Clear. Core to Kern.
We build and automate software for companies worldwide. We agree what you're getting and when it goes live before we start. You own the code.
We work with the platforms, models and systems you already use.
The same team handles your design, development and automation. You don't have to coordinate separate suppliers or resolve disagreements between them. Fewer handovers mean less waiting and less room for misunderstanding.
Custom applications, platforms, online shops and websites. Built on tech that's still maintainable in three years.
See developmentWe automate work your team still does by hand. Less retyping means fewer mistakes, and tasks can move on without waiting.
See automationAgents and integrations for everyday use, including search across your own data.
See AIWeb design, UI/UX, brand identity and prototypes. Drawn by the same people who then build it.

With hourly billing, you pay when the work takes longer. At Kern, we agree a price for the work before we start. That price holds.

Scope changes along the way? We talk about it openly, before we build any further.
Predictable. Core to Kern.
Four phases, with the work and costs agreed at each stage. You always know what comes next.
We map your goal, your process and the bottlenecks worth solving. If custom software isn't the answer, we say so.
You get it on paper: what we build, in which steps, and why. With one price that holds.
We build in short rounds. You can try the software while we're working on it.
Code, documentation and access transfer to you. Hosting and maintenance are available, never required.
Here's what that looks like in practice.Read the full process
