Agile development

We write less specifications and more software. Our philosophy is that requirements only become perfectly clear while a project is in full swing. The Agile method allows us to deliver working products during the development process and react to change. This way you get what you want and not what you wanted.

Fixed price

Nedforce delivers for a fixed price, taking feedback and changing requirements into account. The specification is interpreted in consultation with the customer. When new requirements do not fit the quote we get back to you quickly so we can work together on a new agreement.

We specialize in Ruby on Rails and base all our products on this platform. It allows us to develop quickly and flexibly and facilitates testing, security and best practices.

More on Ruby On Rails

Content Management

Next to her own DevCMS Nedforce delivers open source solutions like Refinery CMS. We choose the solution that fits you best and deliver it tailored to your needs.

More on content management

Secure by default

Our choice for Ruby on Rails means that our software is invulnerable to all regular security problems like SQL Injection, CSRF en XSS.

Integration

We transfer your existing data to your new system. We also integrate with existing infrastructure via both SOAP and REST web services.

---

Testing

We apply principles like TDD and BDD to test automatically. The suite of tests that we develop in parallel with the project guarantees reliability.

---

SpreE-Commerce

Spree is our recommended e-commerce solution. With Spree we can implement a first-class webshop with a flexible structure and extensive order management.

Agile for a fixed price

"The principles of agile development and fixed price do not always go well together. On the one hand customers want to adjust wishes and requirements to new insights during the process, on the other hand customers expect that the price is fixed beforehand. By sound advice, a flexible attitude, prioritization, good communication and planning Nedforce finds the optimal medium."
