What is MG Software?

Who is MG Software for?
MG Software works with businesses of all sizes: from startups to established enterprises. Whether you need a new web application, want to automate your business processes, or are looking for AI solutions - we're here to help.
Where is MG Software located?
MG Software is based in Haarlem, North Holland. However, we work with clients across the Netherlands and beyond — remote collaboration is part of our daily routine.
What services does MG Software offer?
We offer custom software development, web applications, mobile apps, AI & automation, API integrations and technical consulting. Every project is tailored to your specific needs.
Do you also build mobile apps?
Yes, we build cross-platform mobile apps with React Native and native apps where needed. This means one codebase for both iOS and Android, saving costs and development time.
Do you offer maintenance and support after delivery?
Absolutely. After delivery we offer ongoing maintenance, monitoring, bug fixes and further development. We view our client relationships as long-term partnerships.
Can MG Software help with AI and automation?
Yes, AI and automation are one of our specialties. Think chatbots, document processing, predictive analytics, workflow automation and integration of LLMs into existing systems.
How does a collaboration with MG Software work?
We start with a discovery call to understand your needs and goals. Then we create a plan, build iteratively with regular feedback moments, and ensure a smooth delivery. After launch, we remain available for maintenance and further development.
How long does it take to build software?
The timeline depends on complexity. An MVP can be done in 4-8 weeks, a full application in 3-6 months. During our first conversation, we provide a realistic time estimate for your specific project.
Do you work agile or waterfall?
We work agile with short 2-week sprints. This means regular demos, fast feedback loops and the flexibility to adjust course. You see continuous progress and can shift priorities.
Can I change requirements during the project?
Yes, that's exactly the advantage of our agile approach. After each sprint we evaluate together and priorities can shift. We always keep you informed about the impact on planning and budget.
What does it cost to have software developed?
Costs depend on the scope and complexity of your project. A simple web application starts from €5,000, a more complex solution can run up to €50,000+. Use our free calculator for a quick estimate, or contact us for a custom quote.
How does payment work?
We work with clear milestones. Typically you pay 30% at start, 40% midway and 30% at delivery. For ongoing maintenance we work with monthly subscriptions.
Are there hidden costs?
No. We communicate all costs upfront including hosting, licenses and any third-party services. Our quotes are clear and complete — no surprises afterwards.
Do you offer a free introductory call?
Yes, the first call is always free and without obligation. We discuss your idea, give an indication of costs and timeline, and see if we're a good match.
What technologies does MG Software use?
We work with modern, proven technologies like React, Next.js, Node.js, Python and cloud platforms. We always choose the specific tech stack based on your project and requirements.
Can MG Software integrate with existing systems?
Yes, we have extensive experience with API integrations. Whether it's ERP systems, CRMs, payment providers or legacy software — we ensure a seamless connection.
What about security and privacy?
Security is a core part of every project. We follow security best practices, implement encryption, secure authentication and are familiar with GDPR compliance. Your data is in good hands with us.
Where will my software be hosted?
We host with reliable European cloud providers like Vercel, AWS (EU region) or Azure. The choice depends on your requirements for performance, compliance and budget. Hosting within the EU is standard.
