In one sentence

Wavect delivers custom software development across Austria as a scoped engagement: we define the build, fix the price in a signed Werkvertrag where the scope allows, and hand over code you fully own.

Best for

  • Buyers who need a fixed, contractually binding price before they commit budget
  • Teams anywhere in Austria comfortable with mostly-remote delivery and on-site time only when the project needs it
  • Companies replacing an offshore or freelance arrangement that left them with code nobody can maintain

Not the fit for

  • Off-the-shelf software you can buy instead of build
  • Pure staff augmentation or lowest-cost offshore execution
  • Open-ended research with no scope anyone can price

How a development engagement works

Less a menu of technologies, more how the build gets scoped, priced and handed over.
  • Scoping first. We turn the goal into a bounded scope before quoting, so budget and timeline are honest from the start.
  • A contract model that fits. Fixed price on a signed Werkvertrag when scope is clear, a time-and-materials retainer when it is still moving.
  • Mostly-remote delivery across Austria. We work with clients in every state, on-site only when a phase genuinely needs it.
  • Code you own. Tests, documentation and full ownership at handover, so you are never locked to one vendor.
  • Web, mobile and AI in scope. Whatever the product needs. For AI-first builds, see our AI agency in Tyrol.

When Wavect fits, when it doesn't

// 01

Choose Wavect when

  • You need custom software built and shipped, with senior people who make product calls, not just take orders
  • You want a scoped, fixed-price option or a clear monthly retainer
  • You care about owning the code and the decisions afterwards
// 02

Choose someone else when

  • A standard product off the shelf already solves the problem
  • You only need extra hands for a spec that is already written (a staffing agency is cheaper)
  • You need a large enterprise consultancy for a multi-year rollout

We would rather lose the project on the first call than take work we are not the right team for.

Software development in Austria: common questions

It depends on scope, integrations and how much is genuinely custom. An MVP is a different number from a multi-team platform. Our guide to software development cost in Austria breaks down the ranges and what drives them, and we scope every project before quoting.
Yes, for work we can scope clearly. Fixed price means a signed statement of work that legally binds us to deliver what we agreed. It is a Werkvertrag, not a deadline-refund promise. When scope is still moving, a time-and-materials retainer is more honest.
Yes. We are based in Tyrol and work with clients across Austria, Germany, Switzerland and internationally, mostly remote with on-site time when it helps.
You do. We hand over the code, tests and documentation so you are never locked to us. Avoiding vendor lock-in is part of how we work, not an upsell.
