. We bring decades of UX experience in crafting elegant web interfaces. Thanks to AI-agent-assisted development, our two-person team delivers your software at a guaranteed lean budget between 5,000 and 100,000 euros.
You get software that mirrors your process exactly — and that you keep when we’re done. The code belongs to you. No vendor lock-in.
Laravel
The world’s most widely used PHP framework for business apps. Stable, secure, and continuously developed for over 10 years. You’ll find Laravel developers in every city.
Livewire
Reactive interfaces without SPA overhead. Features that take two weeks in a React stack are done in two days with Livewire. One repo, one deployment.
Filament
Production-ready admin interfaces in hours instead of weeks. Forms, tables, dashboards, roles — standardized, accessible, and still fully customizable.
First-aid course management:
from Excel to production-ready in two months.
An Austrian first-aid course provider managed courses, instructors and participants for years using Excel sheets and Word templates. Quotes and course certificates were created one by one, by hand.
Today the entire course lifecycle runs in a single Laravel application — from course planning and quote creation, to online participant sign-up via QR code, to the automatically generated attendance certificate as a PDF with company logo and instructor signature.
Tokenized self-service URLs
Every instructor gets a QR code that leads to a short sign-up form for the course currently in progress. Participants register — no portal login, no password. Rate limiting and invisible spam protection included.
Instructor confirms attendance with one click
One click and the participant’s attendance is saved — without a page reload. Statistics update silently in the background.
Documents at the push of a button
Attendance sheets, participant rosters, individual certificates and diplomas — all as pixel-perfect PDFs via DomPDF. Excel import for bulk sign-ups included, with both German and English column headings.
Audit log & roles — audit-proof
Every status change is logged with timestamp and user. Clean separation of roles (super admin, admin, instructor) with permissions technically enforced through policies.
Flexible pricing model & test-data flag
Default prices per course format, overridable per course and customer — models real pricing negotiations. An is_testdata flag separates sample data from real data: a single command cleans up before go-live.
Proven building blocks. Modern composition.
All components are open source, widely adopted, and backed by large communities. You’re not dependent on us — any Laravel agency can take over.
Specification first, then the code.
AI-agent-assisted, but definitely no vibe-coding.
Every feature starts with a versioned spec document. We use OpenSpec, an open Markdown-based format: requirements, scenarios, delta changes, and task lists are versioned as files in Git — readable by humans AND by our AI agent Claude Code from ANTHROPIC.
The result: we talk very precisely about the WHAT before we implement the HOW. As senior software engineers, we apply very high standards to architecture, quality and security already during the planning phase. This makes AI-assisted development highly controllable and traceable. Regular code reviews, human-in-the-loop, and changes via OpenSpec changesets guarantee higher quality than was previously possible. The specifications also feed into automated end-to-end tests, providing an additional layer of quality assurance for later changes or extensions.

Why this matters to us and to you: Change requests come in as a new change — we see scope, effort and impact before development starts.

Your case isn’t here?
The most exciting projects are usually the ones that don’t fit any standard category. Tell us about your process.
Schedule an intro call →When custom software makes sense — and when it doesn’t.
If standard SaaS works for you, we’ll recommend one — even if that means we don’t land the project.
Custom software pays off when …
- ✓ SaaS vendors cover 80 % of your process — and the other 20 % hurts every week.
- ✓ You re-enter data across multiple systems.
- ✓ Your software is more than 10 years old and feels unmaintainable.
- ✓ You want to turn your process into a competitive advantage.
- ✓ You have feature requests for your industry software that never get built.
Standard SaaS is still the right choice when …
- – You have a purely standard process (e.g. classic bookkeeping).
- – You have fewer than 5–10 users and no special requirements.
- – Your budget is below 5,000 euros.
- – The software isn’t a critical asset to your business.
From first call to go-live.

05
Maintenance
Optional maintenance contract. Cancellable at any time. The code belongs to you.
What managing directors typically ask us.
What happens if rockit no longer exists one day?
All of the code belongs to you. Laravel is a global standard — any Laravel developer can take over. We document everything and hand it over when needed.
Do we need to install anything on our servers?
No. The app runs as a web application in the browser, on any device. No installation, no VPN, no fat client. Basic web hosting is enough.
How secure is our data?
Hosting in Austria or the EU, as you prefer. HTTPS, CSRF / XSS / SQL-injection protection via Laravel defaults. GDPR-compliant, right-to-access technically implemented.
How long does a typical project take?
Small admin apps: 4–8 weeks. Mid-size booking systems (like the first-aid case): 2–5 months. Larger custom solutions: 4–9 months.
How much does it cost?
Project budgets between 5,000 and 100,000 euros, depending on scope. After the concept workshop we quote a fixed-price range.
Why not just Zoho, Salesforce or Odoo?
Go ahead — if it fits. We get called when that’s no longer the case: when the platform is too restrictive, too expensive, or simply can’t model the logic you need.
Got 30 minutes? So do we.
No sales pitch. You walk us through your process, we tell you honestly whether custom software makes sense for you — and roughly what it would cost.
Or write three sentences about your problem — we’ll reply within 24 hours.
