Engineering partners, not just vendors.
METZ CODE was founded in 2018 by engineers with experience going back to 2010. We design, build, and operate software for founders, product teams, and established companies — from first-version MVPs to long-running platforms used by thousands.
We work in small senior teams and pick technology that fits the problem, not the trend. Our work spans healthcare, e-commerce, ERP, CRM, insurance, and FinTech — wherever the problem is interesting and the system needs to keep running. Every engagement starts with the same question: what are you actually solving for? Then we ship the smallest thing that solves it well — and stay around to keep it working.
- Senior engineers from day one. No staffing rotations, no juniors-in-disguise. Every person on your project has been shipping production software for years.
- Pragmatic over fashionable. We pick well-understood technology that won't surprise you in production. We tell you what's hard, what's risky, and what we'd cut.
- Long-term partners. Software needs maintenance, upgrades, and the occasional 2 a.m. fix. We aim to be the team you keep working with — not the one you replace next quarter.
How we work
Four steps from a first call to long-running software
Discovery
A short call, then a focused discovery: what are you actually solving for, what's been tried, what's in scope, what isn't. We'd rather find out we're not the right fit on day one than month three.
Plan
An honest scope: milestones, costs, the trade-offs we see, and the things we'd cut. You leave with a plan you can defend internally — not a 50-slide proposal.
Build
Two-week iterations, demo every cycle, a real human you can talk to. We work in your tools, your timezone, and your processes — or set up better ones if yours are getting in the way.
Operate
Software needs maintenance, upgrades, and the occasional 2 a.m. fix. We stay around — keeping the system healthy, the dependencies current, and the team we built handed over cleanly when you're ready.
Services
What you can hire us for
Custom Software Development
Web, mobile, and cloud applications, built to last.
From MVPs to platforms serving thousands of users. We document what we build, write tests that catch real bugs, and leave code your future team can read.
Dedicated Teams
Plug a senior team into your roadmap.
Long-term embedded teams that work as an extension of yours — your backlog, your processes, your timezone. EU-based, GDPR-aligned, no handoffs across continents.
Tech Strategy & Audits
Architecture reviews, audits, and roadmaps for the calls that matter.
Stuck choosing a stack? Migrating off legacy? Scaling further than you planned for? Need technical due diligence before an acquisition? We've done it — we'll tell you what we'd do and why.
Consulting & Leadership
Engineering leadership and pragmatic advice when you need it most.
Fractional CTO, interim engineering management, build-vs-buy calls, hiring plans, team turnaround — the kind of input you'd want from a senior engineer on your side of the table.
Tech we use
We pick boring, well-understood technology — the kind that won't surprise you in production.

Working with something else? Tell us about it — we've probably touched it.
Industries we know
Twelve verticals, regulated and unregulated alike. The Logistics card has a star — that's the one we run ourselves.
Healthcare & MedTech
We treat patient data like the audit trail it deserves — encrypted, logged, and never further than it needs to be.
E-commerce & Retail
High-traffic storefronts, custom checkout, real-time inventory. Built to survive Black Friday, not just average Tuesday.
ERP
Workflow automation that fits how your business actually runs — not a textbook of how it should.
CRM
Built around how your team actually sells — not how the platform thinks they should.
Insurance
Compliance-aware engineering for systems where the audit log is the product.
FinTech & Payments
In money software, "almost right" is wrong. We act accordingly.
Logistics & Fleet
We build and operate our own multi-tenant fleet management SaaS — so we know what it takes to keep wheels turning.
Manufacturing & Industry 4.0
Where the shop floor meets the cloud. MES integrations and IoT pipelines without taking down the line.
EdTech & Learning
Built for institutions that need real adoption — not just a demo for the board.
Real Estate & PropTech
Listings, property management, tenant portals, booking platforms. Multi-currency, multi-region, multi-language.
Travel & Hospitality
Systems that handle peak season — and the email storms that follow.
Telecom & Communications
BSS/OSS modernization, customer self-service, complex billing. Where milliseconds matter.
Different industry? Tell us about it — we've probably touched it.
Selected work
A small sample of what we've shipped — most of our work is under NDA.
Fleet Management Platform
A multi-tenant fleet operations platform we build and operate ourselves. Real-time GPS tracking, fuel and maintenance management, route optimization, and driver mobile apps. White-labelable for fleet operators across the EU.
Patient Self-Service Platform
Patient self-service portal for a regional hospital network. Online booking with real provider availability, secure messaging with care teams, lab results delivery, and HL7/FHIR integration with the hospital's EHR. GDPR-compliant logging end-to-end.
Insurance Broker Portal
Broker-facing platform for an insurance carrier. Quote-to-bind workflows, policy lifecycle, commission calculation, and regulatory reporting with full audit trails. Built to handle peak volumes during renewal cycles.
More projects available under NDA — ask us.
Have a project in mind?
Tell us what you're building. We'll come back with honest scope, an honest timeline, and the trade-offs we see. No 50-slide proposals — we usually start with a short call.

How we work in practice
A few principles we keep coming back to
We say no to projects that don't fit.
If we can't add real value, we'll tell you and recommend someone who can. A bad fit costs you more than a passed-on engagement.
We document what we build.
Architecture decisions, runbooks, the why behind non-obvious choices. Future-you (or your next hire) will thank us.
We don't bill for our own bugs.
If something broke because we shipped it broken, we fix it on our time. That's not generosity — it's how we'd want to be treated.
We tell you what's hard before you ask.
Risks, unknowns, the things keeping us up at night about your project — surfaced early, in writing. Surprises are bad for everyone.
