Synergy and innovation

Software and strategy, from one source.

Synnovation builds custom software and websites, and advises on business management, finance and data. Grounded in both computer science and corporate finance.

Services

Technology that fits the way your business works.

  • Custom software

    Web applications and portals tailored to your processes. From analysis and architecture to delivery, hosting and maintenance.

  • Websites

    Clear, fast websites you manage yourself. Findable, accessible and multilingual where needed.

  • Business consulting

    An independent view of processes, structure and finances, with concrete recommendations and a clear order of priorities.

  • Audits and data analysis

    A thorough review of figures and processes, with a report that turns findings into decisions.

  • IT services

    Advice and support on tools, systems, security and automating recurring work.

Quality

Software is only finished when it is also findable, fast, secure and reliable.

That is why this comes standard with every project, not as an afterthought.

  • Findability

    Sound structure, metadata, sitemaps and language references, so search engines can find you.

  • Speed

    Optimised images, caching and short load times, on mobile too.

  • Security

    Thorough security checks, strict security headers, encryption and two-factor authentication where it matters.

  • Availability

    Reliable hosting and monitoring, so problems are caught before your customers notice.

  • Backups

    Automatic backups and a recovery procedure that has been tested in advance.

  • Privacy

    Only the data that is needed, clear retention periods and GDPR-compliant agreements.
