FIG.02

You are paying for more than the software you use.

It starts with a CRM. Then project management, HR, support, expenses and approvals. Each one was the right call on the day somebody made it, and each one arrived as a whole product with its own login and its own copy of your customers.

The subscription is the part you can see on an invoice. Most of what the stack costs you is not on it.

Every new problem became another subscription.

Six business tools — CRM, Projects, HR, Finance, Spreadsheets and Docs. Each one carries its own copy of Users and Customers, its own database and its own lock, and they are tied together by a tangle of dashed API, Zapier, CSV and manual connections.

OVERLAP

The same job, paid for three times

The CRM has tasks, the project tool keeps contacts and the helpdesk has its own customer list. You pay for each of them, and someone keeps all three in step by hand.

UNUSED

Features nobody opens

Every product is built for its whole market. You pay for the modules and tiers the average customer asked for, while your team works in the handful of screens its process needs.

GLUE

The work between the tools

Exports, imports, a Zapier flow and a sync somebody wrote two years ago. None of it is on an invoice, and someone spends part of every week keeping it alive.

FIG.03

Build only what you need. Keep everything connected.

Cordango starts from the other end. Install the apps that fit and describe the ones nobody sells. Either way they are shaped around how your company works, so you end up with the software your process needs and nothing you have to work around.

None of them is a separate product. The people, the customers, the teams and the rules about who may see what sit underneath every app. An app you add today already knows your company, and work in one app can start work in another.

One platform, with every app on the same users, permissions, data and automations.

The shared platform in detail →

One band labelled Your company holding People, Customers, Teams, Permissions, Files and Audit, with six apps hanging off it on single lines: Sales CRM, Projects, Budget & Spend, Asset Register, Your own app and Purchase Requests. No integration layer between them.

FIG.04

Apps for the way your company works.

A sales pipeline, a support queue, delivery, purchase approvals, who is holding which laptop. Install what fits, and describe what does not exist yet.

SALES

Sales CRM

For the founder who still does most of the selling: a pipeline board where every open deal has a next step and a date, and a forecast weighted by stage.

See Sales CRM →

SUPPORT

Helpdesk

Everyone asks the IT or office person for things in chat and in the corridor. With this, every request lands in one queue with an owner and a due date.

See Helpdesk →

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Projects

Your team plans in Asana and keeps each project’s cost in a spreadsheet next to it. Put the effort and cost on the tasks instead, and the project adds them up.

See Projects →

YOUR PROCESS

Your own

The approval that happens by email. The register nobody owns. Describe it and Cordango builds it, on the same company data as every app beside it.

How that works →

Every app installs on its own and works on its own; a companion it is built on comes with it. See the whole App Library, or start from the problem instead: the use cases companies bring us first.

FIG.05

An approved request reserves money in the budget.

Someone asks to buy a laptop and names the budget line it should come out of. The amount decides how far the request travels: a manager, then finance, then management. When it is approved, the budget already knows.

A request names the line it should come out of, and an approval commits against it. That is not an integration anybody set up, and it is not a nightly sync. The request points at the shared budget line, and approving it records the commitment there.

Install Budget & Spend Tracker on its own and it is a budget app. Add Purchase Requests and both do more. That is the shape of every connection in the library.

FIG.06

Your business should not have to fit your software.

Most software hands you somebody else's workflow and asks the company to adapt. The usual escape is to build something yourself, and then you own a tool nobody else maintains. Neither trade is a good one.

BUY IT

Traditional SaaS

A finished product with a finished opinion. It fits the average company, and the parts where you are not average become a spreadsheet on the side.

BUILD IT

Internal tools

A perfect fit, and another silo to own. Its own login, its own copy of who works here, and one person who knows how it works.

CORDANGO

Fit and shared

Shape the app around the process you actually have, and it still runs on the same people, permissions and company data as everything else.

Adapting an app is not the same as forking it. The company still runs one system, with one set of records underneath.

FIG.07

Missing something?
Build it.

Describe the app in plain words. Cordango asks a few questions to learn how you work, then builds it for you. It comes hosted and secured, with permissions set from your answers, and it lands on the same company data as every app above.

It is built for the person who understands the process, not for someone who has become an expert in an app-building platform. Low-code gives your team the tools to build an app. Cordango gives your team the app.

Some processes are too involved for the generator. Tell us and we build it with you, in days rather than months.

Co-create with DanteYour turn

Dante needs your input

You asked for a way to track customer support tickets. What should the app be built around?

This decides the records, the screens and who sees what. You can change it later by asking.

Recommended

The queue

One list of open tickets with status, owner and customer. The team works it top to bottom.

The customer

Tickets sit under the company that raised them, so the whole history is on one page.

STEP-01

Describe your process

In the words you would use to a new colleague. Who raises it, who decides, what has to be recorded. Not a data model, not a schema, not a form builder.

STEP-02

Review and adapt it

Cordango asks the questions it genuinely needs answered, then shows you the app. Wrong in a way you only see once it is in front of you? Say so, and it changes.

STEP-03

Use it with your team

Your colleagues are already in it and the permissions already hold. It is a Cordango app like any other, so it reads the same company data as the ones you installed.

However the app arrives, it lands on the same platform, with the same users, permissions, data and governance as everything else you run.
None of the three starts with an empty canvas, and none of them starts a new silo.

FIG.08

The app belongs to the company, not to whoever built it.

Nobody sets up servers or wires permissions. Every app runs on the same foundation: single sign-on, roles and permissions, a real people directory and an audit trail. Hosting, updates and backups are managed, and it runs on German and EU infrastructure.

The important part is ownership. The app belongs to the company, so it does not leave when the person who made it does, and permissions decide who uses it rather than who happens to have the link.

Inside those rules people still work their own way. Everyone shapes their own columns, layout and home dashboard, and none of it copies the app or forks the process. Everyone works how they like. The company still runs one system, with one set of records underneath.

Security and permissions →

Also worth knowing: personal views in detail, and what owning the definition means if you ever leave.

Born Ready is the short name for this: an app arrives connected, governed, aware of your company and portable beyond us.

Start with the app you need most.
Add the next one when you need it.

You do not have to cancel anything to begin. Pick the process that costs your team the most time today and run it on Cordango. By the next renewal you will know whether you still need that subscription. Sign up and set it up yourself, or tell us what you’d build and we do it with you.
